Old, but fantastic. Probably the best interview with him I've ever seen.

I'd love to run into him at an afterhours and get him telling stories. I can only imagine what he's seen.

Just wondering...

I always thought Sasha got somewhere around 50K to do a gig, I thought that was his usually rate. How much does he usually get paid?

50K sounds high unless it were an arena or stadium. I'm thinking for your average friday/saturday its 15-20K. That's a guess tho

Cool, nice read.

Paul Van Dyk once cited you as a primary influence in what he was doing in Germany. But I guess what he does now is quite different... Musically we were very close around 1994, ’95, we used to play together at E-Werk, and even though he played a lot faster, we used to do back-to-back sets. We were musically very close. It was only when Paul started playing at Gatecrasher his sound just went off into that area. And that whole trance thing kicked off.

interesting, didnt know this at all specially since these are my favs djs.

Seems there's a nsamadi there.

"At one major dance party Sasha, barely able to stand, took to the decks in a state that can only be described as ‘drunk as a skunk’. He then disappeared into the throng to dance, leaving a gaggle of DJs watching the record inch its way to the end, wondering “who’s going to put the next tune on?”

lol what an absurd cover




I, Steve, Son of Rocky Aoki, am the son of God



Rock'em Sock'em,
-Steve Aoki

I remember the whole "Son of God" thing, definitely funny.

Well CD to records is another thing. That’s a whole other argument, looking through a record box and you get shapes in your head and colours, yeah and looking through a browser at names of records you really have to stay on top of what things are called. I mean I know what my records are called now. Three or four years ago I never remembered names of tunes at all.

Haha, totally feel the same way. I have no idea how many times I've thought about the way a record looks instead of what the name is, "I don't know...black sleeve with a purple label, white writing".

I pretty much only clicked this thread to see this post - thought the quote you picked was one of the craziest thoughts I'd had about spinning in a long time, and just got into this.

Surprisingly awesome interview. Great find nsamadi.
