Just listened to Sasha's new Involver mix BIG let down mate!! Who else feels this way?? To much deep house crap & vocals, their was a time that this guy was untouchable, everything he touched turned to Gold it seemed! Still have the Ibiza GU mix on rotation in my car. Had really high hopes for this release to put him back at #1 but it's really a reflection of what he's been playing most recently, a lot of deep house vocal tracks or whatever you want to call that garbage, just the same stuff everyone else is playing out there, nothing different, he should keep listening to that deep shit at home, puts me to sleep!! I was never into that in the old days or now. I got into Progressive because of Sasha & John Digweed, same thing happened to Oakenfold, went commercial trance, nothing special at all, play same crap all them other billion trance djs are playing. John Digweed seems to be the only old school progressive dj keeping it real in the game these days. Can anyone out there recommend some real cool up and coming Progressive djs & not that Swedish House Mafia crap either not prog house at all, just Boring commercial music, poor excuse for edm. Deep house is boring filler music for old farts.

Re: Sasha Involver 3 SUCKS, i'm sorry
Maybe we have to depress him more ^^. Remember when Invol2ver came out. There was a launch party recorded in London. It was a first class suicide mix
.
It started with this track:
"Computer games don’t affect kids: I mean if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we’d all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music."Comment

The man should never consider again to make an album without Charlie involved,
that's what use to make his productions unstoppable, its the magic duo itself.
As for cool progressive DJ's, one that should be mentioned of course is Eelke Klejin,
you probably already know.
Stumble upon this one, one of my favorite tunes from last year.

^ Killer tune.
Can I recommend the Argentinean DJs Marcelo Vasami and Martin Garcia? Also Hernan Cattaneo if you're you're not familiar with him. They all play nice prog house.Comment

Re: Sasha Involver 3 SUCKS, i'm sorry
Guy j, Henry Saiz , Luis Junior , Cid inc. to name a few. There is a huge number of great Djs out there who are carrying on the progressive tradition !!

Re: Sasha Involver 3 SUCKS, i'm sorry
Not to be a hater but i used to love hernan a few years back. just saw him again@warung about a week ago and all i can say is that it was extremely boring.. mediocre tunes and vibe.. i left after a few hours extremely dissapointed.
a true argentinian artist who has kept it real and been extremely consistent for years is Ricky Ryan..If you dont know him def check out his sets..Superb mixing, flow and programming.Comment

Re: Sasha Involver 3 SUCKS, i'm sorry
Hernan live sets tends to be really boring @ times.
Sounds weird tho, cause most DJ's love playing @ warung, showcasing their best !.Comment

Re: Sasha Involver 3 SUCKS, i'm sorry
^^^ How many live sets have you seen ?? Just added up how many I have seen him and it's 18 !!
I have never heard him boring , I think there were two that I wasn't quite as keen on. Both more because of the techno content I think. One was actually a really good set, but he played quite a bit of music I didn't like as much . In fact I was talking to a techo DJ when he was playing and we were both commenting on what good techno it was . 
It was totally appropriate for the crowd and the time though. He is very crowd reactive The other 16 were all amazing for me. !! The majority 4 hours plus
He normally does do great sets at Warung according to reports. Haven't been lucky enough to see him there. La Huaka the following night was amazing , once again according to reports.
9.00am in the morning.

Re: Sasha Involver 3 SUCKS, i'm sorry
^ from this point of view, sounds fair enough, but then it all comes down to taste.
I don't necessarily find them boring, but heard it from lot of people during and after a gig.
I remember one of his recent live sets in Athens were many didn't like his direction of the mix,
but i really enjoyed it !
Is just that i hate when clubbers come to listen to a particular DJ and they don't understand the music.
There are very few that's actually ear trained
to this type of electronic music @ least in my country.
They are mostly mainstream, which isn't bad.
Some come just to have a good time, others come for the music, some for both.
But a good crowd who also knows for what he came for is really influencing the DJ and driving his gig to a better level.
Since we brought boring gigs to the table, i've been to 3 Sasha disappointing gigs, and he played for almost 2 hours. He looked tired, and not into place. But ibiza and Rhodes 2011, great gigs !.
Heres one question for you Trick
whats the best place you've been, were you enjoyed being withat type of crowd mostly ?Comment

Re: Sasha Involver 3 SUCKS, i'm sorry
does sasha and andother djs have debts ? how much they are taking forthe gig? i think that they have enough money for good life, but no one have balls to set new trends and fuck the whole industry palying 120bpm boring stuff. I think the whole hope is in young argentinians guys like ryan,garcia,vasani. sasha and others are just too old to make change.Comment
