nah you're not the only one, neither me nor farley care for it either, the flow is awful imo.

same w/ the love fest set - having literally been there and having him start out with supermayer - two of us, i was thinking that i was in for an epic set - which was not the case. i remember turning to jason at one point and saying "he lost me, i dunno wtf he's doin"
even hearing mongoose live didn't do it for me, as i realized that the track takes too long to progress in a live setting. if you listen to it in the bonnaroo set vs any other set where he plays it, the bonnaroo set he mixes into the track late, whereas he's now dropping it from the very start.

then i heard a bunch of awesome reviews about tribe which got my hopes up for the denver gig that was supposed to be on 10/20. only to hear the actual tribe set and was disappointed with that as well.

then he got "sick" and didn't show up for the denver gig [even tho he played the night before in houston] but i can't say that i was too bummed out about it because i had little to no expectations going into that based on the previous performances.

spooky was just ok, i didn't mind it that much because i don't typically listen to the type of music they were playing, so it was a nice change of pace.

afterhours with three is what made that 10/20 night special.

as you said and i'd agree he's lazy.

What do you put into your live sets that has made you a dancefloor favorite for the past decade?

"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

i thought they were good when they came to la. although i do like others better, it was still good imo. sasha and digweed last nye was really really awesome =).

im gonna find out one more time if sasha can rip it. he was allright here few weeks ago at webster hall but im sure on wednesday at love, since hes playing with three from 6pm-4am he will bring it. definitely will be a different type of set since love is alot smaller and intimate club with an insane system. definitely looking forward to it.

no he hasn't

that essential mix isn't even that fucking good. the first 30-35 minutes were great, then it became the usual "bleep bleep bloop dinka dinka dink *insert farting basslines*" droning monotonous crap. Digweed hasn't been any better than Sasha.

and rjt is known to be somewhat of an authority on boring music....




as for sasha, i really dont have an opinion. ive seen him twice, once for only 15 or 20 mins, the other time for like 3 hours. the 3 hour set was a whole lot of fun, but it was at a pretty shit venue with a pretty shit crowd.


its hard for a dj like him whos too expensive to play smaller underground parties and ends up getting booked in big fuckoff clubs for a couple hours. you cant do shit in that time period honestly. this is what livesets misrepresent. if i was booked in the same venue he was booked in in montreal my set would be a little on the more commercial side as well. it would just be the vibe. i dont think hes playing songs he doesnt like or sacrificing anything, just playing the gig he was booked.

maybe..


rarely has a 2 or 3 hour set every really taken me on any sort of journey anyways.

are you telling me i don't like what i like lol. it's my opinion for a reason.

Originally posted by RJT I have seen him many, many times throughout Europe and the States, and further put an infinite amount of effort into downloading and listening to his live sets for years. Please don't speak to me as if I'm some ignorant new cunt without a clue, I know what I like

I've been of the same opinion for years now. 2002 and earlier, yeah, but I'm going to be totally upfront and say that I have never understood the hype around Sasha in the last five years. Not one bit. His sets just do nothing for me, and his whole advertising of "OMG CHECK IT OUT GUYS I USE ABLETON!!!!!!" leaves me with a sour taste in my mouth.

And I really don't understand how anybody in this thread can say, "he still knows how to rock a crowd." No. I'm going to do what a lot of you are going to hate me for doing and compare him to Oakenfold.

We all know just how much Oakenfold sucks now. That goes without saying. Yet he still sells-out venues and still has the crowd going "OMFG YES OAKEY WE LOVE YOU!" and they chant his name during every breakdown, despite the thousand boots in a tumbledryer, un-EQ'ed transition he just made. The crowd doesn't know any better. They're uneducated, and they're there because it's some guy who is really really famous and has made some legendary things in the past. They don't know what he's like now, and because of proper advertising they think he's a God among men.

That's just how I'm seeing it. Go ahead and call me whatever you want, but after seeing the effect Oakenfold has on a crowd and then seeing Sasha and how the crowd reacted, I stand firmly by my belief. Hell, I'll say the same about damn-near any DJ in the DJ Mag poll.

I've been saying similar things for absolutely years. And you can guarantee you'll always get some twerp saying something like this:
