‘Versus’ – the 3-part concept collaboration album between John Digweed, Nick Muir and 12 of the most exciting up-and-coming producers on the underground circuit – has finally seen its long-awaited release on the legendary Bedrock Records.
CD 1 (Mixed by John Digweed) & CD 2 (Unmixed) feature 12 of the producers that John and Nick have earmarked as their current favourites. From Pig & Dan, jozif, The Japanese Popstars and Psycatron to Christian Smith & Wehbba, Henry Saiz, Marco Bailey, Guy J and more, John & Nick go all out on their quota of production to generate truly special cuts alongside their much respected counterparts.
You can preview all 10 tracks right here.
Like the perfectly structured sets for which Digweed has become so famed, the Versus mix on CD1 ebbs and flows to searing peaks and tranquil hypnotizers that make up an assorted blend of floor filling masterworks. On CD 2, listeners and budding DJs can catch each production in its own diverse and genre jumping detail.
The 3rd and final CD is left solely to Digweed & Muir, which exhibits them at their creative best. With just a handful of productions in current circulation of the two stars locking horns, eight brand new and exclusive tracks presented by the duo is a rare treat for Bedrock fans. A beautifully sculpted mix of down tempo set closers, this concluding offering is perfect for an after hours set as it lulls and coerces the listener into a suspended dreamlike state of musical serenity. Simply titled Electronica, it’s the perfect end to a perfect tri-part album.
