I can only imagine how much fun it must have been waiting for Sasha to get on. When Sasha plays in LA he has Mark Tabbernar open for him, pretty much every time. Mark Tabbernar is by far the WORST dj I have ever heard...EVER. And for some reason, he's always opening...it's disgusting. Anyway, openers ftw, I love them

Paolo Mojo @ Axis Boston 6-15-05 or something like that...

he plays that hale bopp mashup and leaves sasha off with discopolis, and Sash0r brings in the daft punk accapella over discopolis.


SEX!

A few weeks back in Denver Lee Burridge essentially warmed up for his own set, playing from open to close and his progression for the first few hours was absolutely insane. I haven't heard programming like that in a long time, easily one of the best sets I've heard period let alone warm up. By the time our 'headliner' DJs usually get on (12ish) he had the crowd in the palm of his hand, and of course proceeded to throw down an absolutely rediculous set. I don't know what was more impressive though, the warm up or his peaktime set, as both were unbelievable.

He played a similar style during a few gigs in his 365 residency here in April, all of which were great and something unexpected. I'm not sure how much he plays 'warm up' time sets in his touring, but if you get a chance to see one (or him period) you won't be dissapointed.

Originally posted by Lebezniatnikov Yeah, Paolo rocked it. I'd never heard of him before actually, so it was quite a surprise how good he was. I actually had the time completely messed up for the start of the show -- so I got there like 10:00 and Paolo didn't come on til midnight. Nice thing about the club was that they had a rock band -- Dishwalla -- playing that evening, and they were better than expected as well! By the time Sasha was on, I was exhausted, but running on pure adrenaline. I slept in til 4 the next day

I saw Sasha at Fabric back in May 2005. We got to the club at 11pm or so, and I tried saving energy until Sasha took to the decks at 2am, but damn Paolo Mojo was playing such an excellent set that we couldn't avoid dancing. Love that in a warm up DJ!

It's somewhat of a mystical art...

Some just read warm up as "boring shit tunes no one headlining wants to play."

The best ones make it "we're the string intro on that track you love, only that track is a dj"

make sense or stfu lunar?

There is no general consensus unfortunately, but 'oneone' is what I've encountered most frequently over the last few years.

I love his opening sets. They are better than the regular predictable stuff he plays when he´s supposed to fully rock the crowd. Always starts out really slowly, always watching crowd´s reaction and builds up... I really enjoy watching him dj.
