thanks for backin me up M but dave and stips are right i don't know much about sash, i don't claim to, my comments were based on the thoughts of the night, and sash not as a producer but as a perfomer aswell, "I prefer" a dj that really gets into his music and by that i don't mean waving your hands in the air like a freakin idiot but when you see the top of his head above a computer screen it just doesn't inspire me. Obviously you're an avid fan... and with good reason... and i did make a point of not being a massive fan of prog... so take no offence, purely my oponion

Performance vs. performer debate? Subjective preference.


I did feel somewhat detached from the 'creative process' as it was difficult to simply watch and listen. One was merely forced to listen (or gaze at the visuals). As mentioned (elsewhere) I would have preferred those plasma's to have shown what was going on on Sashs's screen. But then we go from 'party' to somewhat geeky, don't we? Meh.

Redanka - Waves (e-mission mix).

Had fun dancing to that one.

Stipsy I can say that I do have a clue about sasha and as I said in my post his set fucking owned me but he was the single most shit boring dj i I have ever "seen". I loved it none the less because his set was pure genius ( i expected nothing less ) but he could very well have loaded up winamp and chatted on msn the whole time

You were there man, if they had put a mix disc of his in the cdj and walked away how would it have been any different?

from someone who knows
nuff said

Fukn awesome.
He wasnt AVB with the crowd, but the shit he was doing to the music more than made up for it.

Originally posted by pimp Not a truer word spoken. However, in his Sydney performance sasha was bouncing around a bit, and was dancing in the box while the DJ before him played Furry Freaks - Smooth. It's nice to see but the music is really all that matters. Less time prancing around means better quality music in my opinion. If people want to see a show, go to the theatre.

on the contrary, if all you went for is good music, sit at home behind your computer, pop on the headphones, save yourself an odd $50 and indulge in mp3 sets guaranteed to please? when heading out to see a dj, its a package deal you're up for. great atmosphere, crowd, music and showmanship. [none for which particular exceled for me]

that said, i do agree with dave. his music does speak for himself, however, his performance that night i found so uninspiring that i personally just needed something else to fill that void. animation would have been great. as wasted space noted, bang from the beginning. first 40 mins or so seemed directional, then it just seemed bland. big room prog. for 2 hrs i wouldn't have minded, but for 4.5 hrs, i guess i expected something special. usually if the music is great, i'm as drug induced as the topless anoerexic skinny guy with missing teeth.

mmm. think somewhere in there may be a contradiction.

bah, who cares. back to being a troglodyte and listening to the latest tunes on digweed's kiss show

p.s. how good was that encore
i know now who mylo is and that "death to rock and roll" is a kick ass album!
best thing since ulrich schnauss!

WERD

Yeah, that encore was brilliant. If Sasha got ya hooked on Mylo then it can't be all bad. His album is terrific and his remixes are mighty fine.

I have a recording of this set, is there a full tracklist compiled for it yet?

wow of the melb show? would love to get ahold of it if its decent sq...

missed this thread when it went by the last time (mostly due to my not having found ta yet) but i must say i was surprised and disappointed at sasha's performance (ie lack of any physical movement) at the metro, even while the music was great. first time seeing him, so just kind of wrote him off as 'like that', but saw him six weeks later on his home turf (and home time zone!) at fabric in mid december for a six-hour set, and he was a completely different animal... smiling, waving, really getting into it and *really* working the crowd. being four feet from him didnt hurt either of course.

so yeah wondering how much of it was just jetlag or food poisoning or a general distaste for aussie club smell or something

Yeah he was pretty much the same when he played out here in 2002. Kind of understandable in a way - both times, I think, Melbourne has been the last stop in a pretty intensive Aussie tour and the guy's probably still jetlagged, tired and sick of flying around by then so it shouldn't be suprising that he's looked completely sapped of energy when he's played here.

To be perfectly honest, though, it really doesn't bother me. I'd prefer that DJs let their music do the talking rather than putting on Oakenfold-esque antics for the crowd's benfit.

I share my toys
PM me if you want a copy, I'm sure something can be arranged.

And yah, I don't care if a DJ is hopping around the dj booth like a wounded duck, I'd prefer good music to lots of motion.
