To coincide with the tenth anniversary of Bedrock parties in London and the fast approaching 10th anniversary of Bedrock Records, John Digweed releases the triple-disc mix Bedrock 10 Past, Present and Future through his own Bedrock Records. Digweed has compiled and mixed a collection of remixes that shine new light on the label’s back catalogue alongside the cuts that are currently representing the distinguished Bedrock sound.
CD1 delves deep into the Bedrock archives with Tom Mangan giving his 2001 cut “Chutney” a hefty face-lift, Steve Lawler re-interpreting his own “Rise In” and Danny Howells doing a tasty number on Science Department’s “Repercussion”. The disc culminates in M.O.D.E. turning in a fine remix of Bedrock’s “Heaven Scent” which is no mean feat given the tracks gargantuan standing.
CD2 faces forward while reflectively signalling a nod to past greats. Guy J makes his presence felt among his long-established, production contemporaries on “Lunar”, Bruce Aisher takes on Saints and Sinners’ “Pushin Too Hard” and Christian Smith demonstrates a lesson in subtly destroying a dance floor with his summer-smash “Flyertalk” and Josh wink under his size 9 Moniker delivers an unreal remix of “Chutney.”
CD3 is an Unmixed affair and features original tracks from Funk d Void, Jim Rivers and Charlie May (Pindrop) and also features unreleased remixes from Guy Gerber, POB, and Chab to name a few.
