    SASHA Announces "Fundacion" Residency at Crobar NYC

    From 1996 until 2001, DJs SASHA and John Digweed played a monthly residency at the legendary Manhattan nightclub Twilo which gave birth to a unique, unparalleled movement in dance music culture. This winter, the magic returns to clubdom as SASHA will take to the decks at New York City?s most progressive, exciting, entertaining, creative and techno-savy nightclub crobar for his brand new party, FUNDACION. Beginning with the announcement party on Friday, December 3 and every first Friday of the month thereafter--January 7 (opening party), February 4, March 4, April 1, May 6 and June 3 (closing party)--SASHA will bring himself, his music and his strong global fan base from around the world to dance to his hypnotic, high-energy sets on the 3000-plus capacity superclub capacity dance floor.


    Not only will SASHA?s residency reacquaint the New York club audienc
    e with his music, FUNDACION--which means foundation in Spanish--will serve as the introduction of an entirely new DJ technology. SASHA will play his trademark power-packed, emotional sets on a new custom-made controller created specifically for his Ableton Live set-up. Creating a live 100% digital experience, Sasha will be leaving turntables behind. The new controller will allow SASHA to not only to exhibit his stellar track selection and mixing skills, but to literally produce and remix music live. With the ability to sample, loop, and fuse elements from multiple songs at once through digital technology, SASHA will truly be revolutionizing the live DJ performance.


    ?I?m building a custom controller because I think the idea of DJing with a mouse isn?t very cool. Everything on the screen can be manipulated with this controller.? SASHA told LA City Beat (June 24-30, 2004). ?The accessibility has taken some of the mystery away from DJing,? he continues. ?I used to come to America and play for people; there was no way they could get those records, and so there was a uniqueness to my sound. Now it?s everywhere, but that pushes it to another level. The technology will move things forward and enable you to give unique performances every time you play. A set of Technics turntables and a mixer is not enough now. It?s time to move on.?


    SASHA?s ability to unleash magic through music will only be enhanced by crobar?s Phazon sound system, arguably the best in the world. crobar is at the epicenter of the burgeoning Chelsea nightlife area, and its incredible, over-the-top design dazzles club-goers aesthetically while offering them a full audio-sensory experience. With a creative energy buzzing in the air; a positive and friendly staff; atomic laser light shows that astound and amaze; and room for upwards of 3000 patrons, FUNDACION is certain to go down in history as the next great legend in dance music.

    Seems a bit risky entrusting his entire DJ set on a computer - even if it is a mac!

    I'd be interested to see this controller!

        I haven't checked out the Crobar in the city yet, but I've heard from many people that it sucks. Might have to check it out for myself one of those fridays. Last time I saw sasha was on the last Thanksgiving at Twilo, think it was 2000.
        ". . . Could it be that you would understand this beat to which we dance, more clearly had you been given the chance. So as you struggle to find the feel with your feet, ask yourself can you dance to my beat."

            crobar is not that bad...the door people are a pain in the ass but the space itself is cool. sound is not that great as the main room has really high ceilings and is relatively spacious. i've been down on sasha but i am excited for a monthly residency. he will undoubtedly experiment quite a bit.

                    check it out and see for yourself - it's the best big room in the city, for many reasons.

                    the only thing i don't like is the drink prices.

                    and when they have psycho bitch and teri bristol on six decks with their plaid brigade.
