John Digweed - 28-Jul-05 01:39 AM
What can you say about Digweed that hasn't been said already? The man has been around the block more than a few times and ages like a great wine. The older, Rennaisance era material was inspirational to people around the planet. Sets from that era still sound fantastic. Then he had a dark and moody era touching on some epic tribal house. Then as if to completely deny his past he starts hammering those phenomenal Kompakt tracks. Hands down, one of the best deejays period. He's got an ear for records that is uncanny, and when you throw in his mixing skills it's clear why his name is synonomous with excellent electronic music.

Solid mix from Swayzak with three distinct parts. That's not to say the mixing is poor either. Starts out with some of the best tech house I've heard in a long time. Moves into some minimal vocal electro about the Royksopp remix of What Does it Feel Like and finishs off with some funkier electro after the genius that is LCD Soundsystem. Again, it's a great mix and one that's opened many doors for me.

Very eclectic album. Between the hip-hop you'd expect, lies the neo-folk of James Yorkston, jazz-pop of Tom Scott, pop-rock of The Village Callers. I think someone made a mistake and should have labeled this as something off the AnotherLateNite series. It starts off pretty decent, and I really liked the James Yorkston track, and I was able to jump to the Lords of the Underground, but it just got messy after that. I start to get over the cheesy 60's pop-rock, back into really classy hip-hop cuts again, and the misplaced pop-rock kicks in again. Lot's of really good singles, no doubt about it, but as a whole, this thing falls apart for me.

This album is unreal. Sampling FM-Radio, a la Quebec, there is definetly an element of art to it all, while still remaining funky. The way the samples are pieced together, and amalgamated together with groovy bass lines hook you instantly. Should be a corner stone album for anyone, whether you like tech-house or not. Simply phenomenal

This is just another fantastic quality release from the guys at fabric. It's quite the downbeat and chilled album, esspecially for the first half. Quality records spun one after another and some nice mixing helpin the journey along. I was esspecially impressed with the 'hrts' track, and the nice tweakin done. Only a couple seconds but well worth it. Album gradually builds up until the rjd2 track, where some nice drum breaks are present, and its quality house music from then on it. Ahh, this is what music is all about.
