This is an interview with Sasha and John Digweed, produced for the South West Four Festival:

To coincide with their only joint UK festival performance this summer we are very pleased to bring you Sasha & John Digweeds first joint video interview in many years!

Usually shying away from video interviews we were lucky enough to catch this legendary duo on a recent trip to London. As both DJs are veterans to South West Four and as they are rarely are interviewed together, we are absolutely chuffed to be able to bring you this exclusive as the duo discuss their first joint UK festival performance together in two years, life on the road, their individual projects and more.
