could be, i remember a bunch of very familiar and dubbed down so to say melodies when he was going thru a progressive part of the set. really it was up and down, in a good way. he'll get you groovin with some prog and then destroy you with the hard beats, and so forth. he was absolutely phenomenal.
there was finally a good remix of chab - closer to me that john played as well, and i was very very happy to hear it :D |

I'm so glad I decided to go last minute as usual. I got there around 12 and as I joined the line some guy walked up and offered his $25 ticket to me. It was $40 at the door, I wasn't going to refuse :) So, the night started out pretty well. Hung out in the front room with TAs dancing and mingling. Adam Green was dropping some groovy tunes, great way to get the night started.
JD came on around 2. He got off to a very slow start. I wasn't really digging it at first because I'm all about the hard thumping bassline and I couldn't wait. Even though the main room wasn't packed I got kicked, pushed and my feet stepped on many times. The crowd seemed very antsy and moved around a lot. So I decided to chill in the front room or in the smoking area until the music was more to my liking.
3am rolls around and the music starts sounding wayyy better. Time to hit the dance floor. As others had mentioned JD's set was very techy with lots of electro sounds. I couldn't be happier. And those hard pounding basslines... woohoo! :D :D :D Next thing I know it's 6:20 and JD is off the decks. Time goes by fast when you're having fun!
Good seeing so many smiley faces last night. Ivan, hope you enjoyed your first live JD performance. Great chilling with you and soon to be a TA, Jen. LKD, MaxQ, GQ Styles & co, great seeing you guys on the dancing floor. Heidi, Aaron and Jeff, good seeing you guys in the front room, where did you go to after that? Neetha, big surprise seeing you, didn’t know you were coming down. Btw newr, I hope you’re not reading this review thread because you must be kicking yourself right about now. : ) Big up to Margs, Tristan, b4k-oz, both Seans’, Cecilia, Kevin, Jason and everyone else who joined in giving the dance floor a good pounding courtesy of Mr. John Digweed.
Long live techy-electro sounds !!! :toocool: |

Some guy with a pony tail towards the front of the stage had some serious disgusting BO...I mean stink (even stink bait) wudn't want to be near this dood. The smell actually made me upchuk. I have never experienced that b4... I silently tossed my cookie-oh's in the bathroom...hope to god no1 realized it :o :o :o :eek: :nervous:

imHo, dunno where claims are coming from.
I thought Digweed spun a REALLY good set.
Ya he lacks any energy behind the decks, but his
mixing/track selection had me in my groove all night:D
Met 10 or so TA's for the first time.
I remember DJ Science - too cool - Max Q, joinT, and more... |
