John Digweed - Best Of 2006/Live @ Space, Ibiza

I've been on somewhat of a John Digweed kick as of late. Lots of great sets to be heard from the man at the moment, all incidently leading up to Transitions Vol. 2, which is due out January 29th. Starting on December 24th, Digweed played a three-part Best Of 2006 on his radio show. I've got them all hear for download. Here are the tracklists:

Having just finished listening, I can assure you that it's classic Digweed. The sound is deep, funky, and melodic. According to those who were in actual attendance during the recording, at the beginning of John's set there were only 20 or 30 people on the floor. Definitely a different setting than what were used to hearing from Digweed, and the difference is reflected in the music. Hopefully, Digweed will continue to play other portions of the set in the coming weeks.
