I really like his Mixmasters mix from Aug, but if you havent liked most of his stuff from recent years, it prolly wouldnt be worth your time. Stick with what you know you like.

I think you got that a little bit BACKWARDS.
And while I am here I would like to say that I wouldhave never liked Sasha based on my first experience with Digweed alone and his music if I never saw them both at the Delta Heavy tour. The show was amazing and by the way, Sasha does not come often to Canada so I don't know where some of you are getting this info from. He has been here like 3 times in the last 5 years.

no...

Track selection - amazing (he knows how to place tracks, and work a set into more than just a simple "mix", but this is one of those opinion things so yea...)

Crowd Friendly - Too fucked up? He quit doing drugs...and he's focused on the music. I don't really care if the DJ dances with the crowd or not...eg. Sanker K@Guv, best night of the year thus far. He didn't play with the crowd at all.

Mixing - damn straight!!

Reason he is famous - cuz of his talent. Digweed just exposed it...noticed it back when they first met.

Sasha never really was a progressive or trance dj. since his early days of spinning he had his OWN UNIQUE STYLE OF ELECTRONICA, therefore he got picked to the GU crew, just like many others with Nick Warren, Dave Seaman, Deep Dish, etc. this a strong fact because GU never picks random dj's, only the unique one's that will continue to mystify the crowds of their unexpected sounds. thats wat Sasha is best known for...i dunno why you guys are debating about it, Sasha is a very talented guy and he became famous only by his own accomplishments Diggers just helped him on the way, as i wud say it, so him and Sasha would be become very famous.
Sasha's mixing is flawless, just like Diggers, and who cares about crowd friendly! i want to see a DJ concentrated on his performance, not dancing around and showing that he can do everything ya he can cheer the crowd a couple of times which is totally fine good example is John 00 Fleming, Sander K & Hybird

I'm going to see Sasha, finances permitting..
but I totally hated Airdrawndagger.. it's not that I'm not into ambient (hell, I've been addicted to Engima forever..) but it's not really uplifting. I still love Sasha and his other stuff, but this was a surprise.

Right ON!

I seriously respect your guys opinions. I knew I would probably be out-numbered on this, and I have to compliment us Toronto TA's for discussing this in such a mature way. I know in some other forums it could have easily come to flamming. That is what discussions are all about, and stating your opinion.
Allthough I still agree with brunette. Airdrawndagger was supose to be this big new Sasha release and it littlely got played on my stereo once, and I threw it out. I don't think I could give it away. It was "the last straw" I guess you could say. To mellow, felt like I was in a Nintendo Legend of Zelda Game ( A little exageration) but still, all it was to me was uplifing sounds. No steady beat or build ups, nothing to make you want to move or dance. I guess that is what Trance is to me. For some it is Sasha....and I can respect that.

Sure he is flawless on the Decks, but figure in all elements that a DJ is supose to be judged on? Track Selection - Shit Crowd Friendly - Too fucked up to know where he is half the time Mixing - Flawless Reason he is famous - Digweed

1 - Personal opinion
2 - You just read/heard that from someone elses mouth and then pass it on as a fact ... He looks no different then PvD playing, very emotionless and concentrated.
3 - Dead on
4 - Peronsal Opinion

Why are people complaining saying it's too much money. You're going to spend $10-$15 (can't remember) to see Ferry, what's wrong with double that to see Sasha AND (nobody is mentioning this) Chris Fortier. That's like saying it would be a rip off to see Ferry & Infected Mushroom for $35. Not to mention it's a special event held in the Kool Haus, not the crap ass overpacked Guvernment.

I fail to see where anyone can complain with one and agree with the other, unless you would never pay more then $10-$15 for ANY EVENT EVER!

to some people's attention and understanding, ambient musik isn't meant to have build ups or to be uplifting ambient is to make you think a lot and mess with your head emotionally i dunno any ambient tracks that are with a build up or so, most are really complex, deep, chilled and so on

uplifting doesn't mean it has to have buildups man...ambient can be uplifting...eg. it lifts your emotions to another "state" you're confusing "uplifting" with "anthems"

I didn't mean uplifting like uplifting trance.. but ambient to me has to be sort of drifting, melodic, enchancing.. and you should be able to listen to it passively.. but Airdrawndagger is too dense for ambient, you can't really chill to it.
