Sasha - Essential Mix 4/11/1995 (Que Club)

I've had a lot of love recently for Sasha's 1995 studio EM, which is very much an epic house showcase, and when looking for his Que Club live mix that followed it up, I stumbled across this later EM at the same venue. Tracklist, as accurate as I can get it:

Phoenix - Rise Up
Tom Wilson - Techno Cat (Perplexer Mix)
Angel Moraes - Heaven Knows (Galvatron Dub - The Vth Column)
Zee - Dreamtime (Quivver Dub)
Zee - Dreamtime (Quivver Mix)
Evolution - Look Up The Light (Quivver Dub)
Fluke - Tosh (Cosh Mix)
Fade - Seperation
Mozaic - Rays Of The Rising Sun (Dekkard and Danes Mach Dub)
E-N - The Horn Ride
Minds Of Men - Brand New Day (Dekkard and Danes Meltdown Dub)

Absolutely fantastic. It's completely different to his studio EM, less poppy, very clubby and no-nonsense progressive house that just builds and builds until it's frenetic. In many ways I like it even more. Anyone else have any love for this set?

(Incidentally, I'm not sure if I can upload it at the moment, but as with most EMs it's pretty easy to find, I think I got it through a Google search)

i can't find that one for the love of me. will have to look again.

I actually like this essential mix from the same year better, although this set was fantastic as well.

Sasha Live (w/ Tong) @ The Arches (Glasgow, Scotland): November 26, 1995

01. Phoenix - Rise Up
02. Alcatraz - Give Me Your Love
03. Angel Moraes - Heaven Knows (I Can't Understand)(Unknown Mix)
04. Simply Red - Remember The First Time
05. Sasha & BT - Oat
06. Castle Trancelot - Resonance
07. Jayn - Lost Without You

I've never heard sasha play a more energetic set than this one, the BPM was easily 135+...and phoenix - rise up is the greatest intro track in history IMO

this is fucking class

I have to bump my own thread. I'm just playing this as I'm getting ready to go out, and my fucking God is it a superb mix. Possibly my favourite live-set of all time. The throbbing opener, the masterful back-to-back mixes of Dreamtime, the way Sasha changes gear effortlessly with the Fluke track... magnificent. I will upload this set tomorrow, because this needs to be heard.

Fan fucking tastic mix.

Rays of the sun is a brilliant tune.

Fucking sickness.

Bump.

I did check out The Arches set, by the way, but it was way too fast for me. It wasn't the tempo so much as the fact he'd pitched up the tracks ridiculously- they were prog tracks being played at almost hard house speeds. Heart Of Imagination just sounded bizarre at the speed he played it, for me.

But yes. I've still to upload this.

Haha, Sasha definitely pitched it up for that set. I understand you saying it was way too fast, personally for me it was just cool hearing Sasha pitch it up that fast. The Simply Red track sounded massive, as did "Rise Up" pitched up.

Download this set, people!

Downloading.

Phoenix - Rise up has to be one of the greatest opening tracks in history.

This is a great mix. So much energy.

I honestly know jack shit about this genre (I'm assuming it's considered house), but this mix is great, thanks for sharing.

Damn this set is good.

Wish people would make music like this these days.

Just an update on the tracklist:

Sasha plays two mixes of Dreamtime back to back: the Quivver Dub followed by the Quivver Mix, to create a longer version of the track in the mix. One of my favourite tricks from Sasha. You can hear the transition between them when the music flanges slightly midway through: that's two identical signals being almost microscopically out of time with each other.

Additionally, the Fade track is Seperation.

Sasha did the exact same thing with "BT - Loving you more", playing two mixes back to back during that time. I think one was a dub or something, i don't know the exact mixes. The guy was a genius.

Yeah. He'd play the Garden of Ima Dub and then the Primordial Sound Mix, immortalised on his Voyage of Ima mix on the album. For me, that's the definitive version of Loving You More.

And, of course, he opened the Renaissance Mix Collection with three mixes of the mighty Song of Life by Leftfield. It was one of his best tricks back in those days- it almost always sounded fantastic. My favourite example is on his 21/5/95 Essential Mix, where he played two mixes of One Earth Beat by Dum Dum. I still can't spot the transition in that, and I own one of the mixes he used. Immense.

You mean... the guy still is a genius. He still does that now. In the Bonnaroo set from last year. He plays the Holden Bell Dub of Barcelona into the original and still does this often with other tracks in his mixes. At first you think it's one very long track, but then someone picks it out the transition later.

He was doing this on vinyl in 1995. 13 years ago. That's why he was a genius. I can care less what he does now on Ableton, especially how boring and uninspired his sets have become.

Great set! Really energetic tunes! Thanks for posting that mate

I've seen this thread popping up here and there lately but just never took the time with it - grabbing this now to fill the iPod for the flight to Amsterdam tomorrow.
