Yes. I'm pissed too. This is my third Sasha cancellation under my belt. Twice in Toronto and once in Montreal in 2006 due to scheduling conflict. He's well known for doing this. Sure he may have been sick, that's fine... there is too much speculation and I'm sure real answers will be buried away forever. As much as I want to believe I would not go see him or support him again, I can not say this 100% because I love his productions and his mind melting sets... I’ve just lost so much respect for the man himself. As mentioned above, go and see him in New York, that may be the best option because I’m sure a return to Toronto will not be happening any time soon, unless Circa decides to take the chance and pick him up.
As for the night… we stayed. Mark did begin to drive it out around 230 or so, but leading up to that it was so much of a mix up of tunes it was hard to decide where the night would go musically. My speculation is that Mark was playing and scoping the crowd to see what they wanted to hear and what set them off the best. I enjoyed the dark driving tracks played in the last two hours we were there. Friends saved the night… vibe in the club was way off and at times quite disturbing. I understand the parties can get a little wild and “out there” sometimes, but Saturday night was hard to deal with.

No I refuse to travel anywhere to see him. He SHOULD respect the t.o. fans enough to come here or we shouldn't see him at all. Going anywhere else to see him means he has won. I wonder how his Miami gig turned out |
If he's your favourite DJ of all time, you'd travel to see him. |

Dude your whole post looks 3D cause of your font colour mixed with nobbie's quote...
Neat effect...

What was "off" with sat. night? Maybe people were even more sketchy when they found out Sasha was not coming.
You're right, I should travel to see him. But not at the reason of him purposely shafting the Toronto crowd. Okay, maybe he was really sick but it all seems so suspect. Like I have legimitaly bought his compilations and mp3s of his productions off beatport and I kept on promoting him on my own radio show. And he still doesn't come. I'm still gonna maintain that he wasn't really sick unless he cancelled or looked like at his Miami gig last night. I'm losing respect for him too...the first dj to show me what prog house really is and he has to pull stunts like this.

I was thinking the same thing. On another note, there is nothing on his myspace or website. It also doesn't look like he played last night.

My sentiments exactly...friends definitely saved that night. I did enjoyed MO's set...it was a mixed bag of everything (as Cribby put it, a bit of a schziophrenic set...haha). But the set actually flowed well.
I enjoyed the track that I also heard from MO that Hector Romero played at FW as well...a very saxy and sexy track! <3 But the sketch factor went to a whole new level later in the night (surprisingly a bit more than CZ at times) and I just couldn't bear it at the end and wanted to go.
I'm really disappointed that Sasha did not show...but oh well, happens and life moves on. At least the other Sasha had a blast at the Gallery for his b-day...I'm so glad we got to party for a bit together that night!
On a side note, this was my first time at the guv in over 2 years and was quite impressed with the renos. I'm definitely looking forward to Sander K in two weeks! |

personally im glad he didnt play trance and quite enjoyed the set. Considering he had to play 8 hours with 10 min notice i think he pulled it off quite nicely. I know when i have to do an 8 hour lighting show it takes a lot of physical and mental prep to do it. Standing in one spot the whole time and constantly thinking about your next move. I cant imagine what its like for a dj! |
Yeah I was thinking that too, that he wasn't expecting to play a Mark solo night and found out while he was already spinning an opening set for Sasha. And I realize I'm probably alone (or one of the few) who had a desire for trance, so I really wasn't expecting it. I was just hoping.... ;) I guess that's to be saved for THE GIFT!!!! |

Dude if MO could keep me satisfied through a whole set, I wouldn't care that he's a dick. Just like I don't really care about Sasha's issues, because his music makes up for it.
Nothing to do with a personal grudge. I just find it funny that there's a theme to those who continuously defend MO. So transparent. |
