-Sasha and John Digweed (above, in Buenos Aires) are getting back together for a tour this spring. It turns out that the duo's appearance at this year's Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival is part of its "Club Spring Tour 2008." The first date is March 27 at Miami's Mansion.

"While Delta Heavy was billed as an arena tour it was the theatres and clubs where John and I had the most fun and where we felt our sound worked best," says Sasha. " So this time around we decided to focus on those venues. Over the last 6 years we have played together a lot in LA and NY, and whilst I love those cities, I'm really looking forward to returning to places like DC, Seattle and Minneapolis, where John and I haven't shared the decks since 2002. Plus, spending time on the road with John on a bus touring the country is something I just couldn't turn down."
