John Digweed!

Transitions, John's weekly 2 hour radio show, features an hour of Digweed in the mix followed by a hosted hour of another producer. His choices reflect his albums: Maetrik, Nick Warren, and Sei A have made recent appearances on all his latest productions.

A little taste of 'Eye Of The Storm,' a documentary by Pablo Casacuberta of John's last tour of South America, included in John's July release of double album, Structures. 

The album is a mix of techno, tech house, progressive house, deep house, chill out, breaks and dj tools (samples, beats, intros, acapellas, etc that tend to be short and simple). 

I would even describe parts of it as minimal and abstract: a very modernist approach Digweed style, aka chill, mellow, and continuously smooth. The tracks and entire compilation really do wrap around the very title. As a structural composition, this work does not grant immediate satisfaction, but is an acquired listen. This is John's 25th album: thus you can imagine the real appreciation lies in the subtleties and nuances in his progressions.  

Because this is meant to be listened to as an album, here are a couple of my favorite tracks that are also solid as an independent listen:

Also of interest is John's earlier release Bedrock 12.

John has a few favorite reoccurring artists, including Christian Smith, King Unique, Maetrik, Nick Warren, Quiver and Wiretappeur that have shown up in Structures and Bedrock. He also produces a few tracks with friend and co-founder of Bedrock Records, Nick Muir.

There is yet again so much variation in this album, but John resonates a very specific breed of mixing. His transitions are flawless.

Here are a couple tracks. If you want the original files, just let me know and I'd be happy to send! You can direct message me any way you like and we'll figure it out. I'm configuring a site right now, so in the near future I will be able to quickly upload all the tracks for your downloading convenience. 'Transitions' is a pretty easy find (in hq) from a simple online search. Megauplaod and soundtrack take awhileeee, otherwise I would upload everything all the time!
