what style do sasha and digweed spin exactly??

people have so many interpretations on what progressive is can i have an example ot two of what you mean? ide greatly appreciate it!! thank you

ahhh progressive yes is indeed hard to define. but let's not turn this thread into that shall we?

sasha and digweed are regarded as two of the pioneering djs when it comes to progressive music. they're style has trance elements in it as well. just...go with it. hehe.

They don't stick to one genre...progressive house mainly, mixed up with deep house, tech-house, and deeper progressive breaks(Ashtrax, etc).

i think i get what your saying leaning more toward chill out trance than pounding stuff?

yeah that's about right. i would exactly say chill out though, some of their sets can get pretty energetic imo. they occasionally play bangin' sets...but not usually.

Sasha and Digweed

Buy Northern exposure, that's the best example of their style.
Sasha plays progressive trance, Digweed plays progressive house and trance.
Digweed is starting to veer towards more trippy stuff now aswell.
The two together play very powerful deep grooves. It's where house and trance collide and they select the best bits.
You won't be hearing much Tiesto/Armin/Yahel stuff but I'd advise going to www.cluboxed.co.uk and take a look at the tracklistings on their Global Underground CDs.

about sasha and digweed

Sasha and DIgweed play progressive, They mostly play progressive house but they do dabble into progressive trance. Also they play both styles in songs where you can't tell the difference and i call that progressive.

i dont really know or define the sasha digweed style in any way

they both have their own uniques sound because its hard to tell whether they are playing tech house, deep house, tribal, prog trance or simply breakbeat trance.

i just think they include whatever material is to their tastes and is set at around 125-135 BPM

Diggers

Sasha and Digweed are pretty much the definition of progressive house, IMO. Don't go to Northern Exposure 1 to see their style, its changed waaay too much since then (1995). Communicate (Fall 2000) is the closest thing to their present style. I've only heard Digweed live, and he's evolved some, even since that disc was released.

FYI, Armin Van Buuren has a track on Northern Exposure 2: Westcoast Edition. His first release, 'Blue Fear'...

"Masters of Progressive"

nuff sed.

ya its tru...from da GU experience Sasha and Diggers play much of da progressive scene...but Digeers house is more monky just like in GU014 HONG KONG...his sets r more different dat at times with Sasha..personally i like Sasha better..GU013 Ibiza blew me away..deep house and sleek trance..well it was good sort of deep trance with uplifting...but when they spin 2get, its much like progressive house and trance

Posted by lexiconavenue on May-29-2001 05:15:

s&d huh?? hehehe
both spin progressive house...although digweed tends to lean more towards the dark, tribal side and sasha tends to stick with the more trance-elements, occasional breaks motif...heheheh

neither is really too much uplifting trance, if any at all...i seen em thrice and everytime they've stuck to the 130bpm progressive tip. still legends in ma book tho :P
