Sasha @ Better Days, Toronto 28/11/1196

[Jay Robinson]

This has been up online for about a while but whenever i've clicked on it the t/list put me off - however, upon listening it seems the tracklist was completely wrong and it turns out this is one of the best sets from Sasha i've ever heard - took me right back to when i was following the Northern Exposure tour everywhere - I don't know all that many of the tracks which is a rarity for me for this era so be cool to get some IDs ... Flow and mixing are both spot on - starts off techy then goes more trippy and acidic before ramping up to more usual prog stuff. I suspect there's some Pablo Gargano and Hook records stuff in there as i recongise some things but my drug addled brain can't recall titles..

Well worth a listen..

That isn't the set that originated from here, which was from Better Days. That Erik, seems to make a habit of relabeling sets. I will download the mixcloud set and give it a listen.

DJ Sasha John E @ Better Days Productions UK, Good Life, Toronto, Canada 28-11-96

Re: Sasha @ Better Days, Toronto 28/11/1196

would this be his site - house - Toronto Rave Mixtape Archive

It's a link to a load of Toronto Rave mixtapes and the above mix is on there, listed as the better days mix.. the date of the above tracks would be more in line with the November date that's on that site (and Erick's mixcloud) as I know he was playing these tracks around then as that's when i was going out a ton - i'd suspect Erick's labelling is correct in this instance

The way it's t/listed at the moment:

1996-11-28 - Sasha, John E @ Better Days, Good Life, Toronto | DJ sets tracklists on MixesDB

the majority of those tracks came out just before / during summer - he wasn't playing those towards the end of the year

what about the first part btw? any known t/list around for that?

The original Better Days mix was posted on Oldskool Anthemz by John E, which is where the flyer also came from. I think that the Toronto site is relabeling them.

I may be wrong but I don't think that he started playing that Slacker track until August 1996. It appears on the EM, but not on the Atlanta set. It also appears on the set recorded at Mark Hunts in September.

I really do think he's mistaken if he did indeed post it stating that- esp something like BBE - Sasha started playing that in March 96 and wouldn't still be playing it in November. I clearly rememebr seeing Sasha in November and December a few times and Arkana, RITM of Milk, Lost without you etc are all in line with that period

Re: Sasha @ Better Days, Toronto 28/11/1196

I suppose that the dude thanking Sasha at the end of the set wouldn't change your opinion. This is someone mislabeling mixes to get exposure for their website.

Re: Sasha @ Better Days, Toronto 28/11/1196

no no - you get me wrong - i'm not syaing it ISN'T a Sasha set, of course it is. The fact is, the dates don't match - it's a set from the middle of that year not from November..

BBE had already been in the UK charts by September! There's no way Sasha would keep playing it (it reached the top 5 if i'm not mistaken)

Re: Sasha @ Better Days, Toronto 28/11/1196

Yet he didn't play them 3 weeks later for the legendary Tripple J Mix Up, which included Swell and Scared.

He didn't play BBEon the JJ mix and it didn't include Swell either (i presume you're talking about this one... https://soundcloud.com/rave_on/sasha...-tour-01011997 ) - it did however, include Arkana and Jayn Hanna...

unless i'm missing something?

I wasn't making reference to BBE

Re: Sasha @ Better Days, Toronto 28/11/1196

yea sorry - thought you were refering to my last post - wherever it is actually from, it's definitely from that period - and what are the chances of someone purposefully mislablling a set years after the fact but managing to tag roughly the right month on?

Nice one on the ID's - hadn't heard that Amorph one before..
