Product Description
CD Description
Following Bedrock Eleven, this new compilation, Structures, mixed by progressive house icon John Digweed, packs in two CDs and a DVD. The former portion shows Digweed mixing up more than 30 of his recent favorites, including loads of unreleased productions and remixes by the likes of Wehbba, John Daly, Nic Fanciulli and of course himself and co-label head Nick Miur.
On the DVD, you'll find a new documentary by filmmaker Pablo Casacuberta, entitled Eye of the Storm. The film captures Digweed on one of his many tours across South America, but rather than acting as a travel diary, it attempts to capture what Casacuberta considers Digweed's very essence.
He explains: "I wanted to depict his celebrated patience, his sense of timing and his observational abilities. And the only way to do so was through sequences that were mostly poetic. So, instead of just following him around, we also placed him in strange, almost imaginary settings, in which his adaptive and curious nature could flourish... I hope that the final cut, however experimental, may allow his fans to feel that they have had a personal chat with him, and that by doing so they know him better."
While that may sound a bit heady, the documentary will be complemented by John Digweed Live at the Vegabond, a clip from the 2010 Bedrock/Creations Party in Miami.

If you've heard one of John Digweed's sets in the last few months ago, then there's few surprises here; the first disc is minimal and slightly slower, drawing you into a mellow journey of tech house. The second disk picks up the pace without losing any of the sleek coolness you get from a high end mix of electronic dance music. All in all, it makes for a great combination. It's minimal but never boring, with always new notes and melodies floating over the beats. Disc two especially is danceable as hell, and would sound great in a club, while not feeling out of place on a late night chilling at home either.
The DVD is a nice addition and makes the set even better value for money. The thirty minute documentary is very interesting and well shot, with the only disappointment being the short length. The live mix is awesome as well, although I was hoping we would get the picture of the club and dancefloor as it unfolded, rather than only audio. Either way, it's a nice extra to a great package. Overall, it's not the most innovative couple of discs Bedrock have ever put out, but it's certainly up there with the best, and more than worth the price.

This is a great mix CD/DVD package from Diggers. I didn't give it the full 5 stars because I don't think that in all honesty it is a classic mix, but it is good.
The first CD is a kind of deep house / deep progressive style; the second CD picks it up a notch with a more techno-ish / progressive style. It is a studio mix rather than a live mix, as such Digweed crams in a lot of tracks, some tracks only playing for a minute or two.
I wouldn't say that the music on this track is as cutting-edge as some of his other stuff (such as the Transitions series). That being said, if you like John Digweed then you will like this CD, its as simple as that.
The DVD features a short film about Digweed called Eye of the Storm, plus a live mix (audio only, no video) and some artwork stuff.
Overall I would recommend it.
