2010 is proving to be a fantastic year for music and a great year for the ever-impressive Bedrock Records. For his latest album venture, 'Structures', John Digweed has selected an exceptional 33 tracks, bringing together the latest Bedrock single releases and a plethora of, unreleased, exclusive tracks and remixed tracks from 'Bedrock Eleven', all mixed together to perfection by the man himself.
The totally tuned-in, turned-on, forward thinking mix across 2xCDs, not only features the amazing music of big guns like Cristian Varela, Guy J, Christian Smith, Quivver, King Unique, Nick Warren, Mutant Clan, John Digweed & Nick Muir, but also showcases the label's desire to push forward the rising stars of the future. A glance through the tracklist reveals the impressive talents of Rowdent, Dimitri Nakov, Marc Marzenit, Ian O'Donovan, Sian, Luis Junior and many more. The additional bonus of featuring some of the best remix work from Nic Fanciulli, Pete Heller, Psycatron and more, only confirms that John Digweed has his finger firmly on the pulse of the electronic dance scene in 2010. It's an international showcase from this influential label that is hard to beat.
'Structures' is further enhanced by the inclusion of a bonus DVD featuring 'Eye Of The Storm', a visual masterpiece documentary, filmed on John's last tour of South America by Pablo Casacuberta (www.pablocasacuberta.com). His exceptional creativity assumes that the viewing audience has a certain awareness of John Digweed's "public persona" and hence seeks to take a glimpse his inner life, thinking processes and his imagination using visual metaphors that can illustrate them in a graphic way. It's an approach that reinvigorates the somewhat formulaic music documentary genre, and takes it to another enthralling level.
It seems amazing that through such an illustrious career so far, John Digweed has never had a live DJ mix made commercially available! But, 'John Digweed Live at the Vagabond', recorded live at the 9th Annual Bedrock/Creations Party at Vagabond Miami 27th March 2010, included here on the 'Structures' bonus DVD is yet another musical milestone. It's a 10 track live mix complete with slideshow that captures the essence of this amazing Bedrock party for posterity.
