自15岁起,John Digweed已经很想成为一个DJ,他用了两年的时间去从事团艺工作,目的是为了储钱去购买心爱的唱盘。不久之后,他也能够成为了Brighton市Savannah Club的驻场DJ了。
之后John曾经到伦敦一间酒吧了,出任经理。期间,他曾探访过Hestings这间夜店,并对他影响深远。回到家乡Hastings他开始在The Crypt这间Club 中举办Bedrock Club Night,当时Norman Cook(Fatboy Slim)是他第一个嘉宾。
其后,John陪同另一个派对搅手在Hastings的码头举办Storm Night.第一晚已请来Derrick May,Grooverider及Harvey这些巨星。一如所料,这晚的门票早已售馨,而这种派对也在之后几年成为最成功的派对之一。
John Digweed成名于英伦的时间当他在Renaissance驻场的时候,那时DJ Sasha也成为了他的好友及好拍挡,并合作到现在。在1995年,他更赢了DMC的“DJ of the year"的宝座,让他成为巨星级的DJ。John Digweed之后也成立了Northem Exposure,并非常成功。同时,他也想Bedrock这个名字能够继续,而在Brighton,Dublin及London等地举办Bedrock Party。并成立了Bedrock厂牌找来巨星百DJ,如Jimmy Van M、Chris Fortier等等推出DJmix。这位身兼数职的DJ排名经常守在10名左右,实力可见一斑。
Hastings native John Digweed had been DJing for close to ten years when his DJ remix tape caught the ear of Renaissance promoter Geoff Oakes. He was soon working alongside the likes of another popular Renaissance DJ, Sasha. The new position gave the DJ what he needed for his big breakthrough, and he has continued to prosper ever since. Soon a Renaissance CD compilation containing some of Sasha and John's best remixes was released. The album was a surprise huge seller, warranting a follow-up, Renaissance 2, which soon approached gold status in Europe. Like Sasha, Digweed isn't limited to remixing other people's records. He promotes shows in Europe under such pseudonyms as Babealicious and Northern Exposure. Sasha and Digweed continued their collaboration with the Northern Exposure series, compiling the duo's best remixes for other artists (the second volume was released in 1998 in completely different East Coast and West Coast editions). Digweed scored two Top 30 hits in 1997 with remixes of Chakra's "I Am" and Bedrock's "For What You Dream Of" (featured in the hit movie Trainspotting). Digweed also bought a dance club in the south of England in order to perform there on a weekly basis. Via the Global Underground mix series, he released volumes recorded in Sydney and Hong Kong during 1998, then premiered Bedrock -- his combination label and production concern -- in late 1999. A starring appearance in the American rave movie Groove also increased his stateside visibility. The new millennium saw another release from Bedrock, a double disc of fresh singles and collective new cuts called Foundations. Several mix albums followed in the early 2000s, including Stark Raving Mad, additions to the popular Fabric and Choice: A Collection of Classics series, and two volumes of Transitions.
