But the majority of the set is go no where type prog but then once he feels he has weeded out all the non fans he lets it all out and unleashes his fury. But in a festival setting like when I saw him at Halloween he gets straight to the point and just bangs it out. Def. worth seeing.
I was thinking about older DJ's like Sasha and Digweed and Im sure the same goes for Oakenfold and Van Dyk and Tiesto. There is no more drive to be pushing themselves and striving for better. They made it and will do what they have always done and so they will never be as good as they used to be because they have lost that desire to be the best. A lot of these smaller DJ/ PRoducers that are coming up have this drive and are giving the EDM scene is progress. They want to be noticed and they want to be heard. So they are being innovative. While its sad to admit it but i feel like Sasha, Digweed and all the other greats have lost this drive which is essential to staying on top of their game.

Digweed seems more invested these days in his original productions/remixes, and with promoting the Bedrock brand. There hasn't been an additional installment in the 'Transitions' series for nearly two years now, but he's been collaborating quite regularly with Nick Muir lately, and seems to have really invested quite a bit of energy in revitalizing the Bedrock label (a far cry from the nothingness that was going on with the Bedrock a few years back).

Thank you for your feedback guys, i've listened to some actual sets and i feel that the quote "Progressive is like sex without orgasm, builds builds but goes nowhere" can apply to this, i'm sure that after an hour i would become bored of this... what a pity. Now the decission is if it is worth going just to see Richie or not... the line up includes 2Manydjs which i don't know very much about them but i think they're mainstreamish and indie and then i'd better avoid them to keep the floor clean of vomit.

Ok wait, Digweed, Richie Hawtin, and 2ManyDj's... yet you're asking if you should go or not??? :eyes:
YES YOU SHOULD GO!!

if you do the opposite of everything djryan says, you will lead a very healthy life with much sexual activity.

I just can't imagine not being there...

why don't you imagine yourself a gun...then throw it off of a cliff and jump off to see if you can't beat it to the bottom.
