-- Sasha-your say
Pages (5): « 1 2 [3] 4 5 »
Well to be honest, I think this is just a matter of tastes... those who enjoy and listen to trance the most will definitely not say many good things about Sasha. In my opinion his latest sets have been way too sick... I received today my Avalon CD's at work and I loved them, the flow, the tracks, the whole mood of both cds are great.
Of course, there are other sets that lacked perhaps some kind of flow and got lost in the middle of them... Which is why I wouldn't rate him as the best so far this year but I'd definitely put him somewhere around top 5, but this is just my opinion.
I think Sasha was always tight up until maybe mid 2005, then his tracklists became bland and repetitive due to all that electro house bandwagon.
I love his stuff from 2002-2004 where he spun progressive house. Of course we can't forget his Twilo times either which were some of his best.
I haven't listened too him lately but i still hold respect for what i have listened before.

It made me laugh when Airdrawndagger got slated in a lot of music reviews as "never being good enough to live up to the hype surrounding it". That album transcends what most DJs have released as artiste albums (exceptions occur, BT et al). WTF did they want, exactly?
I posted in the thread Purple linked to earlier about seeing him and finding his set very boring, but then not everyone hits the groove 100% of the time I guess.
Overall, he aint one of my favs, but still pwns a place in the hall of fame for services rendered for Airdrawndagger alone.

| Originally posted by GUBostonDubs Those are amazing sets and I agree with your point. Alot of the people around this board that say Sasha plays boring music expect him to play music like Gu 13 ibiza or the circa 1999 style trance that he used to play. The only criticism of sasha these days that I will agree with is the fact that he hasnt been playing as cutting edge sets lately ie. same old tracks he been playing for awhile and I dont care for the avalon live cd. The criticism that "Sasha only plays music for people whacked out on drugs" is clearly a stupid comment. He is not the best dj right now but he is still very close to the top. Top dj right now imo is definitely Danny Howells. |

He is definatley the most pimp of the top 10 DJ's. You just can't take that away from him.

Sasha is a very respected DJ in the history of trance. He is always polite, kind, and appreciative of his fans in the three interactions I've had with him.
I would only pray that he dump ableton and go back to vinyl. He used to electrify a crowd like no one else, and leave digweed and everyone else in the dust. But ableton just doesn't swing, and his sets now have no life, no spark. But sasha has always shown an ability to reinvent himself, and I have faith he may find his way again.

Sasha, he's got a lot of good tunes to his name (Bloodlock, Cloud Cuckoo, Wavy Gravy, ect ect) so I'd say he's a fairly decent producer, I generally like his productions a lot.
Personality, I've never met him or read any interviews with him (execpt one for Apple - didn't really tell much) but from what I can tell he seems like a good idea and I like his pro-view on technology in the scene.
Either then that, not much I can say really.
