after crobar, the second installment of sasha this weekend here in dc was out of this world. he started with the perfect amazing and warm set. both uplifting and perky with the melodies leading the way.... same energy and greatness of his axis boston set last year.

surprised and having a great time, i loved every bit of the direction he was going...
then ---

some randoms shit happened, and i thin sasha's monitor fell to the floor. that was the end of maven and the computer for the night. he made a crazy face, the music shut down, and he threw on a cd. sasha was very cool-minded about this and continued to play really good energetic music on cd until 1) the music went off again, he picked up AGAIN and got things back on track until 2) YES, the fucking music went OFF AGAIN. so during sasha's probably top american night of 2006 for me had the music went off 3 times and poor sasha's classic set in the making was silent three times.

he let some opening dj? play and they sort of almost did a tag team thing for the rest of the night. the music was always really good, and the opening guy or whatever played all sasha tracks... i don't know his name, really want to know who he was. jimmy van m was listed as the opener but this was not him. both djs played some really killer music that everyone on this board hasnt realized sasha even had as of late.... i had a great time... and made it a point to cheer sasha on.

down side was the flow of a really awesome set in the making destroyed by the computer mishap then 2 more random music stoppages... wtf is going on? first roseland, now this?

really really good sasha in top form... wish he was able to lay it down the way that it began.
for those that have not liked how sasha has played in new york this year.... i have only this to say --- you will never hear at crobar the uplifting, energetic/clubby sounds of sasha that i have loved in 2005 like his recorded axis boston set... or his glow set last night...

he reacts to new york very differently - and though diggerz changes the way sasha plays.... no diggerz there will not make him play my favorite sasha 2005/2006 sound.

pls post if u know what the hell happened with the tech difficulties... or if u know who the tag teaming guy was...

it was jimmy... and it wasnt just his monitor, it was his iMac, the whole computer, I watched it tumble, as if in slow-mo right over the edge and on to the floor. no more ableton, and who knows what was happening with the cd decks after that... tune of teh night= "cold drink, hot girl" by jody wisternoff (way out west)... defintely some slick tunes last night.

rock on

n

btw, i still long for my classic sasha sound, 95-96...

I dont see why it would make any difference.

my gf was there, and the fucking door staff made her leave her Involver CD at the door and she never got it back.
as well, the frisker told her relentlessly to spit out her gum (which she didnt have any)

nope... i dont think he played better without ableton at all.... yes he still is a master on the decks and he played well, but the set was going exceptionally strong before the computer fell... i'd say 9.5/10 at least if s&d night was a 7.

thanks for the info. i could not recognize jimmy and neither could my friend.. guess he looks different! we didn't catch his opening set and incorrectly guessed that he was replaced last minute.

why cant sasha just use a controller that works. fucking hell with the maven!
