John Digweed - Live in Cordoba

Re: John Digweed - Live in Cordoba

Just read this bit..... I haven't heard a Sasha set in ages..... would be interested in knowing which quality set he has released recently??

in 2010 he gave us MOS and fabric, in 2011 womb & panorama bar....
3-4 hrs each set in hq. quality over quantity, besides i much prefer these sets than a weekly radioshow

Re: John Digweed - Live in Cordoba

C'mon ... Diggers has shared music 52 weeks a year for the past 12 years. Naturally he's got a right to decide what he releases and to have the level of control he desires.

The CD marketplace has changed ... he's consolidated his label and this benefits the artists/producers involved .. and the label which flourishes.

Also, while some people like things pumped up & banging ... will the non [ms] crowd appreciate this ?

Fact is, its one thing being in a club after a few drinks (or more) and a set it built to destroy mode with you're going nuts .... it's a far more different situation at home putting a CD on at home in the afternoon.

Re: John Digweed - Live in Cordoba

Re: John Digweed - Live in Cordoba

thats what is kool about sasha ever so often he will release lengthy 320 kb sets w/o flinching.

Re: John Digweed - Live in Cordoba

^^^all great ideas, i just wish there was someway he would be able to release the real stuff on a live cd for purchase. copyright nonsense baffles me.

to tell u guys the truth, after listening to the mini mix i knew i wasn't gonna buy this.

he does still often have great releases on his label though, guy j elements was just phenomenal, and i loved all his structures

Re: John Digweed - Live in Cordoba

Maybe he should just set aside some time and release a proper 2 or 3 CD studio mix. Those seldom disappoint. A new Renaissance or Transitions or even Balance from him would be stellar.

Re: John Digweed - Live in Cordoba

cordoba set is a big disappoint...

tbh if he would have released it for free on transitions i would have been unhappy with it, now charging people for it is a whole new level of disappointment....

seriously most people are willing to pay even more but give us quality and what we actually need and thats def not the first 2hrs, id like to see him release vagabond from 2010 or 11 and thats after 3hrs in and up...

Re: John Digweed - Live in Cordoba

On another note, i have recently been enjoying the 3hr circus set (thanks to sbando), the 3rd hour is phenomenal.

Me too... 2nd hour in and it gets me going

Re: John Digweed - Live in Cordoba

Plenty of love for disc 1 on this release, which is understandable, but not many comments about disc 2?
Could this be cos it is a little bit underwhwhelming? After a few listens i find that the first 8 tracks are a bit of a dullathon, doesn't really kick off til Alljacks - Carlita. Suspect this might be a grower, like a lot of diggers mixes

Re: John Digweed - Live in Cordoba

he will never release those special sets in the peak hours like at vagabond. which sort of sux. u have to go see him live.

like the one chap said most of the live sets are a bit of a cock tease, lol. but i get what he means, u are never going to be fulfilled. never a high quality recording. that 2010 beruit has great tracks but the audio is not real good.

thats what is kool about sasha ever so often he will release lengthy 320 kb sets w/o flinching.

Re: John Digweed - Live in Cordoba

probably the most memorable 3 sets of his that gets me off from start to finish would be Yellow Tokyo, Beirut and the one from Pawn Shop .. and i'm not saying that the tunes he plays these days are crap or i don't like the direction that he is going .. they are still ace tunes and he is still class with what he does but it is at which point of the set/night that's being released that irks me ... sometimes it just feels like he's dangling a carrot in front of all of us and laughing at us because we know there's more but he's not going to give it to us

I partially agree with you.. after what i witnessed/heard @ Vagabond back in March its very hard to listen to this, because you just know there was soo much more to it...

Still a great mix, I've been listening to it for a week now.. liking cd1 more.

Re: John Digweed - Live in Cordoba

The B 018 set from Sep 2010 is pretty tasty too.

Yep i meant this one, although probably nothing beats the 2004 edition.

Re: John Digweed - Live in Cordoba

Re: John Digweed - Live in Cordoba

At a credit-crunch friendly £10.99 I hope there are similar future releases, and feel its great to see a label growing strong and putting out this music, with a range of packages incl. vinyl. I'm sure you can e-bay your copy in a few months if it doesn't grow on you.

I'm a City trader, I eat credit crunch for every breakfast And pls believe me Simon never ever will I sell any of my Digweed CDs... Instead I happen to consider buying Bedrock
