Hastings, UK, native John Digweed is one of the most world renowned DJs, and though his forte has always been trance and progressive music, he's proven that his true skills are stretching his sound into a devastatingly cosmopolitan-minimal realm, and playing with electro sensibilities.

Los Angeles, CA ? John Digweed is set to release Transitions this July with a month long US tour in support. For Transitions John has utilized his progressive vision of electronica to create something different from your typical "trance comp." A new mix series inspired from his globally syndicated radio show of the same name, each release will be a single disc and released biannually exclusively in the US through Thrive Records and internationally through Renaissance.

Over a decade ago John began wowing crowds as one of the original residents of Venue 44 alongside Sasha. The promise of the pair's incredible partnership was soon made legendary on Renaissance ? The Mix Collection Vol. 1, widely regarded as the best dance compilation of all time, and the first to attain 'Gold' status in the UK, the benchmark against which all subsequent comps have been set. Now, following the 10th anniversary re-release of that eponymous album John returns with Transitions, his latest mix compilation. This new series will showcase John's inimitable sound and flawless mixing which has established him as one of the world's most innovative DJs and producers, reaching audiences across the globe?

As one half of Bedrock, alongside Nick Muir, he's also proven to be a strong and diverse force in the studio, recently having scored the music for MTV's animated production of Spider-Man. They have also had countless releases including two that entered the UK Top 40, 'Heaven Scent' and 'For What You Dream Of,' the latter having featured in the hit movie Trainspotting.

John has continually influenced the world of electronic music, his management and creative direction helping to launch the careers of Danny Howells, Jimmy Van M, Chris Fortier and Luke Fair, whilst still finding time to remix tracks for industry heavyweights such as Quincy Jones, Underworld, The Music and New Order. Other career highs include the landmark residence at New York's legendary Twilo; the arena-busting Delta Heavy Tour of America; the Area 2 Tour with David Bowie and Moby; the Bedrock residency at Heaven, London and performing for an audience of well over 250,000 with Fatboy Slim on Brighton Beach, not to mention two further Gold selling compilations. Little wonder he topped DJ Mag's 'Top 100' DJ list in 2001 and has remained in the Top 10 ever since.

John Digweed hits the road in May for a national headlining tour in support of Renaissance-Transitions.
