John Digweed Biog
If you’re not an avid follower of dance music but are tuned into popular
culture at all you’ve likely experienced music touched by the hands
of John Digweed.* Originally hailing from England but having clearly
arrived on the global scene well over a decade ago John has long since
cemented his name in the pages of dance music history.* His list of
achievements is groundbreaking to say the least.* Highlights of which
would be the first proper dj mix compilation (“The Mix Collection”, done
with Sasha), being the first British dj to hold a residency at what was
then the world’s most well known club in NYC (Twilo, also with Sasha)
as well as having remixed music by William Orbit, Underworld, Quincy
Jones, Mr Fogg and New Order.
John Digweed is a DJ's DJ.* The beauty of what he does lies in just how
different he really is from his contemporaries.* From his early beginnings
in Hastings, England at the age of 15 in the blossoming scene of acid
house to the apex of *the international dj'ing* world he has created
and maintained a level of integrity that is the benchmark for both dj’s
and producers globally.* In fact, he has reached the very top of his
profession, being voted #1 in a voter's poll.*John Digweed has become
the people’s choice while maintaining his longstanding presence in
underground dance culture. His popularity as both a dj and a person
seems to have no limits, but his efforts transcend dj'ing alone, he is as
much a producer and promoter.* His moniker “Bedrock” is actually three
things: a record label, a promotions company and a studio production
partnership with Nick Muir. His management and creative direction
for the Bedrock record label spans over 12 years with the vision and
creative insight to seek out mixes and remixes from the worlds best
producers . To have a record released on Bedrock serves as the global
stamp of production quality, ingenuity and integrity for underground
producers worldwide.* In fact, the name John Digweed is synonymous
with those very qualities.* From the nights he has either created or
been a part of (Bedrock, Northern Exposure) to his world renowned mix
cd's (Renaissance, GU, Northern Exposure, Transitions and Bedrock
compilation album`s 10 ,11 12 and Structures) he has consistently
produced characteristic products that stay in demand, himself included.
As one half of Bedrock the production duo he has landed two tracks in
the top 40 (“Heaven Scent” and “For What You Dream Of”) the latter
of which made it into the hit movie “Trainspotting”. He has even tried
a bit of acting himself ("Groove").* He and Nick Muir as Bedrock the
production team also scored a Hollywood film (“Stark Raving Mad”) as
well as the animated release of “Spider-Man” for Sony / MTV.* He’s
toured every corner of the planet including bus tours in the USA (Delta
Heavy and Area 2 (with David Bowie and Moby) ,*The*legendary Big
Beach Boutique in Brighton with Fatboy slim had him gladly performing
to 250,000 and most recently selling out the O2 Brixton Academy for
His Transitions Radio show is now it`s 10th year and is still one of
the most successful dance music shows, being broadcast to over 30
countries across the world to a weekly audience of over 12 million.
As a person John's lack of pretense is enveloped in imagination and
invention. Good reason for John being one of the most respected,
analyzed and imitated dj's in the world.* Digweed is both solid and
durable with unyielding precision.* His sinuous dj'ing and production
sound has become its own convincing dance ethic.* He is centered to
the principles of life, living and friends in such a way that he generates
an aura of self-explanatory excitement and enthusiasm.** Without heroic
pretensions his sets are filled with moodiness and musical mystery but
held down with a punchy distinctiveness and earthly rhythm. Always
emanating a sense of boundlessness he overlaps dream events that
spill into reality with an enormous certainty.
