A lot of times you can program a set so that people will rock out to music they wouldn't normally enjoy. That's called track selection.

I agree, Sasha's mixing is seamless, and I like it that way, only bits I didn't like last year in his essential mix was when he spead up or slowed down the tempo drastically, using the re-pitch algorithm. I can't stand that, it really gives me the heebie-geebies. Sounds the same as speeding a track up drastically on a turntable, doesn't work. Better to drop mix it at a higher tempo or gradually increase or decrease.
Technically and mixing wise I think that has been his best ableton effort so far....alot of interesting sampling and looping going on there. I'm sure alot was prepared before hand, but to put that all together for a live 2hr mix, it was really well done.
I liked the speeding up part in the beggining cause the Detroit Escalator track is very slow, when he sped it up while bringing in that breaks loop it sounded cool...but that slow down towards the end of the set is anoying...

And why is Larry Levan considered the best DJ ever if he really didn't mix all that much? Track selection!

Don't get me wrong overall I really liked the mix, but I have heard better from him since.
PS. I have some mixes for download in the DJ promotion thread. They're of my radio show (2hr each show) and are only at 64KBps, but they journey from progressive to minimal on each show and I'd really like some opinions from you guys:

I'm just getting into Live myself. I've done a few mixes, but nothing too technical. I'm still trying to get myself sorted.

It's OK like I said not everyone understands.
Sorry, but going to a music store and picking out music doesn't make an "amazing" DJ. There are many more factors, obviously.

Maybe you're talking about producers or something, but I'm talking about people who play other people's music. They're called DJs. And there is alot more to track selection and programming than just going into a store and picking out music. Like I said. Not everyone understands.
