Hah. I saw him at Fabric last night. He was the best of the lot, as he always is.

Was playing Stasis Sounds for Long-Distance Space Travel this morning, went digging afterward and stumbled upon this gem of a techno mix. Released on SC five years ago but out on vinyl this month. Pleasantly surprised to find that Theef is from Crete, which is where I live at the moment. Pretty cool random discovery.
Saw Sasha at a dope "little" warehouse jam on NYE this year and he was in TOP TOP form. I actually do have high hopes for this party. I know Digweed won't blow it.

I might be in for that one.
This sasha set would probably be the last set I've enjoyed in a while.
I know he released a luzoscura cd comp, but that one didnt do it for me.

I don't mean to urinate on your vegetable patch, but I saw them together in September and thought they were very dull. I decided I wouldn't bother seeing them anymore. Think it's been seven times in various combinations of solo and together now, and only once did I have a genuinely good night.

Lol well thanks Jack.
I saw them together in Brooklyn 2019 and it was out of this world. Have also seen them many times in all iterations and have def been disappointed more than not lol. I'm only mostly cautious about Sasha. But the last three times I've seen him he's been in top form....three outings in a row of satisfaction is a record.

2019 was the time I saw them together and they were really good, actually. Was the only time when I felt like they had that classic S&D driving energy.
I know from your other posts you've made in the past that you enjoy their modern sound more than me, so my opinion will probably have no resemblance to yours.

Heh yeah. But really like I said it's the Sasha factor. He's actually been consistent AND professional the last few times I've seen him which is what makes the potential for this night so promising.
Because, in fact, the venue this party is happening at is a big douchey Saturday night horny brown guy crowd lol. To mitigate this, a bunch of us have gone in on a VIP booth, as we're celebrating a couple birthdays in our group as well.
A couple years ago Digweed and Dubfire played together at the same club and we got a booth then, specifically to have our own space and not deal with the crowd (also we're all 40ish, and it's nice to sit LOL). We had the most amazing night and vowed it was the only way, going forward, we'd be able to go to this venue again.
The Digweed + Dubfire combo was surprisingly good. I had extremely low expectations because I do NOT like Dubfire lol. Digweed brought out the best in him though!

Also I have to tell this story....
At WMC in 2015 I saw both Digweed and Sasha, at separate parties. Digweed was off the chain - that set was recorded and ended up as his Live In Miami. People were literally bouncing off the walls in Treehouse. Absolutely nuts.
Sasha, on the other hand, was probably peak godawful. We went to his Last Nite On Earth yacht party. Except HE went to the wrong dock. So after we sat around on the boat for an hour, we had to go pick him up at the dock he was at. When the boat got there he proceeded to make the entire party wait nearly another hour for him to get on the boat. Gave no s.
After the party gets going, my gfs and I went inside to use the bathroom. As we're waiting in line, I see Sasha and a couple buddies enter the doorway from outside, walking towards the bathroom. I stared at Sasha as he approached the line. I made a really confused looking face and he looked at me like "Wtf". I pointed to his chest and was like "Omg Sasha is that a hole in your shirt??" He looked down and I waved hy hand upwards and flicked his nose. His buddies laughed and he said to me "YOU'RE A PEST" HAHAHAHAHA
And then I said "Yeah, well at least I show up for work on time."
When he took to the decks later I stood right up front during his set and glared at him the whole time.
Funny he wasn't each time I saw him after that LOLOLOLOL.
