At last, I’ve solved a long time music mystery. I’ve ID’d a mystery track that’s eluded me for a long time.<\/p>\n
Four years ago I pick up a copy of one of Pete Tong’s Essential Mix<\/a> radio programs. The guest for that night is Mr. John Digweed<\/a>, who proceeds to lay down one of my all-time favorite DJ sets. I remember sitting at a table at the library in Palos Verdes Estates (a temporary hangout after I first landed in Los Angeles and spent a few months living Mandy in Lomita,) where I had been working on some script or other. As I listen to the mix for the first time. I find myself typing less and staring instead in amazement at my cd player as one after another after another of gigantic big room progressive monsters dropped into my head.<\/p>\n Like any good DJ hobbyist, I immediately set about trying to procure a tracklist. They’re available on the net, but since Diggers is one of those DJs who receives countless advance tunes and white labels, there are holes in the setlists I find. not even the cats at BBC know what the full tracklist is. Unfortunately, one of my favorites from the set, a thunderous rhythmc marvel, is listed as “Unknown – White Label” and I’m forced to be content with only hearing it in the context of the mix and never coming from my own turntables.<\/p>\n The other day, digging for some good ear candy for yet another foray up into the hills above my home, I pull down this mix and set off. Once again, I find myself entranced (no pun intended) by that particular “Unknown – White Label.” I decide to really hunt for the thing. Scour the internet. Find a copy for myself. And then at last, I discover this<\/a>. Some guy over at (where else) TranceAddict forums has taken it upon himself to post as many Digweed setlists as he possibly can. I scroll down to 2002 and there it is. Finally.<\/p>\n Pete Heller & Ted Patterson (aka The Look & Feel) – Big Room Drama.<\/p>\n And thanks to the recent success of my eBay auction<\/a>, I’ve got a few pounds to spare for the vinyl version<\/a>.<\/p>\n Check it out for yourself, straight from the mix, complete with Pete Tong blasting his announcement into the middle of the first breakdown. It’s got everything I love, that heavy stuttering rhythm, the monstrous bass, the lovely wash of synths in the background…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" At last, I’ve solved a long time music mystery.
