The British progressive house pioneer brings his inimitable sound to Contact

There are few DJs from the original UK house music explosion in the 1990s with a legacy and sound as distinctive as John Digweed. The particular strain of deep, hypnotic dance music he and Sasha explored and made their name with became known as prog house, but it was a limited tag compared to the expansive creativity the pair were expressing on seminal mixes such as Northern Exposure.

Refusing to rest on his laurels, Digweed has remained an active and vital presence in the global electronic music landscape, constantly embracing new approaches while maintaining his focus on immersive, floor-focused 4/4 rhythms. Making a welcome return to Tokyo, his lengthy set on the Studio X Floor will be a truly engaging experience, with the veteran DJ stretching himself out over six hours for an unforgettable ride through all the shades of music he has turned his hand to. Experiences such as these provide a real insight into the inner workings of a creative legend.

The Contact Floor will see DJs from the renowned Re:birth festival and the Liquid Drop Groove collective playing a broad range of techno-rooted sounds as a counterbalance to the undulating tones Digweed will be rolling out.
