All about the grift.

Looking fwd to someone turning up at Drinkies with their Ltd edition re-usable bedrock pint cup, complete with Bagpuss autograph

      Mad_Cyril I seriously doubt he’s making any money out of these with the amount of licensing involved. And production costs.

          elrobertos What’s odd, as pointed out by others here, is that these mixes are not really any different from what he does on his radio shows / podcasts or in clubs and festivals. You’d think it would be an opportunity to go off piste and do something a bit more creative. Disk of breaks, disk of throbbers, disk of vortex, or something. Maybe they’re just a good prop for the record label.

              Amps I’m assuming there are aimed at the bedrock fanboys who think buying these recreates being at the club for them. What I never understand is people who were at these nights who say they can’t wait to listen to reminisce about the night. I remember fuck all about a night I went to months ago!

                  RichM bedrock fanboys

                  I though that was us?

                    I do wish they’d both attempt another joint compilation.

                    Here’s a novel thought lads. Some people may want to purchase these kind of things, for various reasons. They may also enjoy listening to music from other sources such as Mixcloud, Transitions etc. I am pretty sure Digweed isn’t putting a gun to your head to buy this!

                    RichM yup. I was at London in 2012. I recall very little. I still like the mix though.

                    The apple compiled and mixed are more breaks and off piste. I like them

                      Do rather miss GU and Renaissance mixes.

                      Would like a new Northern Expo mix, but it’ll never happen!

                      I’ve got all of his Live Ins, but like a lot of you I’ve not enjoyed them that much. They’re just ok, with exception of Tokyo, Toronto and Montreal (a bit of beast!).

                      But the rest I can hardly remember, versus Renaissance 2, for example!

                      Live in Slovenia was truly horrid, while we’re chatting.

                      Hopefully the Live In series will end on a high though!

                      🙂

                        Cordoba, both London mixes, the 9 disc Montreal release and one of the Brooklyn ones are the best ones. The rest I agree are very forgettable. Slovenia was just not for me, and I couldn’t get into Tokyo at all.

                        The 9 disc Montreal is a fantastic mix

                          gcw 9 disc Montreal

                          Fuck that! 😆 I like a long mix as much as the next man, but, that can fuck off.

                            PeterSpadang slovenia is a grower. I mean it’s not a slow starter and hits you in the balls right from the off, but actually i quite like it after a few listens.

                                Sorry I really really don’t like it. And I have tried, believe me.

                                Slovenia is easily the worst of the Live In series, so I guess it’s probably Sir John’s weakest all round. Even his Fabric is (a bit) better!

                                  Homegrove is this fable still being trotted out? Not a chance in hell John is doing all this JUST FOR THE FANS. He hates us all and is probably making a small fortune out of sales in Buenos Aires alone.

                                      LT42 no way are these selling that many copies. The first patch on the Bedrock-store is in the hundreds.

                                        still going with the CD approach is almost impressive. I’m not sure what box in the attic my cd player is.

                                        I really only like South Beach one
                                        Montreal is great for first 3 discs, but then it gets mediocre pretty fast
                                        I don’t remember Toronto and NYC tracks at all
                                        Miami somewhere in between of average and waste of money

                                        a month later

                                        Junodownload has it a bit cheaper than Bandcamp, but of course Bandcamp has unlimited download and their own streaming app. Tidal only seems to have the singles, it’s not on Spotify in any capacity yet. Went with Juno, and will just spread it across two hard drives. Aiff download will take awhile. 😀
