バイオグラフィ
- By the first record purchased aged 15, Simon Digby felt his eyes had just been opened. As beats drummed in his mind he quickly established a collection of preferred sounds, acquired turntables and a mixer and began working on his technique.Deeply driven by passion for his music, Simon yearned to share his sounds with others. His first opportunity took place in intimate surroundings in front of friends at house parties. It was a desire to communicate his music to the world that led Simon to take DJing on as a career. The uniqueness that makes up Simon Digby stems through his ability to incorporate the grooves of house with a harder minimal sound. It was through Simon’s reputation for diversity that secured him gigs at raves, clubs and warehouse parties playing alongside some of the world’s best. These include the likes of the Advent, Jeff Mills, Richie Hawtin, Dereck Carter, Steve Stoll and Armand Van Helden just to name a few. He has toured nationally with the likes of Adam Beyer, Cari Lekebush, Christian Smith, Patrick Lindsey, CJ Bolland and more recently Recycled Loops - Umek and Valentino, and Dave Clarke and Ade Fenton. It is through mutual desire, which brings Simon Digby and fellow Dj/Producer Will E Tell together. Together they are the heart of the Melbourne born label WET Musik. Here they combine their efforts and dedicate full time to studio work and music production. The first two shows presented by WET Musik were enormously successful The last Wet Musik Party at Melbourne’s infamous Storey Hall saw Simon Digby and Will E Tell incorporating their studio gear and turntables to deliver a world class audio/visual semi-live performance.
