post some tracks your thinking of playing.

Dont play "nikola gala - swing to harmony" sasha needs that track in his sets right now.

Congrats! It's about time a DJ like Sasha spun in China. How was the crowd?

Originally posted by twizta ugh too bad though, i know that the warm up djs me included did a good job warming up the crowd..people were on stage dancing and glowsticking..but when sasha came on he faded out the track and played stars[ambient mix] the crowd was just standing there looking at him...and 3 minutes into the song..his mac crashed

omg...are u serious?

ouch!

Originally posted by Colin Andrews Someone mentioned that you should not play anything recent by Sasha and that would be absolutely correct. Don't touch a Sasha record or remix that people will identify with, xpander would be the worst thing you could play followed by anything off involver. Old sasha remixes can be OK if they're old enough and people won't go "oh fuck yeah a Sasha record". If I was opening for Sasha i'd stay on top of a groove, play anything thats got a dancy clubby feel to it, bould a groove that slightly housy so that people are dancing and not just throwing their hands in the air. This doesent mean you dont get to play big, pick a time about a half hour before sasha goes on to peak out your set. Play a couple of nice big records to get people jacked, and then bring it back down for the last half hour so that people are DYING to hear sasha by the time you get off. Trust me, Sasha will appreciate it, so will the crowd even if you don't get the "fuck guy you ruled" comments after the show. I've had the good fortune to open for some guys like Sasha but not him specifically, I even get to warm for BT soon, and all of them mention that its the right way to do it.

Sounds like some good advice!

Twizta: Your profile says your only 17, so I'm curious as to how you got that gig to open for Sasha. I don't mean to be out of line asking but it would be such an honor (to me at least) to open for someone like that. congrats and thanks!

he played xpander actually. quite surprised myself. thought he might have given that one a bit of a shelfing, what with this new electro-magnetic-house direction hes taken. canny beat the classics eh?

Originally posted by Lephaid Oh man, I had the weirdest dream last night, I think it was all from this thread. I had to open for Sasha, then Sasha came and was like, making fun of me for not spinning more vinyls, as opposed to CDs...then told me to get the fuck out of here and let him play because I suck so much. Then he played this record and the lyrics were about how bad a DJ I am.

He seems to get along with Zabiela just fine...and that guy never seems to touch vinyl anymore.

me and some other djs have this crew going on called "Ascension" and its started by an ex-Viva @ vancouver resident.We got the gig as a whole group, but then the promoter said theres too many djs so they want me to spin cuz its more suitable.
