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.
The Weekly Transitions Thread
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. …
Cankles-McJeggings I still admire his mixing ability….prob the best in the business.
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
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.
alistair 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.
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
IndustryStandard 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.
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.

IndustryStandard His Bunkers were brilliant
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.
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.
- Edited
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.
Cankles-McJeggings Hardly, first saw Sasha at Up Yer Ronson for the 12 nights of summer. Pity you’re so jaundiced

Dan Was that along the sea front upstairs? Went to a NYE gig there in the 90s and someone came in with tear gas ……keep it classy !

It’s not jaundice it’s disappointment and it doesn’t matter how many classics are in there when it’s squashed between tripe.
IndustryStandard About right for Clacton!
Eth-eth-eth, eth eth-eth… Boutros Boutros Ghali
BlainSA ……….Chris Waddle
Cankles-McJeggings It’s not jaundice it’s disappointment
Gotta try this at work at least once this week 
BlainSA prog house Wayne (or whatever he calls himself) is going to cream himself over this.

“Dr I think my child has jaundice”. “That’s not jaundice that’s disappointment”.
Get a bucket ready for Simon R’s.
It’s going to be Coxy’s set from Brighton & Suicide Sports Club exclusive mix.
SM001 we any closer to ID’ing this yet? Sounds big. Reckon it might be on ‘Futuro’?
- Edited
ScottBailey No idea. Sounds too big/peak time for the Futuro mix but who knows.
7 days later
The Howells guest mix from last week is really good
ScottBailey Spencer Brown & Mat Zo - ‘Spun Day’ on ‘Futuro’
SM001 bosh! How did I miss that?! Thought I’d gone through all the tracks on Beatport the other day and thought most were jank. What a banger!
- Edited
SM001 listening to both their back catalogues, how the fook have these two come up with such a monster of a track?! Confuddled!
- Edited
ScottBailey Rate Spencer Brown. His latest EP is good and he played a cracking little set just before Digweed came on at Studio 338
He was ace!
YAP = Now we are talking.

Cankles-McJeggings haven’t heard them in ages. Cracking 60 mins that
