Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

For those unwilling to travel across the world in order to hear the finest sets in the finest clubs, as played by the finest DJs, the Global Underground series proves a godsend. Less concerned with forcing as many chart hits into the equation as most of the glut of commercial mix CDs, Global Underground pushes the DJ to the fore. John Digweed's Hong Kong is a perfect example of the superstar DJ effect paying off--his sleek, polished take on tech-trance isn't dictated by commercial concerns, market forces or chart position, but simply concentrates on moulding the dancefloor into a pulsing, hypnotic ambience. An eight-minute reading of the Salt City Orchestra remix of Underworld's "Cups" recedes into the sparse, dark house of Madder Rose's "Overflow (FC Kahuna remix)" without even showing the join, and that's very much Digweed's style. Confident, seamless, accomplished--Hong Kong is so good it defies genre pigeonholing. -- Louis Pattison

5.0 out of 5 stars Diggers is Don, 8 Jun 2001

By	Ashwin "ashwin183" (Bay Area, CA) - See all my reviews

It is always amazing to see a DJ who pushes the boundaries of dance music to new levels. Digweed does exactly that. His DJing style is so evolved that its pure class compared to any other DJ out there, except maybe Sasha. But Digweed is a king in his own right - bone shattering tracks, the BEST mixing in the world, very mental, deep and underground. Dont listen to Digweed and complain that you dont like him. Dancing to the music of Lord Diggers is like getting a PhD in music appreciation, only a few people are chosen by God to understand him and enjoy, and I'm thankful. Again, a quality release from Global Underground. Digweed is the master of the needle and takes the boundaries of dance music to new heights. Buy it without hesitation and gain some taste.

5.0 out of 5 stars Energetic, dark, tech-house ride, 3 Dec 2002

By	Jonathan S. Kemp (Omaha, NE United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Global Underground 14: John Digweed In Hong Kong (Audio CD)

John Digweed was one of the most repected names in the trance genre. His work with Sasha on their Northern Exposure series, and on other disks such as Renaissance and his Sydney escapade, proved his prowess of making awesome, energetic trance mixes. Diggers continued spinning trance up until about 1999, when he released a progressive house mix, Bedrock.

Bedrock was definitely an outstanding set, but this is the peak of all Digweed's sets so far. Hong Kong is a smooth, dark, absolutely wonderful mix, with both CDs being equal in their technical flair and fidelity. On many Global Underground disks, I favor the second CD to the first one; I tend to like the more dynamic sounds of the high energy sets featured on the latter part of the CD. Digweed's Hong Kong is fantastic on both disks. Neither is better than the other, and it doesn't succumb to the typical GU style of CD 1 being the lethargic mix while CD 2 picks up the pace.

As usual, the mixing on this Digweed set is impeccable. His track selection and mixing from one song to the next is ethereal; just listen for the transistion from the Baguio Track into Music Saved My Life. Every track is mixed into another without a cut of cheese or obvious cross fader.

Hong Kong is definitely Digweed's best solo work, rivaled only by his sets with Sasha in the Northern Exposure series. The liquid grooves and dark rhythms on Hong Kong make for an incredible experience, possibly even ranking as the best GU yet.

5.0 out of 5 stars 5 Stars for disc 2, 10 Jan 2002

By	chrisauton@netscapeonline.co.uk (Manchester UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Global Underground 14: John Digweed In Hong Kong (Audio CD)

I don't listen to disc 1 of this CD because it's too slow and samey for me. That said it's well worth buying for disc 2, if you like electronic music, then buy it now. Disc 2 starts a little slow, but builds steadily. From track 5 onwards the tunes are amazing and build to a brilliant finish with Stoneproof at the end. This is now one of my all time favourite mixes and I can't recommend it highly enough. Go for it!
