-- Sasha as a DJ.
Pages (7): « 1 2 3 4 5 [6] 7 »
DJ Sasha is a veteran of almost 20yrs now. He's seen it all, he's been a driving part of many movements in the music scene, not least the early 90's, Hacienda etc. Lets face it, motivations change.
Most of all however, DJ's rely on the music that is given to them at a given time. No DJ, in this day and age, can come anywhere NEAR to competing with the DJ's of days past. The music is simply not there. A DJ is only as strong as the music.
Electronic music, today, is an old and pallid leper - though dressed in modern fancies he is green in the face, regurgitating old fables and former glories - all into his own empty ale tankard, slurred and uninterpretable.
String a bunch of them together and DJ's are only left with a gaggle of rotted palsies, false prevalents. Sasha or otherwise.

| Originally posted by excite331 Yes, but I haven't listened to any of his sets I don't think - and I've listened to a LOT of sets over the years! I'm trying this Danny Howells Meccico set as recommended in the other thread - I'll have a listen. Understandably it may not represent him at anything like his finest. I have nothing against talent and good music - I've just had a few bevvies and felt like throwing an opinion around with colourful descriptions As always everything brings something to somebody. Something good for many is good for me, even if I don't enjoy it. I throw opinion around for the sake of it - it's just something to do. Honestly I think electronic music, as it is SET - is open for anything now. That's a whole 'nother thing however. Hopefully I will enjoy this. I get the impression, personally, that the convential back-to-back track DJ is not ever, really, going to excite me. I need MORE. It'd be hard for me to engage into much of anything that follow this convention. |

| Originally posted by DiegoParra32 don't get me wrong, sasha has not lived up to his name in a long time, but....I don't expect him to every night or every time I see him. I would really like YOU to drop epic or sick sets every week or even more frequent while you are launching a label, working on music. I understand that Sasha is not the greatest or whatever you want to call him anymore but hey, your dj as well right? I would like to hear something from you that you would deem acceptable and let us critique on it. That would only be fair right? |

| Originally posted by Tangil So fucking true. It seems like so many Dj's just play stuff because it's new, not because it's actually a good track. |
I've got nothing against a dj playing old tracks, as long as they don't play the same ones in every set. I see where you're coming from but there's a difference.
all i am trying to say is that people on here are insanely over critical. that's all. shame on me for thinking so.

| Originally posted by plaxx Ok then, lets tell all the artists to stop producing because we want DJs to spin stuff from the last 20 years. Give me a fucking break. |
| quote: |
| Originally posted by Ted Promo They're not saying people should stop producing. They're saying that rather than a dj playing a bunch of shit productions that have been made recently, they'd rather hear the dj play good older productions |
| quote: |
| Originally posted by plaxx I agree, there are a tonne of shit tracks being made, but that doesn't take away from the fact that there is also a shitload of good music around! Those good old tracks are gems, thats for sure, but their time has come and gone. Once in a while, if a DJ drops an old tune, the crown goes mental. It's definitely a nice surprise (Sasha, Warehouse Party, Xpander at then end) but if DJs played nothing but those old gems, are you seriously telling me that they would get kudos from everyone? |
