Bedrock 12 at Brixton Academy
Left Brighton to its disco fascination for Brixton and John Digweed's big Bedrock 12 party at the O2 Academy. Nice to have a big group of us out though the rain didn't stop all day making it a damp start. Still no big queues to get in.
Digweed's first set was quite bland and light but still good. Carl Cox was the sandwich filling between. I was expecting a ploddy techno set but he did have his good moments. He still likes using the microphone which was annoying at times and there were some choppy and poor mixing along the way.
The other rooms weren't really worth bothering with and most of the time it was just a case of getting out of the heat and resting from the vibrating levelled dancefloor. Surprisingly, at about 3am the majority wanted to go back to Steve and Sam's so Julian and I carried on.
Digweed's second set was a lot better and everything he played was completely new, no previous mix album tracks, no classics either. I could only last another 90 minutes of heat plus the main room was getting a little too busy.
