It was 2003 when John Digweed first visited Finland. Now he’s coming again.
Remember the video Screen Club made after the visit in 2003? It was state-of-the-art at that time and doesn’t look too bad today, either. I can’t believe it’s not on Youtube – seems like it’s up to you to put it there ;)
Here’s a direct link to the video anyway.
In the late 90’s and early ’00, the first Finnish superclub Screen brought in quite a bunch of prog house names who were enjoying their worldwide success when progressive house was darker and hotter than ever.
I spotted this tune on one of the videos or recordings made at the club (both, especially hi-quality video clips from clubs were relatively rare at that time) and as often those times, it took me months to get to know the name and the track and hunt down the vinyl copy.
Even though this definitely is an underrated gem, Nick Warren gave it some deserved publicity and added it on his Global Underground – Reykjavik compilation.
Listen to it below or on Youtube. Feelin’ the early 2000 vibe?
