I know a couple of people who were at the festival last night. My Facebook wall was lit up with Sasha & Diggers posts. By all accounts they played the first and last tracks from Northern Exposure. I've seen videos of Dark & Long, I'm guessing the other track is Satellite Serenades and not Wave Dub.

Either ol' Alexander has let himself go, or Digweed has somehow discovered the Anti-Aging Equation.

It was streamed anyone know a link to listen to it?

Still think it's pretty bizarre how something so unlikely managed to happen within only a few months of this thread.

Was it that unlikely?
I watched a few of the clips on facebook and stuff and it seemed pretty cool. If they played Dark Train oh mannnn.

Wasn't it? This thread was created at a time when pretty much everyone (myself included) estimated the likelihood of it at practically zero, both in light of the different musical directions their careers had taken and a seemingly turbulent personal relationship. It's something people had been wondering ever since they stopped playing together. Then, within a few months of this thread, news drops that it's in the works (not suggesting this thread had anything to do with it, but it is peculiar).

I do hope they release a recording!

I think you're over-stating this somewhat. Near as I can tell these days, they're both playing variations of the same melodic techno / tech house as everyone else.

Curious, Were the beans ever spilt on what happened between them ? Was it that they wanted different musical directions, or they just hated each other?

People were saying they dropped this as well:

If they are on the same page (or at least on the same chapter), it was only recently, as their musical paths had been as irreconcilable as they were within the first couple of years since they stopped playing together, where Digweed went full-on tech house, and Sasha went off the avant deep-end. Digweed's 'Transitions' era tech house seems to have been on the decline for a few years now, and while both he and Sasha have picked up on that fuller, deep house infused variety of tech, a side by side of their radio shows still makes it hard to imagine they have much musical common ground.

It's basically been Sasha taking the occasional, passive aggressive jab at Digweed, where he said something to the effect of having nothing nice to say about Digweed (I think that interview is linked somewhere in this thread), but the general impression you got from the few times they mentioned each other was that they would never be working together again.

They apparently had an intro which had edits of northern exposure songs and then finished with dark and long. They teased dark and long for a while before fully dropping it. From what I can gather the least 30 minutes was fantastic.
Sasha is having a very good year btw . People should check him out before he gets boring again. His track 10 and trigonometry are absolute floor bombs live.
