Re: John Digweed - Live in Cordoba

Chunky doesn't count it as a real mix cd if it only has tracks Diggers signed himself.

Re: John Digweed - Live in Cordoba

A mix CD is a bunch of tracks the DJ has decided to put into their mix.

Hernan's [ms] mix was all music that involved Sudbeat or himself - its fantastic, just as Structures is.

Great music is great music, end of.

No its more of a concept CD and if you look at a lot of them they don't tend to make good CD's. Pappa'a Choo Choo, Cass's Prologue along with many others the concept is usually to constraint. Both CD's them artists where nowhere near as good as the other CD's they put out around the same time that weren't stuck to tracks specifically tied to one label. Sasha's ivolver is another example. His concept was just remixing every track just for the sake it, not really caring whether he makes is better or not. I'm not also going to rely on John Digweed to tell me what great music is either. Bedrock have put out some great mixes & tracks, they've also put out some terrible one as well.

Sorry but i cant agree with that statement.. I think that a bunch of tracks the DJ has decided to put into their mix means nothing more than just a PROMO MIX..Mix CD is something MORE..It has to be something SPECIAL.,UNIQUE,CUTTING AGE or whatever you like to call it..Thats why a live mix,released on a cd compilation is wrong..There is no concept,no flow,no unique transitions..its just another live mix out there..the only thing is,you have to buy it..WHY??

Re: John Digweed - Live in Cordoba

TBH I always thought of those mixes as promos for Bedrock label.

Re: John Digweed - Live in Cordoba

I'v disc one a few listens now and can't get into it. But i'm loving disc two, though it leaves you wanting more!

Re: John Digweed - Live in Cordoba

Is Diggers really that hard up for cash????

He played the gig and got paid well for it, he obviously had one hell of a night, the night was was so good that wanted to share the whole experience with like minded people.

Except you have to pay for it.

When I heard about the release and the story behind it, the very first thing that came mind was that is was a cash grab, plain and simple. Good for Digweed and if that's the way he want to do business the so be it. Who am I/we to tell him otherwise?

And for those who don't see it that way or don't mind, then I really do hope that the purchase was worth it for you.

I've bought Diggers stuff in the past but I'm not all interested in purchasing anymore. This whole deal has left a real bad taste in my mouth and am really dissapointed that he went this way.

Just hope that Hernan doesn't see it as a good thing and decide to do the same.


And on a positive note, I simply love the discussion that's being had in this thread, the real passion and ideas for great music is a breath of fresh air. This thread is one of the better ones we've had in a while.

Re: John Digweed - Live in Cordoba

Which is the discussion here ?

The quality or why this set became a compilation?


I think this is the main reason



John:

Wow, what can I say about this party in Cordoba earlier this year to do it justice? The crowds in Argentina never disappoint and are always up for a great night but this party took things to a whole new level for me. I played for over 5 hours and really didn't want to stop, as I was having so much fun. Fortunately I recorded the set and I hope that this live cd helps to capture some of the energy from such an amazing party.

Plus,.

I could not be in cordoba, but these should be the first two hours
or 3-4 hours. so it is logical that the first cd sounds a bit more housey
and the second a little more progressive or techy or whatever.
Most live sets starts This Way, not all,
but, taking the idea of being transformed
into a compilation in the future, is logic.

You're not interested in purchasing because these days a lot of DJs put shitloads of sets available for free, making all of us spoiled. Nobody buys mix cds anymore because of the same reason. Digweed chooses not to do that and people complain?! I don't get it.

Re: John Digweed - Live in Cordoba

^ yeah but digweed didnt put out a mix cd, he put out a live set like other dj's do but the difference is that it wasnt free, and even tho it was released for a price, it wasnt the expected quality...ive personally travelled and put lots of money just to go see digweed live many times, so its not the money its what we get for it, again i said ill be willing to pay even $100 for a good 3-4 hrs from vagabond or some banger set...but give me that oooof moment is all im asking for, esp when were talking abt diggs here which we all know him for these moments and not the smooth stuff, so give us that and not the first 2hrs

and this is not complaining eventho anyone is allowed to complain esp when ur paying, dosent mean that u liked it then everyone else shud or just not say anything about it if they didnt....many of the people "complaining" are some of the most digweed fans ive seen sooo good for u for being too nice

if digweed had put out a well thought mix cd i think was gonna be much better than this and much worth than the first 2hrs of a set, he could have left that for transitions, and the free live sets lately on transitions has beeeen soo much better than this

I see where you are coming from to a point, but if a DJ gives out a live set for free the artists featured on the mix haven't been paid or asked their permission to have their tracks given away. Some might call it exposure others theft.

At the end of the day it doesn't,t mater if its recorded live or not, just whether its good or not.

Re: John Digweed - Live in Cordoba

I see more and more people are getting disappointed with Cordoba live mix on sale. John have recently said he charges only for the travel, hi is djing is for free. He should have said he's playing a live gig for free but charges for the recording... I don't get it - years ago he used to release full and up-to-date sets, now he charges for mediocre recent live mixes and airs (if airs...) some 2-years expired gigs.

When was that? I don't remember him releasing any sets himself other than his radio mixes. Some club promotors recorded some of his sets and shared them on the Internet a few years later but that about it.
