If any of you actually follow Sasha's works you'd know that he hasn't spun progressive house for 11 years. His music is always evolving, which is why he's been around for so long. Most artists and djs are too linear to do what he's done. He said in another interview (or maybe it was part of this article but was cut out) that Involver was his new "experiment". If I'm not mistaken Sasha used Ableton Live (yes the very same program BT uses for his laptop symphony) to do much of the mixing and reworking for Involver.

Im not sure what he means by "I’m looking back to ‘85 instead of ’95" (maybe synthpop! ) but I can only imagine that whatever he moves on to will be gold!

It's a shame some people are not as open-minded towards music as they think they are.

In either case, Sasha has been my fav DJ since I started *really* listening to EDM and no matter what style he chooses next he'll still be my fav. If his future doesn't proove to be successful, it doesn't change what he's done in the past.

p.s. quite personally i don't think he'll stray too far from prog house

hmmmmm

^^ could've been a little more elaborative.

Back in the early to mid 90's his sets were different from what most people remember hearing from sasha. Then he spun trance, then prog house (then he made ADD which is still my fav artist album) and I believe Involver is his next step.

Even his style in prog house has changed over the years. As Mecha has pointed out many times he used to spin lots of unknown tracks but recently has been spinning more popular prog tracks.

(I probably missed something inbetween)

I just don't think he'll change his style so drastically (like going from prog to nu skool breaks or anything) because even with his changing styles over the years they all have similarities.

anyways there are 3 other threads on the board regarding the exact same article

ahhh, now i understand

I'll speak for Richard Raiban, since he's probably still weeping in a dark corner, as I've gathered from Karen's smoke signals off the roof of their building, that I can see all the way in Buffalo.

Sasha IS progressive house, and he'll continue to pioneer that genre for years to come. Yes, he has been spinning some popular trakcs as of late, but, as the first 3/4 of Involver shows, he's still running the show and taking it in new and exciting directions.

agreed.

and regarding the other half of the article, I believe Sasha will be using Ableton Live (like BT) for his sets. Should be interessting. Normally I'd say stick to vinyl and a little CDR but I think Sasha has already prooved his beatmatching and mixing talents so I think this is a good move for Sasha

I highly doubt Sasha will be ditching prog completely. How could he when everything hes been associated with has been progressive based!?!? The vinyl thing i believe, since there are a lot of dj's that feel this way. And i dont think he used a single vinyl at Labour of Love last year either.

whats so bad about prog? why does everyone hate it? its so damn good!

Progressive is where's it at!

I can't believe that Sasha will stop mixing a genre that he helped so much bring forward.

What will this guy spin? techno? epic trance ???
