Re: Sasha booed in Lisbon

Over here it was more just "go home" and "you suck", amidst booing and whistling: If you don´t believe it you´ve obviously never been to a latin country, or at least to a live music show in a latin country.

Kinetic - I didn't even know that people in Portugal liked EDM that much (please don't take that the wrong way, or as a slight on your Country) - on the plus side, at least Sasha didn't show the arrogance of Jose Mourinho by putting his finger to his lips like in your avatar ! Didn't you post about Dark Evil Sasha appearing in Portugal last year ?

Re: Sasha booed in Lisbon

I disagree entirely... have you ever looked around at who these "people" are and what they probably want to hear?

Also, having one's own style would be a moot point if you were merely trying to placate the masses, wouldnt it?

A dj can have their own style and still appease the crowd. It's about extending the crowds tastes and playing tracks that might, if heard outside the set, fall beyond said crowds typical taste. That said, how difficult would it have been for him to play a few tribalesque tracks to get the crowd into night and then introduce them into new tracks or tracks that he personally found to be great? There is a lot of power up in that booth. You can change peoples perceptions of their own personal taste in music in mere few hours. Sticking to a preorchestrated set or ignoring the audience is not what the whole experience should be about.

Can't we all just agree on mass mind control and roofies?

But at the same time, someone with a name/draw like that shouldn't totally "have" to "play to the crowd." If it was a local/no-name type DJ, then sure, you don't do such, good luck finishing your set, much less coming back again.

I would think even if Sasha did do that to get the crowd going, the minute he switches off they become restless again; rather have it be the way it was done then to play up and down like that for the whole set.

Its common knowledge that Sasha hates those big shows anyway (although I'm sure the payday offsets this). He has always excelled in intimate, dark, sweaty and dingy clubs.

Re: Sasha booed in Lisbon

Given Sasha's stature in the dance music scene, he probably went up and played thinking the crowd is familiar with his music and style. He was there to deliver what a typical Sasha crowd would have expected. That's why there are all these big names at parties. Cos the organizers expect the names and their style of music, to bring in the respective crowds who do appreciate the music.

Sasha's probably more surprised than anyone else at the party. But given the tracks he had with him, he probably stuck to what he's been playing in recent times, as opposed to playing a set that went all over the place trying to please the crowd. I've heard DJs who begin a set with something in mind, failed, tried to reprogram the set, failed; and the night just went pearshaped.

Hey at the end of the day, you just can't please everyone.

I agree 90%, but Sasha has LOTS of tracks with him as they all fit nicely onto a hard drive

Re: Sasha booed in Lisbon

With Sasha the crowd gets what it wants
if the crowd doesnt get it, they feel slighted
but if the crowd is clued in, he rocks it like no tommorrow
not sure what the video of him and digweed was in Argentina last year
but checking him working the mix in front of 50,000 people
that's his high, get him going with the avaitor shades on
and he will make you follow.

Your attempt at distracting me with sandwich animation has failed...

Best advice ever from the old to the young has been and will always be, I thought I knew everything when I was your age, and now when I look back, I didnt have a damn clue.

There may quite well be many subjects where you know a lot more than I do in this world, or things you have more life experience with. However if you are going to compare things now to how they were "back in the day", and you get called out on not having been to either, admit the facts and simply state that from what you have heard, this is how you feel... and most importantly, dont expect a whole lot of respect for advocating the boo-ing of any DJ for doing their thing... you are likely to get several lengthy responses from a faggot who knows when he is right
