SASHA live NOW
Sasha's record right now...
Michael Mayer - Voigt Kampff Test (Barnt Remix)
Sasha (Last Night On Earth, MoS) @ Space Opening Fiesta, Space - Ibiza (26.05.2013)
Five listens in and the introduction still gives me shivers. A classic Sasha style build up of anticipatory atmosphere that swells into emotion when those deep notes sound. Wavering synths billow out from a percussive tick until finally the whole scene is sliced through by the clear icy vocals of Kicki Halmos (Bj�rk? Is that you?) and we roll into Involver 3 proper.
What follows is a choice selection of songs from the indie and electronic sphere, taken apart and re-stitched from the stems up, weaving Sasha�s own musical influences in to form something cohesive and thoroughly pleasant. In a typical musician�s trajectory his sound has mellowed out since younger days and involver 3 reflects that. The beat never accelerates past a comfortable walk, melody and harmony are paramount and vocals are silky soft. In fact if I were to make any criticism it�s that the somewhat high profile vocalists � Little Dragon, Doc Daneeka, The XX, Yannis Philippakis of Foals � have a few too many warbling qualities in common. Involver 3 has an infinite supply of silvery smooth, fashionably imperfect indie style vocals which, whilst making this compilation very of its time, dull it slightly for lack of contrast.
That�s not to say there aren�t crowning moments. Sasha�s rework of Smalltalk, by Ultraista is transformative, with a chunky dance drop and gurgling synths relishing in that slightly 90s sound that Sasha will never quite shake off (and we�d hate it if he did). Later in the compilation I recognize the unmistakable rippling which characterizes one of my all time favourite releases from James Zabiela, The Healing. Sasha has introduced a heavy, acidy bassline and remixed this into a totally different creature, whilst still featuring the warm, hypnotic vocals. Everyone will find his or her �moments� in this compilation and this is mine.
CD 2, the beatless mix, is an interesting beast but I�m left a little flat. There are some beautiful ambient moments but it isn�t transformed enough to justify the lack of new musical ideas. Overall, however, Involver 3 has upheld the standard of Sasha�s revered series, championing his patent selection of darkness, depth and melody. A beautiful compilation, the success of which is owed to the original artists as much as it is to Sasha, something I�m sure he would be the first to admit.
