Sasha @ Cardiff Uni, 29th May

Sasha turns up over an hour late, starts his set with Invisible Inc. then plays out an hour of breaks, then comes the 4/4 and he plays a few blinders, some had a real electro feel. around 1.15 the track started skipping then stopped altogether, so after a pause he restarts the track but exactly the same thing happened again, with that Sasha grabs the CD from the drawer and flung it into the crowd (he was pissed off) So then he starts another track which builds up nicely then WHSSSSSSSSSSH, he stopped the record and fucked off out the back leaving some geezer to try and sort out some kind of music, lol. Turns out that the CD hit some bird on the head and cut her quite badly, had to go to hospital for stiches!!

he was obviously pissed off and didn't think ahead (happens to anyone when they lose their cool).

What I wanna know is, what happend after.

Hmmm.... you make it sound bad, but I'm willing to be forgiving. For how long was Sasha scheduled to play and how soon did he cut the set short by walking out?

In regards to throwing the CDR, I think it's okay to throw CDs into the crowd, but you obviously have to be quite careful how you toss it, so that the CD flies outwards long enough for folks to see it coming, as opposed to just tossing down at the crowd so they're suddenly caught off guard.

He was scheduled to play 10-2 but he didn't get there till about 11.10 and walked out at about 1.25. It was going pretty well before the record started jumping then he just lost his rag. Everyone was kind of shocked.

I think he threw the CDR more out of anger than anything else but maybe not although he was obviously pissed off!!!

Everyone was stunned and some dude who was not scheduled to play had to kick things off again after a few minutes of silence but we left along with a lot of other fucked people and that is the last I know.

lol I'd sue him


Posted by Streakfury on May-31-2004 12:06:

If I'd known Sasha was playing at Cardiff Uni, I would have been straight down there, as I've got a mate who's studying there. As it turns out, I'm glad I didn't. Man, what's he playing at?? I would have got a refund if he didn't come back and continue playing. And that girl should slap him.


Posted by stevebutabi on May-31-2004 12:33:

aside from being the best dj in the world, he is a real cock.


Posted by Orko on May-31-2004 12:38:

that is pretty rediculous. The guy just took off? Did the club offer any kind of refund? Did anybody even ask for one? I will definatly be going to see him next month, hope he doesnt let the equipment get to him

Haha whatever you rkn mate. As for Sasha... what a dickhead! If he did that to me I would of threw my beer at him and cut him for cutting me with the cd!


Posted by tbh on May-31-2004 13:57:

Rumours are that he got arrested, the girl got a free cd off Sasha, and he turned back up just before closing to pick his records up looking very depressed with himself!

We left after he walked off though and these are just rumours.

he suc in person, DJ wise he is God^^

Sounds like he has a rage problem, with this and throwing all his equipment in the swimming pool in South Africa!

I wouldn't like to be the flight attendant on the plane that tells him his first choice of meal is gone!

Full Story from Rolling Stone Magazine:
"I was in South Africa, playing a private party, and I was in an altered state, so I ended up DJ'ing for about eight hours straight. The guy who owned the sound system asked me if he could record the set. I said sure. When I finish, I'm so buzzing I think, ', this set is going to be the basis of my next CD!' I'd done all these mixes I'd never done before -- I was completely in the zone. The guy comes up to me and says, 'Why don't you give me your address and I'll mail you a copy of these Minidiscs?' I said, 'Listen, dude, I'm going to have to take those Minidiscs and send you a copy, because I really need to analyze what I played.' The guy disappears and then comes back in a real huff, handing me discs and saying, 'You said I could record your set and then you took it back, so I've erased them.' But I had seen him writing on the discs as he was recording them, and these were all blank, so I knew he still had them. I got into a huge row with him, and we got more and more wound up. The decks were right next to the swimming pool, and I just knocked the entire lot over while my partner John Digweed was in the middle of the mix! I smashed everything up and then got in a car and left." - Sasha

omg, that's hilarious.

(btw did the set get leaked?)

You guys don't know how frustrating shit like that can be, especially in front of a couple thousand people who are there to see no one but you...as far as him dumping his equipment in a pool, everyone knows it was because the fucking promoter was recording his set on MD and refused to give it to Sasha. What he did was completely justified, I mean he shouldn't have left early but its understandable.
