Originally posted by ponsshin Went to this Sasha & Digweed gig yesterday, I was psyched to finally see them play together, see the Maven with my own eyes and shit. The set was excellent (especially Digweed's part) whereas I was kinda dissapointed by Sasha's little use of the Maven during his set but the main downside was THAT THEY BOTH SHOWED A SHITTY ATTITUDE FOR 4 HOURS!!! They didn't want anyone to take a picture of them (yeah, you show yourself as a huge DJ in front of thousands of people but you don't want your picture to e taken...) They NEVER smiled or showed any compassion with the crowd. Fans (including me) were automatically dissed when approaching one of the two guys. And other things... To make a long story short, it was like this: come to the club, set up gear, play, get cash and fuck off. Why are they acting this way? Has it always been like that with them?

That's your fault for bothering him during his set. Would you like people at your job to bother you?

Both guys are super cool and down to earth, you just have to catch them in a cool, down to earth environment! Anyone who has caught either of them at a private party / industry event can attest to this.

I've chatted with Sasha both during a set - coming out of the booth to tag in Zabiela - and at a private party, and I can tell you that it's like talking to 2 different people.

You can't expect them to be your buddy in the club or on the way to their tour bus, and although they should sign autographs after gigs, sometimes with their insane schedule I guess they're just too damn tired.

They are not animated in the booth because they are technicians - not clowns like Tiesto that jump around in the booth. Their focus is on the quality of their set, not on their dance moves or facial expressions. I wouldn't have it any other way.

First, he didn't bother him during his set. It was after.

And no... I ALSO got pwned by Sasha... at a private afterparty during WMC this year.

I nicely asked him for a picture when he was by himself not doing anything and before I could finish my sentence he looked at me and kept walking, leaving me standing in the middle of the room mortified.

Diggers on the other hand is SUPER nice.

And I could care less about interaction with the crowd as long as their set is on point.

Originally posted by Fledz I can't stand DJs that look dead up in the booth. If they don't look like they are having fun, then it carries over to the crowd, but it also works the opposite way too. I LOVE DJs that are full of energy and you can see that they love what they do. It gets the crowd going and puts a smile on peoples faces. Those that do it just for the money are no good at all in terms of entertainment.

Then pay closer attention to the music.

Here in Montreal, one of the greatest DJ this town has ever had (IMO, named Mateo Murphy, is an emotionless brick in the booth, yet he has gained respect and fame through awesome music.

Yeah, Sasha and Diggers look like death when they're playing, they're no Sven Vath.

Maybe he just wants to be left alone sometimes. Why do you people think that you have the right to talk to people just because you admire them? Maybe he thought you were trying to pick him up?
