The difference between then and now is they were finding the tracks that those other guys were playing and playing them before they were. They were producing the tracks those other guys were playing and playing them before hand. There was a reason to pay attention to them because they were fresh and up front and taking a direction and going with it that others followed. Now they simply wait on Gui Boratto or Guy J to make a track so that they can play it. They used to define the genre they were in moreso than letting others define it for them. |
Ya know i completely understand what you mean. And in sense about some of what your saying...your completely right. I just don't think that they have lost their style of innovation. But yes man in a way i agree with you.
For instance when john digweed dropped fabric 20...that was the first cd that really made electro house popular. Soon after mark knight, dave seaman, steve lawler, quivver, stel, josh gabriel, john dalhback, everyone was playing electro house. This isnt even way back in the day..this is only a few years back in 05. He led that electro house front. Fast forward a year or so and john went strictly tech house and playing more minimal as well. What do you know but all the same dj's i have named and many others are all playing tech house now following in his foot steps and trend again. Even though on a track per track basis they arent maybe as innovative anymore. But even to this day the direction they take with their musical sound still influences the entire world and sets the stage really. I remember having this same conversation with a few dj's in central record store before it closed in 2007. They still influence everyone greatly man...just now that they have gone tech house, well, everyone kinda waits on gui boratto now.:p That kinda sucks too. |

To be honest I never liked them. I listened to about 10 minutes of Northern Exposure before I turned it off, never to pick it up again. Even the sets I've heard from them have done nothing for me. Like I said, if it wasn't for the fact that they are legends, and pretty much everyone is going, I wouldn't even consider going most likely. |
Would love to hear which Northern Exposure you listened to. They are all pretty amazing. East Coast is still probably my favorite EDM CD and def in my top five of all music genres. I didn't listen to it with the idea that it was going to make me dance. I had more of a connection with each track and the way they were put together. Pretty Brilliant work IMO. |

For the record: all of the Northern Exposures were good. My favorite S&D sound is their 2002 Delta Heavy prog sound. Also, Fabric 20 was good, but that was made in 2005 when I thought both of them were still good. Sasha's Fundacion comp from 2005 was really slick. The last good set I have heard from S&D was their Buenos Aires set from 2005 (available in MD, I'll post a link later, and yes, I thought their Bonnaroo set was a bit boring).
I think they fell off in 2006. Everything they have touched since 2006 has been shallow, trite, and forgettable imo. I sorta liked Coma because it had some neat sounds, but then Sasha just recycled all those presets into every track on emfire and invol2ver so I got sick of it all quickly.
But everything up until 2006 was at least decent. I especially like Sasha's 1994 Qat Collection. |

| So I was just on Sasha's MySpace page and Digger's MySpace and personal website. Sasha lists the Atlanta show, but Digweed doesn't on either site although he does list the Denver show. Digweed is definitely confirmed right?? Also, any dress code at Dreams? Thanks all. |

Welp, finally got my ticket today so i'm confirmed for brawl. Wish I wouldn't have waited this long to get it, but hopefully it will be worth it. If S&D's performance isn't, hopefully partying hard with everyone will.
Was it ever confirmed that they're playing 6 hours? |

Of course Digweed is confirmed. Do you really think we would still be in the biz after 15 years if we put DJ's names on flyers who were not really booked? Especially high profile DJ's like Sasha & Digweed? |

Good point. Just thought it was strange that Digweed lists every show on his sites but Atlanta.
Dress code? |
