Sasha!!!!
Last night at crobar was amazing, glad to see familiar faces, Steven Neil was a great suprise, I still wanna have him . or anyone for that matter, over to Nevada smiths to watch some Footy.
Back to Sasha. WoW. Once again he opened my world. A good hr and half of quality deep trance like only he can do.
Luke Fair did a great job openeing, Sasha took it from there layed down some breaks, then some like breaks/house track....a bit of everything...then he started preaching....
he was so nasty. showed why he's the best dj in the world, and why prog is sooooooooo ahead of trance right now.
i was really pissed though cause my friend drank way too much and we had to take him home at 4:30. what time did he go till, 7?
I wish h ended at like 6:15, weak. He was so on, wow. The crowd could have given him more love....
encore was a sick tune, anyone know what it was?
Sasha showed us all who the fucking man is or hell even beyond that, for those that didn't go....I pity you.
There were moments when i was questioning if he was human.. like a religious experiance.
Can't really put it into words....
Go SASHA!
lol someone was rolling last night
he stopped at 6? yeah that's sorta weak but not that bad... at least i don't feel as bad for only missing the last hour and a half
he played such fucking sick records... i will buy all of them
really looking forward to the thing in the megastore on tuesday.
All i gotta say is Sasha was on.... I think anyone who was there will agree.
I dont remember having that much fun at a mega club for many years. Sasha definitely surpassed any expectations I had for him. Crobar is definitely a great looking club and I was very impressed....not to mention I had excellent company 
what a journey! sasha did a little bit of everything here and there 
luke fair was awesome. the whole crowd was into it. and i swear i'd never seen sasha crack so many smiles like he did last night. seeing that he was so into it, it made everything that much better. (he trainwrecked twice or something? that musta been the vodka cranberry talking.... 
)
encore included
UNKLE - in a state (sasha remix)
i seemed to think he ended with this but i don't think that was the case... 
anyone else think those truck horns at the end of the night were excessive?
yeah the horns were a bit much. Yeha he messed up on 2 mixes wouldn't say he trainwrecked, but it slipped for a bit, but well i kinda like that cause you get to hear him fix it....so smoothly. (and it proves he just a man) He is so damn balsy too he mixed trackes after like 2 minutes, had 2 records playing at once for most of it...so it's bound to slip if you're layer like he did, and only he can..
A mesmorizing release party, Sasha was surgical last night.
Im trying to find out the name of the 3rd to last song he canned around 5:50. It was a vocal with some chick saying "I know ..........?" "And if............?" followed by a pounding bassline and guitar effects. S&D dropped it last time they were at Crobar in March.
lucky bitches!
These posts are making me all giddy with anticipation to see Sasha in ATL next Wednesday!
I got to crobar around 12:30, caught the tail end of the opening set. I dont know who was spinning but the set seemed good. Then between 1:30 and 2, Sasha came on. After about 3 o'clock he had it going. All in all kick-ass set, hopefully there'll be a track list. Was anyone recording? I'll post some pictures later tonight.
It was good to see so many familiar faces last night. Especially Steven! I hope you had a grand time. 
Last night was THE BEST sasha set I have ever heard him play. I have been waiting for the day where I'd see him play an essential mix quality set and I was not disappointed last night!!! I was really impressed how complicated his track programming got. He was doing a lot of looping, lots of interleaving tracks, and lots of layering. He was playing in top form last night!
Luke Fair played an amazing opening too. Anyone notice they they only played cds last night? Also, I could have sworn they changed the speakers in the main room. They are not Phazon any more - they are Dynasound. Dynasound from Germany has probably the most detailed soundsystem out there. It's in major clubs like Boa in Toronto. The music was so clean sounding last night I wanted to kiss the speakers 
Saw lots of familiar faces there, including a handful that I had not seen for months or years.
Great sets by both DJ's. But for Sasha, I think I liked his NYE @ Avalon set better.
It seemed like on a few occassions, he set loops that were not quite seamless, making it sound like something was skipping.
Could people please not dance in the hallways where lots of people need to walk through?
Also, I think most of you came too late to notice - the main room didn't open until 11:30 pm or so.

Amazing set by Sasha! Probably the best I've ever heard from him. What made it so good, was that it was all over the place. You never knew what to expect next. If a boring song came on, and you gave him 5 minutes, some amazing bassline or looped electronic sound would just pop up in the middle of it.
Hey buddy! Good hanging out with you last night The last time I was at Crobar was back in March for Sasha Digweed, and if you remember, they actually brought in their own phazon setup. Previously I was there for Deep Dish six months ago (and will see them again tonight) And I remembered seeing a different stack of speakers and Phazon labels on them. Of course, I could be hallucinating but I'm certain there was a change in the setup last night.
The highlight of my night last night was when he was interleaving Apollo with that Rowan Blades song - sooo goood! Could not stop smiling

Not the biggest fan of prog anymore but was pleasently surprised by the tracks Sasha layed down last night. Was really impressed with his mixing...he was working those records! Nice seeing all the usual suspects there.

I agree about the speakers, the sound was definitely better than I expected. Also the light show was disapponting. Just 'cause they have strobes, doesn't mean that they should use them so much.
This was my first time seeing Sasha, so I don't really have anything to compare it to, but overall I had a lot of fun.
The only real problem I had that night were with those stupid horns. They scared the crap out of me the first time I heard em.
But yea other than that good times.

Loads of fun Friday night. Wanted to hear some more electro from Luke Fair, but he was good nonetheless. And Sasha....what everyone else said, all the good stuff.
Does anyone know if he played Youngsters-Smile?

contrary to previous posts
sasha sucked 90% of the time in spite
that the rest was right on point ...
a pretty low ratio taking into account
the endless track and selection of
good music a well-recognized dj must
have
how is it possible to play boring music
when you could go ceaselessly the whole
night captivating your audience with a
more creative set
prob sasha had some legendary nights
across the ocean but from my experience
here he seems to be uninterested in
the final output of his performance
as if he underestimated the degree of
local refinement and exposure to good
gigs and consequently he doesnt mind
being so unprepared
w do you think mr neil?
saludos,
ps this was written bef reading the
"sasha shame on you" tread
sounds like everyone in new york missed out...
I was down near DC for the weekend and decided to go check Sasha out in baltimore. It was amazing. He had the whole place moving the whole time he was there. He played trancey stuff, funky stuff, lots of breaks and some plain old bad ass basslines. Everything was just pure energy...
And he played his mix of that Ulrich Schnauss song of Involver... so incredible in the club... just starts of with the drums doing the breaks for about a minute then builds into the Involver version...
one of the best sets I've heard in a long time...
