What events/gigs have you bought tickets for?
Thumbs up for Sasha going b2b with someone that plays fairly uptempo, rather than Franky fucking Wah.
Sounds like a right old cheese fest that Sasha and Young Marco night.

I would be surprised if 80% of the people had even heard them tracks before, the Humate track and Hidden Sun tracks are nearly 30 years old. The other tracks they played were reworks of the originals. I mostly find that playing old tracks in sets rarely works, Sasha, ended his 2001 Creamfields set with Slacker - Scared and it felt like I was the only one that recognised it, it wasn’t much better when Digweed, played it at Fabric a few years back. I’ve heard, tracks like Liquid Cool, Zoe etc played years later and they rarely get a big response. Digweed played Tomaz vs. Filterheadz - Sunshine in Belfast a few years ago and it just sounded out of place. James Zabiela, seems to be better at dropping old tracks and pulling it off.
Dry-Tinder I do wonder whether that’s right. How many new fans have Sasha and Digweed picked up in the past few years. Not so many I dare say. It’s not like it looks like a crowd of clubbing ingenues. Those are well known tracks to any casual Sasha fan.
They have picked up a few, most of the people that I was with were under 35. I think if you call recall a track because you heard it when it was released it’s resonates with you more and evokes memories If you became a fan in the last 20 years, you probably listened to it a few times, thought that it was great and moved on to the next one, it certainly wouldn’t resonate in the same way than with someone that played it at loads of after parties in the 90s. Digweed finished a set a few years ago with Paul Rutherford - Get Real and I think that I was the only person that recognised it.
I was at an Old School night (Altern 8) 2 weeks ago, which was full of people over 50 and Perfect Motion and For Whatt You Dream of got dropped and the place went nuts.

Dry-Tinder Now that is an oldie Paul Rutherford - Get Real… Produced by ABC’s Martin Fry.
Play a load of youngsters Trisco’s Musak and the tops will be off quicker than you can say ‘peak time POWER prog.’
Avalon Emerson among others joining, am looking forward to this -
John Talabot at the old man CIU social club place in North Shields in August. Bonkers.

Sasha and Digweed are in Dublin on 3rd of May. I can fly in and out for £44. I’ve already got a ticket for Tenaglia in Manchester the following day with a £120 train fare. I’m tempted to bin off Tenaglia, but I have seen Sasha and Digweed loads recently, so Tenaglia might be the better option.
Make sure you keep us updated chief!
