don't post much here either, but this hour of fcuking vortex made me do so. O_O

amazing music, great mixing and track selection, too bad his mix cds don't even touch that vibe, let alone live experience.

I've listened to this set everyday since it came out and it honestly is getting better every time. It's fucking relentless man and that selway track @ 34 minutes is unreal. It' s definitely a head thumper the whole way through. I can only imagine what a magical night in Amnesia it was. This is the shit I want to hear him play. I say leave the techno+minimal stuff for others to play, but that just my opinion.

Seconded. I cannot stop listening to this either. Its amazing to a point where it just fucks with your head.

Yes Janky well said. As husband anf father of 3 kids I agree. If anything today I have a stronger passion for the music now than a decade ago. I still like the dark Digweed but it was refreshing to hear this from him no blippity-bloppity sounds just hammering the dancefloor with good upbeat prog almost sounde more like Sasha from a few years ago to me!

It's been a while since I've posted on here, but I wanted to toss in my two cents for how much I've enjoyed this set over the past week. I haven't caught Diggers out live since April of 2005 in Atlanta, but the man is obviously better than ever.

Thanks for posting this mix. Sick sick music all the way through.

There many Digweed fans here that are getting older. We don't party like we used to and, like myself, we just don't go out anymore. We don't even have time to post on messageboards anymore. But, we still love the music and remember what it's like to listen to badass music. I can tell you, without doubt, that this set is probably the closest anyone here will come to knowing what it's like it to have Digweed absolutely annihilate the dancefloor. Music like this was the norm between 1999 and 2001 at Twilo. The last Friday of each month my friends and I would line it up on West 27th in New York and while most of the folks that were at Twilo were there to see Sasha, pick up a girl, be seen or get fucked off their face, the true diehards lurked on the pyramid steps waiting for that 4:30am slot to arrive. The drunks would tire out and head home, the dancefloor would allow you to find your way underneath the giant disco ball and when Sasha got done with his first set on the decks Digweed would take the decks again for an hour and a half of the best fucking music you ever heard in your life (even though you thought the same thing last month). This was the peak time mayhem we paid to hear and a proper peak isn't felt unless there's the chugging progressive house beforehand and a proper peak isn't just about banging out tracks. In this Amnesia set and when he had a residency at Twilo, Digweed would work the levels up to an enormous crowd pleaser of a track and then he'd just take the music to the next level where you couldn't imagine the music could go. He'd throw in samples here and there and layer progressive house on top of tech-house to provide an incessant barrage of beats and then when the time was ready he'd unleash the track that drove the dancefloor nuts. Everyone would either be literally bouncing up and down or dancing like monkeys in heat. The place was absolutely oscillating - from the lights to the Phazon sound to Digweed not showing a single damn emotion on the decks - it was perfect harmony in a sea of electricity. It was the part of the night you waited 5 hours to hear and it was pure Digweed. Parties becomes less important, people get married (some have kids), jobs matter more but the music never dies and neither do the memories. If you were at this party in Ibiza I hoped you fucked that shit up because this is some god damn amazing music.

This is a brilliant set; Digweed delivers once again for the Essential Mix. The mix from the Josh Wink tune into the following track is exactly why I listen to dance music these days: surging brilliance. Can't wait for the Easter Bedrock mix
