    Report - Sasha : Sankeys (Manchester) last night

    Frankly .. all I can say is that the Man Like was bang on form last night and hearing the best he has in ages ... but then those who love his Malta set already know this right ?





    It seems like Sankeys brings out the best in Sasha ... the club is intimate, crammed and (frankly) a bit of a sh1thole .. but hey, I was there for the music anyway ! To give you a feel the above pic was taken just by me.

    I'm pleased to report that this was the best Sasha's played live for the last couple of years. Out with the clicky minimal ... in with melodies and some vocals. He stayed locked in the zone (with that 110% concentration frown on him) - started with w. nice laid back vibe a la Zen afterparty and built things - no obvious tracks or crowd pleasers. Just layering the music and building track to track ... soma amazing tunes in there ... he played an awesome Xpanderes-que number , which may be a newie he's saving for the WMC.

    Played also Guy J's "Pushin Too Hard" along with other Sky Club tracks and after hitting his alloted 4-hours Sasha played an extra 40 mins (I had a cab booked and had to tell the taxi driver that there was a queue at the cloak room !)

    Finished with Ladytron, Butch - 1000 Lords (Zoo Brazil Remix), Paul Kalkbrenner - Gebrünn Gebrünn (Special Berlin Calling Edit) ... then a lovely version of Friendly Fire's "Paris" (possibly not the Aeroplane version below, but it did have the female vocal)

    ... topped things off with Blackfeel Wite - Silence (1st track on Malta ... which sounds even better at the end of the night !).

    Awesome !

    Oh .. and it was nice to bump into Domnal (Daniel) from [ms] - really nice guy and he trainspotted far more than me - I was lost in the music. Hopefully he'll add some more ID's.

    Anyone going to the WMC you're in for a treat if you're going to the Shelbourne gig or Boat Party (Sakio ?).

    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.

    Wow he played Friendly Fire? That's unexpected, as was most of that Malta set. Must be nice to end the night with that.

    I got pics and video. But I will upload them in the morning. I need to smoke this nice phat joint and just close my eyes and replay the amazingness in my head.

      Sounds like a great night. I really can't wait for WMC just to hear some of these tracks live and get out of the cold weather.

                      holy shit this night was unreal... absolutely stunning set from sasha, haven't got one bad thing to say about it, apart from the fact he played Ladytron...again.... it really was the best I've seen him play without a doubt!

                      the crowd were sound, was quite amusing to see this guy's reaction to sasha nicking his phone off him though hahaha...

                      so many tunes i didn't recognise, although i did get a lot of it on film... if anyone could ID them i'd appreciate it... i haven't uploaded them all yet, but here's a few, and keep your eyes out for the others i'm currently uploading too...

                      here's the one's i'm currently after:-














                      Tunes i recognised:

                      Tigerskin - Peter's secret weapon
                      Ladytron
                      Nhar - Mithril
                      Kalkbrenner - Gebrunn Gebrunn
                      Butch - 1000 Lords (Zoo Brazil mix)
                      Pole Folder - Love Chemical (Miquell Santos mix)

                      few others but can't remember right now!

                      UNREAL, JUST ABSOLUTELY UNREAL!
                      since 1984.

                        You may want to not dance the next time you record DJ's, unless you're using a steadycam of course!

                            Great review Si, not much to be added really. He was blistering all night. Very similar to how he played at the Ministry 2 weeks ago. Built it up early on and that was that, relentless stuff. He played Capricorn '20hz' (cheers coliver1980!!) just after Ladytron around 5am which is an amazing record to hear out with those drums echoing around the club. Also played Paul Kalkbrenner - Altes Kamuffel(Special Berlin Calling Edit) which is a fuck1ing booming record, that went down a storm. Ended on Panoptic-Surface and did the same as the Ministry where he just stopped the record and walked out of the booth!

                            Alex some spots from your great videos:

                            http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MnFKIxhO_8 Marc Romboy - Sonora (Patrice Baumel Remix)

                            http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Avgo9M7Lisk Tigerskin - Peter's Secret Weapon (Original Mix)

                            http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjRibD7GIDw Nomad in the Dark -Attia
                            Great to meet you Si and your Brother too, you're alright for a red It was the Aeroplane remix of Friendly Fires he played towards the end.

                            As Si said, those headed for Miami are going to be in for a brilliant time. Sasha really is on one at the moment.

                              I won't be in WMC and I won't be in Miami but I do look forward to some banging sets coming from the man if this night is any indication of what he is gearing up for.
                              The sailors of the United States Navy are among the most disciplined, devoted, and well-trained fighting men the world has ever known. They drink gasoline and piss fire, The spit bullets and shit bombs, and will swim across the ocean with a knife in their teeth just for the chance to carve up those that threaten their homeland.
