John Digweed

ust got these amazing HDJ2000 Headphones from Pioneer in super sexy white they even have my name on them in case I forget who I am!

My main use for Live is for mixing my weekly worldwide Transitions radio show and doing re-edits of tracks to play out at my gigs.

This is a screen shot of the Logic 9 project for the idea that we sent to Henry Saiz to which he added his own very special magic and worked up into the track 'Lupine' which opens CD1 on the #Versus album. http://bit.ly/Versus-Bedrock

What's your current live/DJ set-up and why have youchosen this over everything else available in the market?

If I play out, like a lot of producers I use Ableton on a laptop. The DJs turn their noses up a bit at this and I can understand that, one of the great things about DJ-ing is the 'flying by the seat of your pants' aspect to it and their perception is that the laptop thing takes away from that.

Actually though I have always played live, the difference these days is that I can do on a laptop what I used to have to do on a whole studio set-up. The penny dropped one day few years back ashen I played a gig with Charlie May - I had our Land Rover stuffed full of gear and he had a back pack with a laptop and caught the tube home! So I bought the APC40 twinned with the laptop. This set-up is still being tweaked though, last couple of gigs the APC has lost connection with the laptop which is a real pain. It doesn't lock out but you have to piss about with it instead of concentrating on what you're doing. I'm looking at alternatives.
