=== Bedrock: Club Night, Label, and Production Duo === ==== The Club Night ==== During the late 1990s, Digweed launched the '''Bedrock''' club night as a regular event at '''Heaven''' in London's Charing Cross, with a parallel night at '''The Beach''' in Brighton. Running on Thursday evenings at Heaven and Fridays in Brighton, the nights became a vital showcase for the underground progressive and tech-house sound, featuring guest DJs including [[Danny Howells]], [[Hernán Cattáneo]], Phil Thompson, and Chris Fortier. As Digweed's international schedule expanded, the regular club nights wound down in the mid-2000s, though anniversary events continued to be held at Heaven. A tenth anniversary celebration at [[Matter]] in London on 10 October 2008 featured a near ten-hour set by Digweed. ==== Bedrock Records ==== Digweed founded '''Bedrock Records''' in 1999, initially to release music that reflected the sound of the club nights and his own productions with Nick Muir. The label quickly established itself as one of the most respected imprints in underground electronic music, known for its consistent quality, restrained aesthetic, and minimal but striking sleeve design — all provided by long-term collaborator '''Malone Design'''. Over more than two decades Bedrock has released music by artists including [[Danny Howells]], [[Guy J]], King Unique, and Jonathan Kaspar, and is widely regarded as a badge of credibility in the underground producer community. The label has operated under several imprints — '''Bedrock Breaks''', '''B_Rock''', and '''Black (Bedrock)''' — and expanded into digital distribution with Bedrock Digital. Guy J's '''Lost & Found''' imprint also operates under the Bedrock umbrella, continuing the label's tradition of supporting melodic, progressive-adjacent artists. In 2022, Bedrock celebrated its 200th digital release with remixes by Jonathan Kaspar of Digweed and Muir's "Live Off The Grid", a track drawn from their collaborative album with novelist '''John Twelve Hawks'''. ==== Bedrock (Production Duo) ==== As a production outfit, '''Bedrock''' is the partnership of Digweed and long-time collaborator and co-writer '''Nick Muir'''. The duo's first significant track was "For What You Dream Of" (1993), which reached the UK Singles Chart and was subsequently included in the soundtrack to [[Danny Boyle]]'s ''[[Trainspotting]]'' (1996), giving the track a cultural reach far beyond the dancefloor. Their production output as Bedrock includes: {| style="border-collapse:collapse; width:100%; font-size:0.95em;" ! style="background:#333; color:#fff; padding:6px 10px; text-align:left;" | Year ! style="background:#333; color:#fff; padding:6px 10px; text-align:left;" | Title ! style="background:#333; color:#fff; padding:6px 10px; text-align:left;" | Notes |- | style="padding:6px 10px; border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;" | 1993 | style="padding:6px 10px; border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;" | "For What You Dream Of" | style="padding:6px 10px; border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;" | UK chart entry; featured on the ''Trainspotting'' soundtrack (1996) |- | style="padding:6px 10px; border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;" | 1997 | style="padding:6px 10px; border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;" | "Set in Stone" / "Forbidden Zone" | style="padding:6px 10px; border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;" | UK Singles Chart |- | style="padding:6px 10px; border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;" | 1999 | style="padding:6px 10px; border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;" | "Heaven Scent" | style="padding:6px 10px; border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;" | Launched Bedrock Records; title references the Heaven club residency; featured in the film ''Groove'' (2000) |- | style="padding:6px 10px; border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;" | 2000 | style="padding:6px 10px; border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;" | "Voices" | style="padding:6px 10px; border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;" | UK Singles Chart |- | style="padding:6px 10px; border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;" | 2001 | style="padding:6px 10px; border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;" | ''Beautiful Strange'' EP | style="padding:6px 10px; border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;" | Title track featured in the 2004 film ''What the Bleep Do We Know!?'' |- | style="padding:6px 10px; border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;" | 2003 | style="padding:6px 10px; border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;" | Spider-Man: The New Animated Series (soundtrack) | style="padding:6px 10px; border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;" | Full score for the MTV animated drama series |- | style="padding:6px 10px; border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;" | 2014 | style="padding:6px 10px; border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;" | ''The Traveler'' (with John Twelve Hawks) | style="padding:6px 10px; border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;" | Collaborative album with the anonymous novelist; based on his ''The Traveler'' book series |} The Bedrock duo have also produced remixes for [[New Order]], [[The Orb]], [[Underworld (band)|Underworld]], Way Out West, and [[Satoshi Tomiie]], among others.
