soooooo late sasha review

sasha was on at 10:50 when we got there which surprised the shit out of us. we apparently got there for his first track according to other people who were there.

lavelle was no where to be found, farley and i were starting to wonder if our dreams of seeing sasha play by himself for 3+ hours were going to come true.

he was building quite nicely. then i saw lavelle come into the booth :\

he immediately killed the flow of the evening with his first track, which was some weird rock infused edm song.

i must say compared to the first time i saw him, his mixing improved, however thats not saying much, several trainwrecks through out the evening. he even managed to stop/eject/or restart a track (Booka Shade - Mandarine Girl) on the cdjs.

lavelle
Booka Shade - Mandarine Girl
track off of holden's at the controls, can't recall the name atm.*edit* petter - some polyphony
also played a remix of unkle - reign

sasha id's:
Lindstrom - I Feel Space (M.A.N.D.Y. Remix)
Tim Deluxe - Reflections
jxl - camera (n) <--- closer. sorry but this track is gash as fuck imo

there are some more that i can't recall at this time.

all in all i liked sasha's residency here, even if he did only play 2/3 of the gigs.

i probably would have liked it more if i hadn't seen his 2 gigs in LA tho.

"I’m a dance floor favorite? Great! I would say the passion that I feel for the music I buy and the honesty with how I play it. I play the records I love not the ones that simply work. I’ve never taken the easy music option (which would make me a lot more money by the way) but chosen to push people a little. I try to draw people in a new direction slightly and expand their taste a little more than other DJ’s." - Lee Burridge

Hope AVB plays fast tempo trance like in SF instead of weak crap like in LA when he comes to Global Dance Fest

pretty tight shit son! i couldn't place any of the tracks like a complete n00b hahah . he just started banging it straight off with some really nice housey stuff. he really knows how to work some tracks together. got a little techy towards the middle and then started dropping some more bombs towards the end of the night. his encore closer was huge! couldn't make out the lyrics though.

but yeah pretty good stuff son. like you said i'd really like to see what he can do with a proper set time a good 5-6 hours, but it didn't really feel random or anything...


we missed you son! i can't get all crazy when you're not there hahaha . i need more whiteness dancing around hahaha


hope you had a good time up at fort collins though...drunken fireworkds sounds like a good night haha

Hey guys. Hadn't been on TA in forever and wanted to shoot everyone a line. Been a while since I've seen some of you guys and hope all is doing well. About to move into a house at the end of the month and then we need to have a casa throw down. Keep in touch fellas! Oh yeah, and my number changed, but you probably still see the event texts from me. That's the new number if you ever need to get a hold of me.
