Originally posted by plaxx i have the CD and have now heard a couple of times. As said before, I wouldnt say it was mindblowing but it was certainly a good mix as a whole. I didnt quite get the vibe from it but I guess you had to be there to really really enjoy it... I still think the CD is quite good, not the best, but good.

That was the saddest part of the night. I just remember being on the dance floor, my attention fully to the man, peeking my balls off to that buildup.....then all of a sudden..... boooom!

What most of you guys don’t understand is that while that happened.....Sasha is tripping NUTS! I can see he TOTALY got out of his zone and once the music started....his technician came to check out what happened with Ableton. As this is going on Sasha is still tripping the fuck out as he doesn’t know what to do....he starts digging though his CD’s..(he has almost everything on his laptop, on CD, just incase shit like this happens)...while that outro is being looped like a mofo....that’s why you think it keeps dragging and dragging in the middle but in reality he is looking for a CD to throw in the CDJ....basically his worst nightmare came true right on the day of the recording...JUST SASHA'S LUCK!!

Anyway....so he finds the CD....mixes like a fuckin pro out of the Ableton onto CD....and then looks over at Ableton to see wtf is still wrong with it.....so as his technician is still trying to figure it out he looks for another CD to play. Finally finds it....mixes again like a champ.....and boom, Ableton starts to work! Mind you this is all happening without most of the people in the club knowing what’s going on. People like Clovis, Bas, and I were totally glued to what he is doing....and we are like fuuuuuck....that was a great recovery....and of course done by non other than the man himself! But like I said.....this whole episode killed Sasha's zone. After Ableton started to work about another 15 mins go by and then you see him finally loosening up....that’s when the "set" starts to pick up again. But in the end it was a fuckin sick set that I had the pleasure to listen to live, and be out of my FUCKING MIND

thanks for the info behing the situation

My pleasure!

that's incredible; yea, sasha is indeed a badass. after listening to his WMC set this year, i starting becoming more and more a fan of him. i always enjoyed GU13 and airdrawndagger, but after that WMC set, i just started going crazy for them...

anyways got the live cds yesterday. i'm just at the end of CD1. i really enjoyed it. had a couple tracks i recognized, and just thought everything as a whole was solid. he didn't play the techie stuff that he's started getting into (i saw him at crobar in NY in march with digweed, and he started playing that kind of stuff...i wasn't too big a fan, but the night turned out all right). anyways, curious to hear what had happened in the set when i get to CD2...

It's not the first time Ableton runs out on him. I can imagine the horror when this happens to him, especially on a recording night. Last year he was in Amsterdam and Ableton (or his Mac) didn't work so he had to mix with cdj's. It happened before, so basically he has to bring a backup Mac with him standing by all the time

Overall I think his new cd is great. I enjoyed disc 1 better than disc 2 although I think the tracks on disc 2 are more in the style Sasha used to play. Cd 1 sounds like he is trying to catch up with the more minimal, "neotrance" sound of music. Just like Diggers is doing right now.

I'm gonna see Sasha this saturday at Extrema and am really looking forward to it Haven't heard him in a while.

Similar thing happened in DC back in April. His whole computer came crashing down to the ground and he had to play the rest of the night with CDJs, which proceeded to go out on him twice. Wasn't there, but here's the review from the NY thread - http://www.tranceaddict.com/forums/...threadid=335700

cd1 drags on too long, the mixing is boring at times. Could have been so much better if he mixed abit faster and threw in another track to make up for the shorter mixing. The trackselection is mostly good though.

cd2 is better imo. Monkeybreak ownz bigtime and from the fantastic Minilogue & K.A.B. it really destroys the place imo. Espoo's Rose

From that point on its badass track after another. Great stuff. Too bad about that technical failure in the beginning but he fixed that pretty good i must say
