This was my vinyl buying gold era.

I own so many of those on 12"!

Awesome set, and a fantastic period for progressive house.

Was digging through some oldies and I think Red Box 2002 DEFINITELY has to rank up there, as does the Arches in 2001 with that ridiculous Kinda Scary track

And we both try to erase the pinnacle of Electro from our minds as if it was just a bad dream Hypo !!

2000/2001 were probably the best 2 years for progressive. There are all the haters that say "you guys are stuck in the past" and other blah blah blah, but whatever. I can't see the stuff now is better than the stuff from then, esp the garbage (cough *electro*) that permeated during 2005/2006. I consider those years off years for John. Now would David Guetta just go away already???

I concur. This is my fav Digweed set of all time. This is the set that introduced me to livesets. Prior to then, I didn't know that you could download sets off the internet and what a great one to start! Others talk about his Beirut or Fabric set and whatnot but this set is by far the best IMO. Part 3 starts off with Shades and flawlessly mixes into Release. That's the best mixing I've ever heard. So smooth. Keep in mind he was still doing vinyl back then. That's really knowing his music.

I love this set so much that I wrote Diggers an email once asking him to release hours 5-8 since he mentioned on the broadcast that the set was 8hrs long. Unfortunately, the response I got was that he doesn't plan to release the remaining parts (but hey, he wrote back!). I've been to Club Yellow once before in 2002 (after learning about the club via this set) and seeing the club, I could just imagine being there for 8 hrs being lost in this set, esp when it gets really really dark around Shades. Drool.

BTW, part 3 ends with Luke Fair - White Island Heat. There is no ninth track and the first track of part 4 is White Island Heat.

Would also consider the following:

Fabric 2000
Fabric 2001 (shame it's only 1 part though)
Easter Bedrock @ Heaven 2008 (sublime build-up)
Zouk 2008

His Chicago Area2 set was his best live one imo. That or the last hour of his Dubai gig. I wasn't too 'into' the club yellow sets

I love the 2006 space set ... think the way it builds is a masterclass and still sounds fresh now.

Would be nice to get the other 4 hours of yellow .. Diggers needs to set up on soundcloud a la hernan.

That'll happen dude.

Honestly think we should get a poll going......My vote goes to 10.5, destined to become an all-time classic

If only we could get that last hour. I love the Pawnshop mixes too but 10.5 is gotta be my #1.
