John Digweed Biog

If you’re not an avid follower of dance music but are tuned into popular

culture at all you’ve likely experienced music touched by the hands

of John Digweed.* Originally hailing from England but having clearly

arrived on the global scene well over a decade ago John has long since

cemented his name in the pages of dance music history.* His list of

achievements is groundbreaking to say the least.* Highlights of which

would be the first proper dj mix compilation (“The Mix Collection”, done

with Sasha), being the first British dj to hold a residency at what was

then the world’s most well known club in NYC (Twilo, also with Sasha)

as well as having remixed music by William Orbit, Underworld, Quincy

Jones, Mr Fogg and New Order.

John Digweed is a DJ's DJ.* The beauty of what he does lies in just how

different he really is from his contemporaries.* From his early beginnings

in Hastings, England at the age of 15 in the blossoming scene of acid

house to the apex of *the international dj'ing* world he has created

and maintained a level of integrity that is the benchmark for both dj’s

and producers globally.* In fact, he has reached the very top of his

profession, being voted #1 in a voter's poll.*John Digweed has become

the people’s choice while maintaining his longstanding presence in

underground dance culture. His popularity as both a dj and a person

seems to have no limits, but his efforts transcend dj'ing alone, he is as

much a producer and promoter.* His moniker “Bedrock” is actually three

things: a record label, a promotions company and a studio production

partnership with Nick Muir. His management and creative direction

for the Bedrock record label spans over 12 years with the vision and

creative insight to seek out mixes and remixes from the worlds best

producers . To have a record released on Bedrock serves as the global

stamp of production quality, ingenuity and integrity for underground

producers worldwide.* In fact, the name John Digweed is synonymous

with those very qualities.* From the nights he has either created or

been a part of (Bedrock, Northern Exposure) to his world renowned mix

cd's (Renaissance, GU, Northern Exposure, Transitions and Bedrock

compilation album`s 10 ,11 12 and Structures) he has consistently

produced characteristic products that stay in demand, himself included.

As one half of Bedrock the production duo he has landed two tracks in

the top 40 (“Heaven Scent” and “For What You Dream Of”) the latter

of which made it into the hit movie “Trainspotting”. He has even tried

a bit of acting himself ("Groove").* He and Nick Muir as Bedrock the

production team also scored a Hollywood film (“Stark Raving Mad”) as

well as the animated release of “Spider-Man” for Sony / MTV.* He’s

toured every corner of the planet including bus tours in the USA (Delta

Heavy and Area 2 (with David Bowie and Moby) ,*The*legendary Big

Beach Boutique in Brighton with Fatboy slim had him gladly performing

to 250,000 and most recently selling out the O2 Brixton Academy for

His Transitions Radio show is now it`s 10th year and is still one of

the most successful dance music shows, being broadcast to over 30

countries across the world to a weekly audience of over 12 million.

As a person John's lack of pretense is enveloped in imagination and

invention. Good reason for John being one of the most respected,

analyzed and imitated dj's in the world.* Digweed is both solid and

durable with unyielding precision.* His sinuous dj'ing and production

sound has become its own convincing dance ethic.* He is centered to

the principles of life, living and friends in such a way that he generates

an aura of self-explanatory excitement and enthusiasm.** Without heroic

pretensions his sets are filled with moodiness and musical mystery but

held down with a punchy distinctiveness and earthly rhythm. Always

emanating a sense of boundlessness he overlaps dream events that

spill into reality with an enormous certainty.

The ability to edit your post expires a day or two after you initially post.

So it's on in Crawdaddy? Is that the part that Trentemoller played in a couple of months ago?

Is that the biggest part of the tripod?
