DJ Sasha Interview @ Beatport

quote:
Sasha was one of the first DJs to fully embrace laptop DJing and demonstrate the immense creative power that software programme Ableton Live can offer jocks.

Integrating Ableton Live into his sets satisfied Sasha�s desire to remain at the forefront of dance music, and despite hefty criticism from his fans and the anti-digital pro-vinyl brigade, he has emerged unscathed as a victor of the digital format.

�Ableton is like second nature to me now,� he comments, in his softly spoken monotoned voice.

His years of traveling the globe have depreciated much of his Welsh accent.

�Being able to control the music has given me so much more power behind the decks.

�There is rarely a track these days that I use, that hasn�t been re-touched by myself in some small way.�

Full interview here.

Nothing new really, but it is nice to hear he doesn't intend to hang up the cans soon.

He has been unimpressive to me the last year or so. I hope he steps his game back up. He definitely still can be a force for a long time!

Hes been playing some fresh stuff lately, I'm hoping that with all this time off and new album they're working on he has some time to work on his mixes and record box.

Nice interview..by far my fav DJ....The very first thing I heard from him was his Maida Vale Studio's mix in 05 and I was hooked forever....even stopped listening to trance.

Thought he sounds very mellow....I heard some crazy stories about him...I thought otherwise.

lol watch the Delta Heavy Tour DVD. Digweed and another member of the crew talk about how they never know with Sasha... whether he'll rock up to a gig on time or not lol.

The best parts of that movie are when digweed is crowd surfing and when the camera switches to Sasha randomly dancing next to some guy in the crowd.

I will shit my pants and slap myself silly if delta heavy 2 happens.

*prays*

Just wish the Delta Heavy DVD was 100x longer than it is

Really hope the new album is nuts though.
