  • John Digweed 'Live In' Series - Fabric, London

I’ve driven here and photographed the night sober and it’s been really really good. I was actually worried I wouldn’t like his current style as it’s been a long time since I’ve seen him.

I’ve come back to several DJs after some time only to find their style change.

His kiss 100 transitions shows were part of what got me into Prog though.

    Nice track from Gorge. Not sure about Diggers’ barnet though.

    Eh. Bought my mix from iTunes, they’re singular tracks (51 of them) that say ‘Mixed’, but they’re actually all unmixed. :/

      I should have pointed it the other way as that’s the entrance side. There were more than it looks but it wasn’t exactly rammed.

      In cyprus we also suffer the same thing as many places where instead of 10% no shows people get anxious about covid / being off work and about 30 or sometimes 40% don’t show. Suspect that is about to improve in the U.K. with the new rules.

        Nobody off their tits…

        Can anyone please tell , are there any differences between apple music and cd version ?

          Maxim it’s missing tracks that they couldn’t license. Cd and bandcamp or beatport are the full version. Streaming sites don’t have crowd noise either.

              I guess the story here is why release a product which can’t be fully released on some platforms?

              This is possibly the worst example to do this, a continuous progressive house mix

              Fairly sure if you ordered a Big Mac today and it was missing the burger, complaints would be forthcoming

              If I was feeling cynical, I’d say it was good business to release a ‘close but not quite the full deal’ version on platforms that take 30% and then direct people to the ‘full complete version’ on platforms that take less and charge a fiver more. 22 quid for a digital release on bandcamp is a disgrace but Digweed is well aware he’s a niche (in the grand scheme of things) with a fanatical following so people will want the full version whatever the additional cost.

              sales don’t look great so far. 144 copies on Bandcamp.

                Dubmick We’re too busy watching the Russian invasion unfold than gurning in our living rooms to power prog.

                    Though it seems quite a few on here are capable of both watching the Russian invasion unfold at the same time as lounging in their recliners to Diggers’ plodding pseudo-prog.

                      rhouses So there’s an “Extended Version” on iTunes with the 51 tracks that is unmixed (even though it mentions it’s mixed). And there’s a normal “DJ Mix” version with 48 tracks that is mixed.

                      Bit of a shit show if you ask me.

                        If any of you know the tune ID of this from Friday, you are at serious risk of a sexual advance.

                          NasserAlazzawi No clue. But i’ll keep my ear to the ground and let you know if I find something.

                            Someone clocked it on my feed. It’s actually a 12 year old track!

                            I pretty much went full space goat at this and I was sober.

                              NasserAlazzawi Met him at the bar once at Fabric, he seems sound…great warm up for Sasha.

                                Interested to hear folks thoughts now after a few days listening. How do you rate it and where does it sit in the order of the live in releases for you?

                                  I’ve still not listened to it and still don’t want to if that’s any help!!

                                    i couldn’t even get through it, 2 or 3 good tracks* on the first two parts was enough for me.

                                    *i’m sure it was better live and i may just not like what he’s playing.

                                    That Pastel Skies track is a stomper as is Haunted. An enjoyable live mix. Love those chunky moments

                                    Just not feeling it sadly. Would much rather re listen to SB’s Mixpub mix again.
