If you read reviews of good sasha sets, you'll hear alot of people say that the set is more like one big long ride, than a bunch of tracks played one after the other, and I think that is what he wants. |
and that is what I said:

ANother thing that really impresses me is how he mixes his tracks. If you listen to the beginning of the set, then fastword to the middle, then the end, it all sounds like the same track. |
His sets sound like 1 long track. |

I never really liked Sasha up until recently. THis year, I have listened to many of his sets, and I am just blown away by some of the tracks he plays. They are so original and sound so amazing.

I have been having a hard time seeing how a track selection can make a dj "amazing". He found tracks that were already made, then played them....and you as the listener happens to like them and/or simply have the same taste in music. Wow.
But I totally agree with the last part of what you said; his mixing. Now THAT is how I can see a DJ to be considered "amazing". |

But it isnt one long track. Its one long track that goes many many different places. The point is, he is good at keeping a consistent theme or atmosphere going throughout most of his set, while going on a trip through different sounds at the same time.
Some of his sets do get samey and boring...but like every dj he does have his off nights...
And medina, its not that amazing....when he has an outro peice of a track that is in compatible key, he can often leave it going in the background for a long, long time. I've seen him leave slight highs from an outgoing track in for 3 more tracks live, so you see many channels of audio going at once even though only one will be predominant. |

I've said this many times before...I totally agree with you, but I like the DJ to have both, or at least put serious effort into the mixing :)
Plus, some tracks can be made to sound far better just by the way they are mixed and what you choose to put next to them (which is trackselection pretty much) :p |
