Yeah I read that interview too, all the tracks in the compilation are remixed by Sasha, he spun some of the tracks on a private party on the Miami WMC, so I hope we can listen to some stuff soon.

Hope somebody have more info on this

I cant wait until it gets released hehe

Sasha you rock!

Any help ???

Hey guys, this was actually reported on Sasha's site back in November,
here is the info ...

SASHA SET TO RELEASE INNOVATIVE NEW ALBUM
Sasha is set to bring a fresh twist to the DJ mix CD concept with a unique album series for the acclaimed Global Underground label, promising a very welcome return to the label that released his world renowned, award winning San Francisco and Ibiza albums a few years ago.

The first CD of his new multi-album deal with the label is due out Spring 2004, and it will be no ordinary DJ album, it will blur the lines between artist album and DJ mix. Sasha will write, remix, re-produce or re-edit all the tracks on the album, making each song an exclusive contribution to this mix.

�By doing it like this, I really feel it�s a step forward, it gets my creative juices flowing and it feels like a natural continuation from my artist album,� says Sasha. �There are lots of gems promised for the album including some brand new original Sasha productions.

This also marks Sasha's first release since his groundbreaking 2002 debut artist album Airdrawndagger which has sold over 150,000 copies worldwide. �Airdrawndagger took up so much of my time, such a chunk of my life, so I�m really excited about giving my DJing some attention,� Sasha says. �I�m looking forward to showing people out there where my head is at musically.�

Sasha is currently in the studio working on the finishing stages of his mix. �I want it to be a bit more eclectic than my other CDs. And I�m not necessarily worried about this super smooth continuous club mix. I�m interested in something that jumps tempo and vibe, it�s not going to sound like a standard club mix.�

Sasha is recognised as one of the worlds�s most innovative and iconic DJs and it comes as no surprise that his first mix album in almost four years is certain to attract international attention. Music-lovers deserve something more creative from compilation albums--and that�s exactly what this new Sasha work is all about: exclusive tracks especially prepared by the man himself that you can�t get anywhere else and mixed in his inimitable style.

Sasha knew there was only one label he could work with for his new mix album which is why he signed an extensive deal with Global Underground. �I think Global Underground is a really important brand for dance music,� he says. �They�ve been really important in my career. And they continue to be an essential part of spreading DJ culture around the world. When I wanted to do a mix compilation, they were the first people I thought of.�

Andy Horsfield � director of GU commented �This is a massive project for GU, it's an amazing opportunity for us to work with Sasha again and give his fans worldwide a unique listening experience.�

The new Sasha album will be released in Spring 2004 with tour dates throughout the spring/summer in Australia, Asia, North America, the UK and Europe.

Yes, the cocnept is taken from "Politics of Dancing"...and i think it's a good one. This shows the DJing AND Producing side of an artist....They couldn't have found a better one than Sasha.

wow, that's amazing. It'll be a sort of what Paul van Dyk did with The Politics of Dancing, but go even deeper by redoing the whole thing. Exiciting news! I'm really looking forward to this.

I just waited for the right moment... Next time i'll beat you with 10 seconds!

It should be awesome, especially if the tunes are of the GU:Ibiza quality. Then, with an added special Sasha touch, it'll be money. I can't wait!

Cant wait for this boyo. Its been far too long since his last gu. Should be well worth the wait.

when is 'spring' exactly

22nd of June... if it doesn't get postponed. Or at least that's what's been mentioned in some articles. Here's a snippet from Virgin Music's WMC report:

quote:

Later in the conference (3/8), as one of dance music's most artistic innovators, Sasha threw a private listening party on a tiki boat for the press and some of his friends to hear new material from his up coming album, Involver (out 6/22).

This is what we are living for! Can't wait

*Very* excited about this, especially with prog on a somewhat melodic upswing in the past year.

OK people, here is another update found via www.djsasha.com :

The album is to be called "INVOLVER" and released in June.
Here is a cut from an online news review of WMC 2004 :

Later in the conference (3/8), as one of dance music's most artistic innovators, Sasha threw a private listening party on a tiki boat for the press and some of his friends to hear new material from his up coming album, Involver (out 6/22). All were blown away by the incredibly emotional work where a plethora of musical worlds collide into a space that somehow explains all the reasons to live, love, lament and simply be alive. Taking the soul-searching, ambient aesthetic of his last artist album, airdrawndagger, Sasha turns up the volume in these new tracks to expose a passion for understanding the self on a universal level where drum beats, lonely echoes, hooks, guitar strumming and bridges make Sasha's music like no other's. Look for great things to happen with this album.

Sounds good to me

Can't wait for this one to get released! Why do they release it so late if Sasha already has held some private listening parties for the new material? We'll just have to wait for another 3 months then. Hopefully it won't get delayed....

3 months for management and promotion

Cant wait for that gem

Well I guess it does say "to hear material" doesn't mean they heard
the whole album I guess.

OMG

OMG!!!

Last night Sasha was here in Guadalajara, M�xico and he played an awesome set!!

He played a lot of new tunes, some sounded familiar to me but with his touch, I can tell you he�s set was sick.

Now Ireally can�t wait to have that album in my hands

you lucky bastard

maldito perro!

I Really hope Shmuel Flash - The Other Side Of Me will find its way into this CD.
From what I've read on GU.co.uk this should be a great CD, I'm looking forward...
