Music that is DJ-ed live is not necessarily music that is good for listening to at home. I have been to MANY DJ performances where I would not want to listen to the set on my iPod, but on the dancefloor, it was a killer. In regards to Sasha, he is, IMO, one of the few top DJ's who still puts a lot of effort and innovation into his live performances. How many DJ's do you know that have had a custom mixer built because they want to go beyond the limits of everything else on the market?

That pretty much sums it up. And to put it in perspective, there are tonnes of DJs who are hithertho unknown but absolute killers when they stand in the DJ both. Sasha is more famous for his production.

Now, DJChrisB,

Did you DJ at Churchill aka Frequency 3 (Ybor City) last Saturday?

For that reason, I do think sasha is overrated. Not because he's bad, but because there's too many other good DJs to just single out a few and elevate them to pop stars. In the end, you're just playing someone else's music. You can be very good at it, but being famous for it is just wrong.

No, I don't think he's over-rated as a DJ....thought to each his own. I really can't say much...I'll just up a set and you can be the judge..one of my fav Sasha sets in the last year or so...a pity it's a little short.

How about that shit. That's why i usually go by my full name, but didn't want to in an TA username. I used to go by C-Bass (combination of my first initial and first part of my last name) until some guy by the same name that produces crappy-happy hard core started releasing tracks.

Everyone just wants to be like me.

The type of music that Sasha's spins ain't really my cup of tea, but the set at Bonnaroo was surprisingly good.

I think some of his productions are excellent, but Xpander is over-rated in my opinion.
