“The quality of tracks from the underground scene this year has been amazing,” John Digweed tells us, showing that his passion for the music he loves remains as strong as ever.
His forward-thinking attitude has been essential to the continued success of his label Bedrock over the past year, and he puts it down to changing with the times: “The digital age has made it easy to access music in good and bad ways, so you have to adapt and put on events and sell merchandise to add extra revenue,” he explains.
As well as keeping up a heavy schedule of Bedrock events and other gigs around the world, John is working on an unusual collaboration. “There is a fantastic project that I have been working on with Nick Muir and a well-known author that is due for release at the start of 2012,” he teases, but that's all the detail he'll divulge right now.
