    i actually did respond to you but weren't online anymore. then i sent you an email. no i said that cause you said something to donald. like, if you don't like it, meet me in person at work or something. but whatever. that doesn't really have anything to do with me. let's just drop it. this is some stupid bs. the more we argue the more we seem immature. and united is better then divided. ok?

    1st of all it is an old pic and it was meant to be an old fierce pic from arena days. 2nd misunderstood kevin does not do those things anymore and before you go and make false accuastions learn what the fuck you are talking about please.

    ok, first of all, i'm not making any false accusations. i'm just stating a fact. in the past he has been know to be extremely messed up at his parties. and he wasn't trying to hide it neither. everyone knew. so i took that and made a joke with it. as far as if he's clean now or not. i don't really care. is kevin your brother? your lover? is he even your friend? do you guys talk on the phone? because i really don't see the need to curse people out and attempt to start drama in a club because of what was said about someone on a message board. now you may be his fan and like his music. but that doesn't give you the right to belittle people and IM them telling them what they shouldn't do.

    yea but frankie knuckles was one of the originators of house in the 80s. he spun at the warehouse. so he can't be touched. he can do whatever he likes. but that can't be said for junior vasquez. he got big in 90s when house was already famous. he got famous for those gay synthy house tunes mixed with tribal. so i just think he should keep taking it foward. take it to the next level.

    yea, i mean, every dj has to keep changing their sound in order to still be in demand. that's what all the big djs in the world do. once carl cox and sven vath spun techno, then hard techno, now carl does some house and minimal and sven does some electro and minimal also. you gotta keep moving with the times. playing piano house tracks from early 90s everytime can get extremely boring at times.

    The last time Sasha and John Digweed toured the US was in 2002 on their infamous Delta Heavy Tour, known as the most important DJ tour to ever hit America. The tour forever raised the bar for large-scale electronic music events. Technically produced like a rock concert, complete with touring sound, lighting, staging and laser and video production Delta Heavy catapulted Sasha & John Digweed into arena headlining status and was attended by more than 85,000 people during its six weeks.

    While most DJ tours are all about taking flights from city to city, Sasha and John will be hitting the pavement, bussing it through the country. However, unlike Delta Heavy, this tour is about going back to their grass roots. "You know that's what it's all about -- giving the people a good time." Sasha and John

    "Its been six years since Delta Heavy. Both Sasha and myself have been talking for ages about touring the states together again, but really wanted to go back to our underground roots as recently the only shows we have done together have been massive festival events. So this time around we are playing a great selection of clubs with great sound systems rather than big arena shows, which will give our fans a chance to see us in a more intimate environment." John Digweed

    Sasha and John Digweed are truly bringing their sonic experience back to the people, and this tour offers something for every one of their fans. The tour will make stops at legendary rock venues such as the Warfield in San Francisco and Webster Hall in NYC. In addition, many of the shows are 18+ and some are even all ages. And because many of these events are taking place in traditional rock venues their shows may start at 9 and end at 2, as opposed to a traditional club night which starts at 2am and ends at 6am. A rare exception indeed for Sasha and John Digweed fans.

    “While Delta Heavy was billed as an arena tour it was the theatres and clubs where John and I had the most fun and where we felt our sound worked best. So this time around we decided to focus on those venues. Over the last 6 years we have played together a lot in LA and NY, and whilst I love those cities, I'm really looking forward to returning to places like DC, Seattle and Minneapolis, where John and I haven't shared the decks since 2002. Plus, spending time on the road with John on a bus touring the country is something I just couldn't turn down." - Sasha

    For this tour, Sasha and John have partnered with Beatport and Wantickets for a very special promotion.

    Advance tickets will be available directly through Wantickets:

    www.wantickets.com/SashaandJohnDigweed

    Those who purchase a ticket in advance through Wantickets will get a free Sasha/John Digweed track. In addition, for everyone who attends a show, Beatport will be giving a Beatport Download card which will give the fans another free track. It's just one way for Sasha and John Digweed to thank their fans for all their support.

    Both Sasha and John Digweed will be releasing CDs to coincide with the tour.

    More information on these releases to follow soon.

    BRIEF HISTORY:

    When indie rock and cheesy pop dominated the national charts and the underground was desperate for a sound of its own, along came two young British DJ's, both making their mark in the burgeoning UK Rave scene and eager to take an underground phenomenon to another level. A meeting of minds and musical collaboration soon lead them to become one of the worlds most internationally recognized and acclaimed dj duos in electronic music, to this day. They became the first dj collective and tastemakers to bring dance to the foreground of mainstream music, when in 1994 the inception of their partnership formed as they released the seminal triple disc compilation Renaissance The Mix Collection which provided a yardstick for all future DJ mix albums. Sasha and John Digweed have never given in to the mainstream yet have always somehow defined it.

    What followed in 1996 was the infamous Northern Exposure double disc set on Ultra Records. And in the same year, the British duo were invited to share a monthly residency at the world's most renown club, New York City's Twilo, becoming the first British DJs to hold a residency. With their awe-inspiring all-night sessions, Sasha and John conquered New York City. Soon, the rest of America became transfixed by the maestros' blistering sets that captivated crowds in cities across the nation.

    "What distinguishes Northern Exposure from other DJ'S mixed compilations available these days is how cerebral DJs Sasha and John Digweed's mixology is. Instead of your typical Dance mix USA volume, these guys thrive on transition as much as they do groove. They gracefully combine their notably fierce progressive house and fluttering-yet filthy dance music signature style with a lush selection of melodies and banging anthems from groundbreaking dance artists of yesterday, today and tomorrow."

    - Smith Galtney, Time Out

    Before their existence, the concept of a compilation was merely a mixture of tracks packaged together and sold to the masses at face value. Never before in mainstream music had anyone taken the initiative to fuse together underground anthems and deliver them in the form of a dj set. Flavored, motivated and driven by another's interpretation with their own original productions in the mix, the superstar dj was born and the line between dj and artist was quickly blurred.

    "Sasha and Digweed have really stepped right up to the plate and hit an all American home run."

    -Smith Galtney, Time Out

    Indeed, they did. It is their ability to reach people by hooking their audience into the personality behind the decks.

    "Presiding over the packed dance floor like new millennial rockstars, the two pioneering DJs took turns spinning piping hot wax, whipping the throbbing crowd in and out of frenzy."

    - Boston Herald

    Sasha's trademark power-packed, emotional sets embody the essence of his high-octane moments. He propels listeners into the future of electronic music by constructing innovative and forward-thinking concepts. While John's sets are enveloped in imagination and invention without heroic pretensions his sets are filled with moodiness and musical mystery but held down with a punchy distinctiveness and earthly rhythm. Always emanating a sense of boundlessness he overlaps dream events that spill into reality with an enormous certainty. However, working together they bring their individual purposeful eclecticism to the forefront both through their selection of songs and their supreme mixing skills.

    "In the same way bands like the Chemical Brothers, Prodigy and the The Crystal Method broke new ground last year with recordings, that overflowed out of the clubs and into the homes of the mainstream America, DJ duo Sasha and John Digweed are setting the agenda for the next chapter in the rewriting of the textbook of modern dance music. For those timid about this brave, new electronica-drenched world, this is a good primer."

    - Eric Nonacs, Jane Magazine

    "With DJ tag team extraordinaire Sasha and John Digweed". Only slated to perform through 3:30 A.M. at Bonnaroo, Sasha and John Digweed's set continued well into the morning, providing a sound track while I moseyed on back to the Spin compound as the sun rose, smiling and shaking my head in a blissful confusion, wondering what had happen to the past five hours."

    - William Goodman, Spin.com 2007

    WHAT THE PRESS SAY...

    "Their legendary twelve-hour Twilo sets -- sets that continue on to this day because of an almost unspoken musical chemistry and compatibility."

    -Rolling Stone

    "A longing for rapture and transcendence is never far from the surface of dance music, particularly in the utopian pulsations set out by the English disk-jockey team of Sasha and John Digweed."

    - Jon Pareles,The New York Times

    "HEARTBREAKINGLY POWERFUL..."

    -Mix Mag UK

    "When Sasha & Digweed take turns bouncing keyboard-rich hooks and delivering show-stopping rises, fans beyond dance will understand the fuss."

    -Los Angeles Times
