When people won't record his set he starts throwing around decks, when his record keeps on skipping he throws them into the crowd and hurt girls with it. And yes, the guy is one of the best dj's ever created by mankind, one that contributed to the history of EDM a lot, but....still....I think it's ridiculous.

Sasha DJs with Ableton now. So tell me why this is ridiculous? Is it because he wants the sound set up a certain way? These are all feasible requests that any self-respecting club should easily be able to fulfill.

And the incident of him flipping out and throwing a turntable in a swimming pool wasn't without provocation. And him throwing a CD into a crowd and hitting a girl in the head was an accident.

The accident with the girl, I understand. In my opinion though, there is NO reason to throw some decks into a pool over an argument. Period.

Whether or not this actually happened, is up for grabs.

i'm with you flavdave..

given that he isn't using turntables...he is gonna need things set up differently. i think its a very relaxed rider for such a big name dj. i'm sure other big names are a lot worse than that.

I bet Oakeys drug rider is more than all of Sashas equipment rider.

It was vinyl. I don't think CDs can cut through skin just like that.

EDIT: From what I could gather, that was actually one of the reasons he decided to give up vinyl for a digital medium.

Actually every account I have read said that it was a CD. And he threw it in the crowd because it was skipping. I'm sure you could cut someone with a CD. I'll get back to you on that.

I'll throw a CD at one of my idiot workers real fast and find out.

Originally posted by Freak I have several riders here of big djs (who shall remain nameless) and some of them are ridiculous. Oakenfolds for example is absolutely ridiculous. But I wont post it here (or send it so no pms please).

diggers wasn't even there still a crazy story

I think a CD is much to light to do any damage. Or someone has to be a really skilled disc-thrower
