To end all the debate here, and put it simply Dj's like Sasha, Digweed, and Tenaglia are a Dj's Dj's. Do ya know what I mean, you either have to be a Dj or a really advanced music lover/clubber to understand and appreciate what their doing behind the decks. They take you on the most incredible journeys without droping anthemns every other track. Not to mention most of the tracks they play are their own remixes made specially for them. Thats why when you hear them live tracks sound famliar but you can never find that exact mix when you shop around for it.
These guys never bend their style to suite a particular crowd, they bring the crowd to them, and thats the true magic behind being a Dj, and theres no one better than Sasha and Digweed at doing this, they blend progressive house and progressive trance together with seamless perfection.
And as someone stated earlier please don't ever mention Oakie in the same thread as Sasha and digweed, or even Tiesto and AVB for that matter. Oakie decent remxier, crap Dj!!

that's a very interesting point eugene, i still consider those "dance" djs you call it to be trance.
just the dutch trance sound, which is more commercial = easily promotable and very catchy.
armin, tiesto, ferry, etc.
anyways i'll leave it at, i like digweed, he's incredibly skilled and can throw down some excellent stuff.

If more DJs did this, the club would be a happier place, well, atleast I would be

but Digweed and Sasha are too slow and that is a turnoff.

First of all Digweed doesn't play trance (live). 2nd of all S&D only play together at Twilo...no where else. U can't compare their cds to live. The GU's are made w/pro tools.
Digweed is the best mixer in the industry. GU 19 is brilliant, I think its 1 of best compliations of the year. Digweed is a great DJ but his track selection is too slow for me & sometimes boring & montonous. I can't dance to 122 bmp but his set @ Massive is awesome! Hard...fast but he doesn't play like that at Twilo.
a Digweed set is like a 7 layer cake. He layers & builds...its like foreplay. Then around 6 am he starts dropping bombs...
Every month he delivers a fresh set...w/up front tunes. He constantly pushes the envelope. Digweed is very popular in NYC...everyone is riding the prog house bandwagon.

if ya ask me
digweed, tenaglia, sasha, cox, etc developed what currently is the progressive scene.. without them i don't htink the scene would be as developed as it is now
they used to break barriers with music..

I don't think Carl Cox is progressive at all. His sets are banging from the first record to the last. He doesn't really build or layer like Digweed, Howells, or Tenaglia.

Twilo is not the only place Sasha and Digweed play together. In the UK they play together loads especially for big events...
