I saw him about four months ago, and I've seen him twice in the last two years. My verdict is that when he's playing growling futuristic tech house he's great, but both times I've seen him he's thrown in a lot of very boring boom-y big room techno. His style of set programming and mixing has changed enormously since the prog years as well. It's not the same smooth journey style any more, and I don't agree with some of the directions he goes in with his flow.
I've not seen him play the more melodic end of his sound, so I would cross your fingers for more of that and less of the techno, because in my opinion he's a shit techno DJ. |
Cheers.
I assume you're referring to Digweed? I listen to Transitions fairly regularly. There seem to be a couple of tracks on there that I like each week, but even on that radioshow alone, sometimes it just 'flows', and other time it seems like a mish-mash of random tech for the sake of being random.
Assuming you were talking about Digweed; Same with Sasha?

I;ve seen digweed about a dozen times since the late 90's.
My most memorable was probably when he played for 6 hours straight at Heaven (Charing Cross, London) around 2005. He was playing stuff that right on the cutting edge at the time, very "renaissance" and it flowed seamlessly between bristling moody tech house to atmospheric prog. It was quite a tour de force.
Last time I saw him was here in LA about 4 years ago at The Exchange LA and frankly it was a bit of a miss. Granted it was somewhat booked as a techno night and Claude Von Stroke was playing as well so the mix was a bit odd, but the problem was that venue is a big room and Diggers basically attempted to bang it out rather than have any semblance of flow.
His mixes in other places in recent years seem to be hit or miss. I'm always a little wary of judging a live set while not in the actual venue but typically it's not been the sort of thing that makes me wish I was there.
I'd still probably go if it's a good venue though.
As for Sasha, I wholeheartedly agree with Jack - I haven't heard a single set from him in recent years that made me think I was missing anything worth a ticket price.
The last time I saw him was Sound hollywood, he was over an hour late (who the fuck flies across country straight to a gig these days?) and although did his best, the club was forced to close 1:45mins in to the set so it didn't really get going, Was such a fucking shame as it's one of the more intimate venues I've ever seen him billed for [insert small basement room pic with having fag lit etc).
I can't quite tell whether OP's post means they're playing b2b, which I've only seen once and it was fucking amazing but it was nearly 20 years ago and I didn't really understand the magnitude then of what I was munting to.
If it is back to back, I probably couldn't avoid going.

This time, it would be separately.
Basically, this weekend is Ultra Japan where there is a Resistance stage. However, I don't wanna $130 to listen to a 90-minute set. So, the after party is at a club in town, so I thought about going.
Last year, Sasha & Digweed did B2B at Ultra, but the set length (90 minutes) didn't justify the cost.
Digweed did a 6 hour club set in Tokyo at Contact back at the end of April which I couldn't make 'cos I was out out of the country, but he released a 6-disc CD of the night, which I bought.
So it's by chance that Digweed is playing at this after-party, and that also by chance, Sasha is playing in October.
Markus Schulz is also back in Japan for the first time in 10 years (literally) at the end of the month, too!
