Holy shit. Sasha killed it at Silo tonight in Dallas. I was a little wary at first because I haven't loved all of his recent sets this year, and I wondered how it'd go without Digweed...but I had nothing to worry about. What a night.
He brought it dark and heavy, like 2000-era pounding prog (think Communicate), perfect for the warehouse vibe. He started pretty hard and after an hour and a half in, it was absolutely furious on the dancefloor, relentless punishment in the best possible way. Honestly more of what I'd expect from a Digweed set, but still had plenty of those signature Sasha euphoric melodies floating on top throughout. Easily one of my favorite DJ sets I've ever seen, the energy was unreal. I danced my ass off the entire time. Wife loved it too! Hell of a set for her first one!
Nice venue, great crowd, Sasha was clearly having a blast and the crowd was loving it. Most people were there to dance, phones kept to a minimum which was nice.
Everything I could've wanted in a Sasha set. If he plays at Silo again I want to fly back down for it, totally worth it. Only way it could've been better is if they ease up the subs a bit (pretty typical though) and of course if Diggers was there. Get better John!
