John Digweed ‎-- Global Underground 006: Sydney (CD2) 

wow.....21 yrs already! Bought it in NYC at the imports section at what used to be Virgin Megastore, Times Square. Changed my life, became a professional DJ. I owe these classic CD's and especially John Digweed a huge debt! This cd never gets old.....

Feel so very fortunate to have experienced this era in real-time. Incredible music. Cheers.

perfection in mixing before digital mixers, CDJs, consoles, serato, traktor, or whatever other garbage that is used in todays DJ circuit... this is why these mixes are so tight, so elegant, beautiful, thought out, crafted by a genius that was dedicated to his craft, the groove, and not to some LCD/LED screen telling him where to drop or cut... John DIgweed, master and genius, truly todays DJ could take a lesson.

Disc 2 one of my favorite sets of all time; especially when he drops "Words." But everything leading up to that moment... someone else here said it, close to perfection.

This DJ set is as close to perfection as its possible. Combining energy, trance, hypnosis, melodies, eclectic, mixing genres. Sounds so good...

Came to remember the good times from the late 90s 🥰

Vintage Millenium and Ylem...still as good as back in the days 🙏 The whole set is perfect 👏👏

This CD was how I discovered and transitioned into real trance. I started out listening to cheesy uplifting pop trance. My friends (although techno heads not trance) knew that I was an absolute cheese meister who needed help / saving so they hooked me up with this CD. That weekend I went out and burnt all my shitty upfliting trance CD's and restocked with as much Paul Oakenfold, Sashsa and John Digweed mixes as I could find.

When Digweed plays to a harder more demanding crowd it can be so damn good….. Utrecth is one that co Es to mind and ofc this old mix from waaay back.

My discs are scratched to all get out. over play, lending., car abuse..disc 2 my favorite. Many a late night, last 4 tracks (if I had to single out...) most inspiring...makes me want to run again. This is how I hang onto some of the best years of my life....Dancing, free...expression...good times with no regrets. Just joy...

Fuck this was amazing in its day , and has aged pretty well considering it's nearly a ¼ of a century old. It was one of the few global's from number 1 to around 25 I didn't own back then. Because I didn't need to tbh, my best mate who was like a brother has it and we usually went out to the same parties or places on nights out. Sadly that day is gone as the man died aged 34 , 8 years ago . Rest easy buddy . Keep on dancing and see U again 😊 Peace ✌️

Diggers absolutely tearin' it down, superb, an artist at the pinnacle of his craft.....a legacy selection and mix

I remember those days in my youth, when i was looking for good electronic music,didn't know who, or what good electronic music would sound, but i took my time in the store, like around 2 hours or so, then i came across a double cd that it looked sophisticated to me somehow i wasn't sure tho cause i didn't know nothing about this guy neither with at least 1 of the songs in it, buy he looked well dress, the cd felt heavy, it seem to me inside was something well done or at the very least this guy put a big effort, it said: "DJ sasha" and something that clear my doubts was that the cd said GLOBAL UNDERGROUND.... COULDN'T wait home to play it, To summarize i will say this, yo me is the must wonderful music i discover on my own, djs with the class and fame world wide something that i was not aware djs were doing, but as far as i found out, a few had this privileged jet-set life style like sasha j. Digweed, okenfold, nick warren, and few more but rapidly started to grow, And when i went to a concert to see Paul Okenfold in Portland Or. This i will never forget, without of doubt one of the most accelerating,wonderful and impactful moments in my life for sure...

The whole album reminds me about 90s Arcade/PC racing game menu-music.

Oh my god i really really like & love this album is so fine and sofisticated for me when i was 17 that stills inspiring me each time i listen it

Same here kid and I'm 61, timeless mixing perfection

The GU that started it all for me. Absolutely incredible.

I used this CD set as one of those foundational pieces from which to build out my music library. Man, it's still great to hear this again. This music is timeless

Got this when first came out and I still kick the shite out of it....Brilliant

All time best ever mix ,countless hours spent have been spent listening ,thanks john

Bronco bowl irving texas ...line was so long at midnight still that they brought pizza to us ...sasha was there too amazing

One of the all time great trance mixes - thanks for the upload, brings back lots of memories !

All I can say: 🙌🏽 Year 2024

This is raw Mitsubishi times in Cream Liverpool and I fucking loved it 😍

Still my favourite mix of all time!!

Danced my arse off to this gig in Sydney changed my life

tickles every nerve ending just right. thank you for the the 30 plus.

Everything was a masterpiece for Sydney especially disc 2. For myself I felt as if the sound within each soundtrack was very Outback Australia. I always have felt this was the perfect Trance journey!

39:43 That's why I love Diggers his mixing is amazing

Propaganda... Omfg what a demon track 😎🥶

Still hits a punch, amazing energy after all the years. Tight but wild mix full of devil

Here obviously the best song on this CD is Deepsky -- Stargazer

this is so fire

Agreed! Love it! Such a good album.

I love this set! Oldies

51:45 "The unexplained! The unexplained!"

pura perfección musical, gracias por el aporte brother!!!!

I read responses to this from years gone by... still a top mix... and one that I will always recall, just for the intro tunes.... blessed to have the JD... a top mix, even from back then.... people still wanting the tunes from it..... :)

One of the best ever !!!!

i fookin love it !!

So Good!

I always thought this cover looked like a giant smiley face.

I heard this in a random shop for bizarre things (statues of things etc and the lady had sticks burning)....instant whip into HMW (at the time)

THE ENERGY!!!! YES!!!!

I have tracks 4 ,6, 8, 11.12 on vinyl ..

the digger in his prime .... :)

the first GU I ever heard when it was released...and the first time when I heard Digweed alone mixing.... :) what do you think?

I wish I could see a Dj Mix from Digweed with Paul Van Dyk on it or vice versa recently mixed.

Exactly what Gramecc said ! ;-)
