    my sasha/wink @ fundacion friday may 6 reaction....

    not sure what anyone thought of in retrospect....

    firstly, i feel robbed i had to endure wink..what a waste, what garbage. i paid to see sasha. i did know wink was a "guest" but thought for sure he had gotten better since his "re emergence" . no luck. he was the same boring soft kick playing-nothin-new boring turd i remember from years ago. he even had to play mixes of "higher state of.." and "are you ready". whatever. (note to wink: there are more sounds to engage an audience with than come out of an 808 and a 303 in the year 2005.)

    drugs are the only thing that probably would have made it palatable but thats sad. worse, sasha put him smack in the middle of his two sets. it wasnt even a proper continous sasha evening. heres one two hour set..oh..and hers another with wink in the middle. do this with digweed and fine..thats another story. NOT with josh wink. just my 2 cents.

    did anyone enjoy sashas 2 sets? one more than the other? i thought he played too fast..some good tracks though..its sasha. his opening track was fantastic!! very very cool. the crowd was going nuts!! had some sort of countdown in it. probably an original? thought the room was way too boomy too. things def got lost.

    whoever ordered that god-awful weather needs to be shot. cold and rainy in may?!! probably the same person responsible for $10 drinks....nyc..only for the hardcore.

    go safely

    ive also seen wink a few times. and each time i thought he was boring and boring.
    too much bass and too many weird noises. not music imo.
    glad to hear at least sasha rocked.
    didnt he pull the same style show with lavelle in nyc recently?

      wonderful. i fucking love your logic and i am sorry you had to deal with some strange form of neo-nazism. i would of sent a counter part to take josh wink out, a broken finger would do fine. in regards to everything else, sometimes you need to bend over and take one for the team. life is just not that simple any more, i am always looking for that big red button.

      anyhow. welcome to mercurynation. please come back. you are my new friend.
      dead, yet alive.

          I couldn't bear the thought of having another evening like the one with Lavelle. So I opted to save some cash and some of my sanity and pass on the evening,...that's right, I didn't go. I still can't beleive it. But I feel better about it because I can't stand Josh Wink live. I call him the theft of electro. Taking credit for stuff that's not his. You'd think Sasha would pull in some tighter guys to share the bill with. James Z and Digweed, now those nights will forever go down in the history books. Amazing sets!
          There's always next time. Sorry you had a bum night, and welcome to MS!!
          Peace.

                I've always thought his songs were always really long winded. Too much repitition and no build up at all with them. Just building up with the levels of the 303. Boring. Hey, Josh...there are these wonderful things out there called keyboards and they make all kinds of new and wonderful sounds. Why not try to use one!

                  Seems a funny line-up ... you'd think Sasha would have picked DJ's that compliment him.

                  As for putting the guest slap bang in the middle of things - that's nuts ... what happens if he's playing a blinder ?

                  This release was mastered direct from vinyl at the request of the DJ and as such features natural sound characteristics of this medium such as record surface noise.

                    Agreed. It was ok at best. I can honestly say that I don't remember one song. They all sounded the same. Not much to really dance to either. I felt like every time I looked at the booth, Josh Wink was on. Had I known that prior to going, I wouldn't have gone, let alone get bottle service for $125 a person (actually double that since we paid for my friend's bachelor party). Oh well. I had a good time regardless, but the tunes left a lot to be desired.

                      i would like to say that Josh "SUCK ASS" Wink was horrible. He was so bad that while he was playing i had to leave the main room more than once because he was making me ill. He was also so bad that when i got home i threw away all of my CD's i had of him in the trash.
                      I dont know what Sasha was thinking but it was bad!!!!
                      3 hours of travel to see Josh "SUCK ASS" live. I should of stayed home.
                      The only thing that was good was the last 2 hours. Sasha made it all better.
                      Also the crowd was weird!!!! I have never seen so many rude people in one room before in my life. Every time i go to NYC it is great, but for some reason that night was horrible, and Josh "SUCK ASS" just made it 100 times worse.
                      I KEPT WANTING TO GO BACK TO THE CLUB JUST TO SMACK HIM AROUND A FEW TIMES.

                        I was there...WHY SASHA? WHY? The last two times I've been to Crobar NYC Lavalle & Wink completely ruined the vibe. I've been on construction sites that sounded better than what Winkie was throwing at us.

                        When Sasha first came on, I thought I was in for a treat from his first hour. He had the floor grooving...Then comes Josh the "JackHammer" Wink...good thing I was fucked up...I did stay til the last track...Sasha did make it somewhat worthwhile!
                        We are who we are!

                            I guess its a good thing I didn't go. But for those who were disappointed, Sasha & James Zabiela next month @ Crobar. I'll be hitting this one up most likely.

                              I'll be unpopular and say a few things...

                              Sasha's first set was droning, canned, and dissapointing.

                              Every Fundacion party has Sasha play for 2 hours, and then the guest come on.

                              Wink's set was not BAD at all, just not what most people wanted to hear I bet, but I really enjoyed it quite a bunch... leading me to give more detail than was put in earlier... Sasha came back on at 5am and played back to back with wink for the remainder of the night... but during wink's set Sasha (i was down front center and saw all of this mind you) was digging it like crazy and watching closely to check out how and what he was doing... So opinions aside.... let the masses know that wink was on point, just not what most wanted to hear.

                              Sasha did get bonus points for dropping into Halcyon-and-on-and-on and looking down at me and smiling BIG TIME when I named that tune in 2 notes and it was a lovely dancefloor moment when he winked back at my "WERK!" shout. All in all it was a decent night, although I am going to get arrested soon for beating messy asians to pieces on the dancefloor should they continue to fall over onto me, not to mention the long island bitches (I just pull their hair when they step on my feet with their ugly heels). One fundacion left, lets hope for a good one...
