  • The Weekly Transitions Thread

This Transitions 1000 has become an absolute train wreck, the special guest for the event turned out to be Danny Howells, in a different room. A Sasha & Digweed set for Transitions would have generated excitement, ok, so that isn’t going to happen, so then it’s just Digweed, on his own. Ok , fine, not content with that, he takes a massive sledgehammer to it by getting bellends to add their own voice overs to it “hi everybody, my names Neale, from Ireland, I’m a top drawer sycophant and have a special group of weirdos on Facebook, been seeing our boys since the Edge days, I love them both and have clay models of them on my shrine” all done to the background sound of Rumble Fish.

Cankles-McJeggings

Another odd tittle, sometimes it’s Tenaglia, others it’s Garnier, sometimes Francois K. Usually given to anyone that can make Coxy (not that hard), or Digweed (probably more difficult) dance at the bar at the WMC.

    Listening to 999 now. That Lucia o track is an abomination. I presume it sounds better in a big room.

    Sounds totally out of place in the mix to me.

    Didnt like any of it bar one track. The Omer Tater remix. Reaffirming Diggers clubs sets are definitely not my bag. So much better DJ playing thought out varied mixes like bunkers.
    Howells stuff just completely uninterests me.

    I listend to one bunker and that was enough for me….gave up on Uncle John after the first Transistions CD. There’s been a few winners here and there, but that fanbase (mostly sausage) Jesus H.

      Some of the deep house bunkers were great. Its when it all goes sebia/ bedrock label I can’t be doing with it. Ear bleed.
      As for the fan base. …

      • Dan replied to this.

        Dan yeah it’s the Lord John fan brigade it’s a bit much, some of the bunkers were good, seen him at Glastonbury 19 on my the Thursday night and he was excellent but not really into the sound he’s playing, framework etc

            Well let’s see what T1000 brings, it was a class night littered with top tunes and quality mixing throughout

            Most djs have nauseating fans, look at Dixon

            Heno correct if I am wrong, but Digweed hasn’t played Framewerk in any of his recent live sets. He was excellent at Bedrock the other week.

                alistair ah he’s still well capable and all just don’t really like the bedrock stuff the last while.

                    The bedrock stuff just sounds like cheesy accessible prog to me. I always give the live mixes at least one listen and they all start off ok and descend into racket quite quickly. He never used to be like that. Transitions weeks are hit and miss, can’t please all of the people all of the time but in general it does the same. Starts off well. Each to their own.

                    You’re one of his fan boys though.

                      He knows his market. Hence why his sound is for the South Americans and clattery EDM lite with those wobbly Juno breakdowns etc. Utter tosh IMO but Im not going out clubbing anymore so why try and hone his sound to the likes of me.

                      His Bunkers were brilliant and I still reckon he should do those types of gigs for the oldies once in a while. I have tickets for the Hackney gig so maybe that will be a bit like the Bunkers

                        Ditto. But he wouldn’t even tempt me out playing what he does. If he played bunkeresque stuff I’d be definitely having a sniff now and again.

                          I don’t understand why when he had such amazing feedback on these he hasn’t tried to emulate it in a club. Don’t have to be old to see or appreciate the difference. Basically playing the stuff he likes.

                            Heno like Dan says, his live mixing is so good, he makes every track sound markedly better than it does separately. Also played his fair share of classics the other week.

                                Dan I listend to one bunker and that was enough for me

                                Definitely shouldn’t have done that. You missed some pure quality at times.

                                  alistair like Dan says, his live mixing is so good, he makes every track sound markedly better than it does separately.

                                  Haha this is gold. You’re talking to people like you’re the only person ever to have seen him or privy to this and no one else has noticed. FFS.
                                  He’s been doing this since the early 90s if you hadn’t realised. You haven’t just discovered him.
                                  Next you’ll be telling us Sasha is mixing in key.
