Reewind! March 2005:
"I think now we're in a period where the music is better and more varied then in years past," contemplates an optimistic Digweed. "If I look at what I'm playing, it comes from breaks, house, techno, all over and it's all combining really well. Things have gone underground again, which is good for dance music. As it disappears off the mainstream radar though, people often shout 'it's dead!' It just means that it's ejecting the crap element from it all and the strong stuff survives. Bands like Bloc Party and Kasabian are big in the UK at present and if you read their interviews they make a big deal of the part dance has on their influences."
