Re: Sasha is awesome

would be interesting if he were to be asked to do a "masterpiece" comp

Re: Sasha is awesome

It's interesting listening to the 6 mix by Sasha, and he continuously mentions tracks he didn't use in Involver 3. Judging from the tracks featured in this mix, and on Involver 3, it's easy to see that the Involver mix is much more slower in BPM and the bass is more mellowed.

I think he just lacked direction with Involver and over worked tracks by the sounds of things. Also, the MOS factor could have had a big influence in it, probably usual artists in MOS will probably take 1 week to make an mix album, where Sasha takes atleast 2 hours to warm up.

I always questioned if there was ever a point to the beatless mix (CD 2 in Involver 3)

Since 2005, I think somehow, the Ableton did a great damage to sasha,
he lost the touch, and changed his sound drastically.
He can have some good sets but 1 or 2 from 5,
Years ago He was very high on top, He is pure class but now,
I dont know what I can expect from him.
I hope he find the light in a recent future.

Aren't we post-Ableton now? Could've sworn he was feeling rejuvenated at rediscovering some new CDJ The tools can hardly be blamed if he's lacking the motivation and focus.

When you meet the simplicity of the stuff, you become lazy,
you lose some kind of sense to mixing live (cd-in cd-out)
picking the right tracks. create an atmosphere, bla bla.
I said it before, like you, I think he is out of focus,
and if he are playing cds again, i hope He finds the motivation again.

actually in a way they do because if everyone stops going to see him or people stop buying his records...well you can work it out for yourself ( never going happen though )

I should have quoted Illuminate, because my post was in response to his. Moreover, our opinions can matter to each other, but not matter at all to Sasha the artist. you know what I'm saying? If Sasha enjoys what he's doing, which I assume that he does, then certainly he has earned the right to pursue that. Since he's given us so much already.

Re: Sasha is awesome

Sasha's magic was the alchemy of mixing two records together in a way that took your breath away. Vinyl kept it simple .. great batch of records he knew inside out and we get GU 009.

This was pre-Youtube, pre-Beatport and pre-Soundcloud. With explosion of the internet you can ID what he's playing, hit the sync button or throw things into Traktor - anyone can DJ or pre-burn a set on CD.

To be fair he's tried to move with the times .. but the motivation and love of music has to come from within. Not sure he has the same passion and enthusiasm as 10 years ago.

LNoE is a good step forward ... shame there's not another NYC residency to help re-invigorate things and kick him out of his comfort zone.
