for all u sasha whores
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.

| He is so ing ahead of his time. Think Airdrawndagger was made over a period of 8 years. That means he started in around 96'! That was an amazing album ... and to think he was in that frame of mind in 1996 blows my mind! |

well ADD was awesome but its not like sasha was the only mastermind of that album.. it was produced together with Junkie XL, James Holden, Charlie May and Junkie XL mixed & engineered all tracks.. his Xpander EP was produced with Charlie May and Duncan Forbes aka Spooky.. and yes it took a looong time to complete it but i kinda thought it wasnt AS GOOD for something that took that long to make.. |

i wish he wouldn't ditch vinyl call me a purist but final scratch aint all that imo. It was skipping a lot for hawtin when i saw him and pvd has gottena lot worse since he started using it.
I'm kinda glad sasha is ditching the prog sound, prog these days has really fallen off. Sasha is a dj not a producer, the man needs to stop partying so much and learn how to mix and engineer tracks himself.
and if the trend was started lee it was started by hawtin and aquaviva not paul van dull. |
