    Sasha - Fundacion CD (more information)

    (Apologies if this was already posted somewhere here - I searched and couldn't find it)

    taken from: http://www.trance.nu/v3/news_show.php?id=3054

    --------------

    2004 Grammy Award Nominee Sasha returns with the highly anticipated follow-up to the hottest and most critically acclaimed electronic music album of 2004: Involver. To be clear, the most exciting thing about this release is that this is not "Involver 2", the Involver concept is Sasha finding the space between artist, producer, and DJ. Fundacion on the other hand, is a whole new take on DJing. He's given up the turntables and CD players in exchange for a custom designed mixing setup that uses the Ableton "Live" software and a one of a kind controller that Sasha has dubbed "MAVEN" to create a never before heard kind of mixing.

    To showcase this new technology and its sonic capablities, Sasha launched a bi-coastal residency (at New York's Crobar and Los Angeles's Avalon) with the closing party in New York being the launch party for the fruition of the entire endeavor: the Fundacion mix CD.

    Fundacion will be the recorded version of what Sasha has been doing live at his residencies: effortless on-the-fly re-edits, mash ups, and flawless blends.

    Tracklist
    1. Badger - Rise of The Machines
    2. Adam Johnson - 4 Squares

    11. Mandy - Jah
    12. Playgroup - Behind The Wheel (Electroca$h Mix)
    13. Freeform 5 - Electromagnetic (Tiefshwarz)
    14. Closer - Music (Ewan Pearson Mix)

    It looks like it will be only one CD. But I'll probably still have to get it....

    I'm still not convinced.

    I'd rather see Sasha live.

          Those of us who live in places like eastern Germany don't have that option, unfortunately. :wink:

          Although I have to say I'm a little disappointed to see the exact same transition (Behind the Wheel -> Electromagnetic) as is in the Proton set from Orlando. It's the highlight of the Orlando set for me, but I wouldn't expect anything from the freely broadcasted set to also end up in the professionally released mixed CD.

            I agree with you Doc. Although I cannot get enough of that 'Electromagnetic' remix - it's just one of 'those' tunes.

              Is it released? I've looked on discogs.com and all I can find is some old 2x10" of "Electromagnetic", but no Tiefschwarz remix. Absolutely stunning track.

                No, everything I've seen still says [CDR] or [White]. I did find one chart (not sure how credible it is) that lists London-based Ultimate Dilemma as the label that has signed it. That's the same label that originally released 'Electromagnetic'. We'll see though; I definitely want to have a copy of it.

                  Hopefully do both... see Sasha live (roll on 21st May) and will buy the mix. After initial reservations Involver just grew and grew, a future classic mix. Fundacion has a lot to live up to.

                          Sweet! I think a single disc mix CD will be just fine. Many times dual disc mix CD's have one CD that's good and the other is so so.

                              Anyone got any more info on this 'one of a kind controller that Sasha has dubbed "MAVEN" '? Sounds like it's designed to interface directly with Abelton, am I right?
