After an interesting release on Fabric, news had it that John Digweed was mixing another compilation. The rumours pointing to the Azuli label in the form of a Choice mix were indeed correct.
Following on from Danny Tenaglia, Tony Humphries, Derrick Carter, Francios K, Louie Vega, Jeff Mills and more recently X-Press 2, John Digweed has something special in store as he brings us his "Collection of Classics". Digweed's Choice Mix features a variety of flavours, from his early influences and favourite tracks to a few tastes from his latest styles. Lots of great remixes feature in the tracklist, that musically time-stamps the current whereabouts of the man who is at the top of the progressive scene.John Digweed - Choice: A Collection Of Classics
