John Digweed Shares His View Of The EDM Scene
. Going on to carve out individual careers at the advent of the new millennium, Digweed would establish the influential Bedrock record label and launch the long-running Transitions radio show, releasing a string of mix albums including the Live in� series, which debuted in 2012. Voted the world's #1 DJ in 2001 by DJ Mag (a distinction currently held by Hardwell), Digweed is diplomatic about his place in the relatively new world of EDM in America, now marked by huge festivals and pop crossover success. "It's their moment. It's their Woodstock, it's their Twilo," he said during a recent interview with Radio.com about the current generation of dance music fans. "I think it's great they're getting their experience in electronic music. It's not the music that I play, but you can see how much fun they're having and there's nothing wrong with that. It was the same when the raves first started in England. Some of the music and some of the people�it was just terrible. But their musical tastes changed. Everyone wants to be at the biggest event. and then suddenly after a while they want to go somewhere�where the music's a bit cooler, to something a bit more edgy to what's happening in here. I think it's a balance, you know." When asked to define music released on his own label, known as "the Bedrock sound," Digweed described it as a conglomeration that runs the gamut of electronic music, yet still works together as one. more on this story Radio.com is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
