Re: Dear Sasha, (review 2/4/06 DC)

I have not seen Sasha play since the early nineties (AAHZ), with that being said, I do however listen to the sets that are posted. I have never really been a Sasha fan or a Digweed fan, more like a Fortier fan. But I view all 3 of them in the same light, they push the boundaries further and further. One time I talked to Chris many years ago he was selling a whole bunch of records, and I asked him why? He said to be a dj you've got to progress with it. Which just summed it up for me about him. Whether you live for those old times or the new, they really haven't changed, the music has, and so has the taste for music. So I say, let Sasha do his thing, he is pushing envelopes just like the rest of the dj's out there. As far as the computer goes, well I like to watch the dj manipulate the mix, whether it be vinyl or cd, you never know what you might learn from some of them....

Those were the days....

"the days" were way before Northern Exposure was released imo, don't want to sound like an old fart but nothing will ever come close to Sasha at Renaissance circa 1992

^^^ oh great aged one, you wouldn't happen to have any live sets from way back in '92. i don't think i have heard much before '98 or so. perhaps a full retrospect of sasha's sets and dj career could help add perspective to your well stated arguement. i'm sure that if sasha was still playing the same sets as back in the early 90's you would have stopped listening to him a long time ago. gotta change with the times.

dude, i have loads of old Sasha sets going back to '89, i converted my whole tape collection to .mp3, hit me up if you would be interested
But you are right, if he was still playing the same sets i would have been bored long ago, i might be biased, but whatever Sasha has done over the years i have pretty much been well into.

I'm from a different school when it comes to going to clubs. Pardon me for asking but surely you go to hear good music and dance no? That's what I go for, I only look in the direction of the dj as that is what everyone else does, I don't specifically try to get a spot where I can watch the dj. that's just pointless. DJ's are only the conduit for the music.

I say you have to question what you are going out for if it's to stand there watching another male play with a pc when all around you there are fit birds, people having fun and quality music is blasting out of the speakers

Re: Dear Sasha, (review 2/4/06 DC)

like i said stay home and listen to GU13 again, too many people in the club anyway. his live sets are only getting better and more personalized. sasha still interacts with the crowd. he was clapping along and smiling whenever the crowd was eggin him on at his last nyc show. ya'all's a bunch o drama queens... dear sasha, you've hurt me for the last time.... blah blah blah.... if i were him i would be laughin at you.

guess you can't find the humor in the original post

yes he sucked on saturday but trust me i still have faith in old mr. coe. he had a bad night but i guess a little criticism brings out all his little minnions that think he can't falter.

Re: Dear Sasha, (review 2/4/06 DC)

to add to this discussion, rather than just beat up on each other...

I find his music to be constantly evolving (aside from that repetitive lull around 2002-early 2004). He's gotten into a software that allows him to be a producer on the fly. He could take every track and just chop it up however he sees fit. When I first heard him play with ableton (fall-2004), he still seemed to be finding his way around it. Now he's found his mark and is superb in his on the fly remixing, but has yet to find that flow of the classic Sasha epic journey that moves you in waves throughout a night. One thing at a time. From what I heard last week at Crobar NYC last week, it was the most melodic and journey-like set I'd heard from him in a while (granted it got a bit choppy later on). I'm more than willing to give the man like some more time to find that zone again and in the meantime, even his not "up to par/expectations" sets will wipe just about every other djs sets away.

Is it possible for a set that falls short of (grandiose) expectations to still be a great set?!
