Like all DJ's worth their salt, John Digweed has a seriously deep record collection. On this two-disc mix set, he presents tracks that have influenced him over his long and influential career. Fans expecting the spacy progressive house of his Bedrock label will be surprised to find none here. Instead, Digweed starts off with honest-to-goodness breakbeats and gradually increases the tempo, although things never get hectic. This is strictly classic business, with long out-of-print records that reflect the innocence and optimism of early dance music. Highlights include the slow breaks of The Grid's "Floatation," the U2-esque trip hop of T. Tauri's "Joy to the World," and the cascading piano licks of Smith and Mighty's "Dark House."
The Azuli Choice - A Collection of Classics compilation series are retrospective compilation albums selected by renowned DJs. Contributors are invited to unearth rarities and forgotten gems from their record collections, demonstrating their influences but often drawing on styles outside those which they would normally play in a club set; they usually also provide detailed liner notes explaining their musical selections. DJs who have contributed to the series so far include: Danny Tenaglia, Tony Humphries, Francois K ,X-Press 2, Jeff Mills , John Digweed and Roger Sanchez.
In most cases, the Choice compilations are mixed; however the eclectic nature of the music chosen means that beat-mixing is not always possible or appropriate. For this reason, some of the albums have been loosely segued together, while others, such as that by Francois K, remain completely unmixed.
Azuli records' boss Dave Piccioni has said that while the Choice compilations make no money and are difficult to put together due to licensing issues, they are also among the releases of which he is the most proud.
