What is John Digweed's Best Mix CD?

I just really started getting into John Digweed's stuff. I was bored so I bought Transitions Vol. I and on the most part I've enjoyed it. A lot of outstanding tracks, a few okays here and there and maybe 2 or 3 yawner tracks IMO. I much prefer Sasha over Digweed but I'm guessing he's done better work. Not a huge fan of his Transitions show, I only really like 2 or 3 tracks he drops the whole hour, but I'm buying Transitions Vol. II for sure.

What are his best Mix CD's, I know there's MII and Fabric 20, which ones should I check out.

Also, I say Sasha & John Digweed - Renaissance The Mix Collection 10th Anniversary Edition 3 CD's. Sounds really good, is this just all their Northern Exposure CD's in one. Is it any good? and should I check it out. Any help would be nice.

Thanks

The Renaissance mixes and the Northern Exposure CDs are totally different things. I don't have the Renaissance mixes, but the Northern Exposures are all pretty good; the first one is probably my favorite. My favorite mix comp that Digweed has done would probably be Global Underground 14: Hong Kong. I like all of his GUs, though.

He's one of my favorite DJs all around. I've only seen him live once, but he didn't disappoint.

If we're talking solo, Bedrock followed by Los Angeles.

...followed by LA 019.

My favorite is his Global Underground: Hong Kong mix. Its actually one of the first mixes I've even bought as I was getting in the whole EDM genre. I honestly it was boring at first, but now I think its the shit!

Hong Kong and Bedrock.

Dohn Digweed - Journeys By DJ.

Classic, was listening to this when most of you were still twitches in your dads nutsacks.

(Sorry - just wanted an excuse to use that line....)

bedrock. but if you count S&D, then definitely northern exposure 1 or 2 (east coast). coincidentally, i found my old copy of bedrock recently and i've been hammering it in the car for the last week or so

gu: los angeles

His fabric is amazing but it takes some time to grow on you before u find that it is brilliant. Otherwise gu 19, damn thats some deep dark shit.

Tie between Hong Kong and Bedrock.

Hong Kong and MMII

Posted by MikeJones on Dec-26-2006 14:03:

omg i cant believe nobody mentioned Stark Raving Mad.

I think none of his other CDs come close to Stark Raving Mad...And yes, i have every GU by Digweed. Bro, look it up online--You won't be disapointed. It seems like not alot of people heard the CD....Banginnn dark heavy tracks...SRM FTW no doubt.

Negatory. CD2 for Voyager - Time Travel. Good God it's such an incredible tune.

CD 1 for Raff N' Freddy - Listen and C12 - Judy

edit // But you're right, Voyager - Time Travel is fucking hot!

Yes

I love my copy of Slacker - Flying. I need to get my hands on Sandra Collins - Flutterby and Time Travel. The mix into Time Travel is just NASTY on the cd.

As for the original question

Bedrock is Digweed's best cd compilation. Disc 1 shows his more grooving/housey side while Disc 2 shows a build into in the peak time progressive/trancey side of things.

Close behind are Hong Kong and Los Angeles which are exceptional global undergounds. I really enjoy the Sydney GU as well.

I'm not including Northern Exposure 3 or Communicate because they're done with Sasha. They are both awesome as well

MMII was one of my first ever albums, and, perhaps not coincidentally, is still my favorite Digweed effort.

Definitely agree with this, I still like GU 19 more though. Especially disc 2, I've had that on repeat in the car for the last few months. The Voyager remix of Aria - One is just rediculously good...
