I did a search and couldn't find anything on the topic.
Not sure if this site is valid or not.
If this already been posted sorry in advance.
DJ Sasha dismissed reports on the web this week that he been angry when a record he ripped off the decks struck a girl in the face, telling Skrufff that he’d actually been larking around, when a dirty record got stuck in its groove.
“I was two thirds into my set, the place was going off and I was enjoying myself when the record started jumping,” said Sasha.
“By the third time it happened, the whole crowd was cheering and I ripped it off and threw it up in the air in an overly theatrical way, certainly not in frustration. I was just being a bit silly and theatrical and I guess the record boomeranged onto something and hit this poor girl on the head.”
The incident happened at Cardiff’s Time Flies event, and effectively finished the party there and then, though Sasha was also keen to refute allegations that he’d been subsequently manhandled from the decks by bouncers.
“Her boyfriend grabbed hold of me, thinking that I’d thrown a glass at her or something and took me backstage and I went into this room with him to see this poor girl there with blood all over her face,” he continued.
“After I’d seen that I was freaked out, I didn’t know how the girl was and I didn’t want her to think I didn’t give a (care-slang ed), by going back on and playing. I was flipped out by the whole thing.”
Sasha said he’s since been in contact with the girl who’s now fully recovered and will be entertaining her and her boyfriend at his next Fabric gig in July. Coincidentally he’ll also have ditched using vinyl altogether by then as well as much of the music he used to play, he said.
“In about three weeks time I’m ditching vinyl and CDs to go out on the road using my computer and that’s going to allow me to mix anything with everything,” said Sasha.
“I’m now actively distancing myself from that progressive sound that was previously attached to me, because it really doesn’t hold much interest for me anymore,” he revealed.
“I think it’s time to move on, maybe I’m looking back to ‘85 instead of ’95.” He added.

While I agree with sandstorm that the Final Scratch haters are wrong, it's misleading.. Sasha considered using Final Scratch, but decided to use Ableton Live instead, as it's better in his opinion.
Sasha says: "Vinyl can only tell part of the story._ I'm embracing technology to attain a new interpretation of mixing._ Involver is my experiment."
"As far as how far the digital technology will impact the live set and how I’m going to present it? – Well I’m building a controller for the computer at the moment with some boffins which will be ready in about one month, so I’m gonna road test it then._ I don’t yet know how this will change things, but I definitely know that it’s going to be an interesting transition period!” |

| Where was that write-up from? It sounds kinda innaccurate based on other versions of the story I've heard... it was a CD he threw out for one, not a record. |

i never heard it was a cd.
A cd couldn't really cut someone no matter how hard you throw it. |

its all part of advancement imo.........it used to be that only a select few got promos........now they're much more widespread........before the advent of cdr's, track distribution was much more restricted, and you had to go the expensive route of getting acetates made of tracks that no-one else has........
now anyone with a computer and a cable modem can dl the all newest stuff in minutes, if you know where to find it of course
therefore if you desire to be continually upfront, the obvious route is to go digital via a laptop and/or cdj's, remixing on the fly and access to tracks that truly only you and you alone possess
the vinyl purists are having a hard time accepting this, and thats cool if vinyl is your thing, but its no surprise to see that PVD, JZ, Deep Dish and now Sasha are going steadily back towards the exclusivity they once had via the digital route. |
