Last Night On Earth

Dubman

Yep. that’s the one.

Matt

Wasily Check your PM’s mate.

Homegrove

Finally listened to the BM-set. Pretty healthy bpm for 2020, jesus. Nice tracks, but didn’t really interest me that much. Some of it sounded a bit samey.

Dan

Homegrove exactly

However, thanks Sasha for getting me into Roland Tings. Loving his work.

SM001

Dan He’s great. What is it with Australia and Breaks? 😆

Wasily

Is the terrible mixing today due to no monitor?

Kumquat

Wasily He only came on 2 minutes ago. It was Velentin Huedo before with someone else.

Wasily

Ibiza Sonica is about 45 mins ahead of FB

Kumquat

I can’t watch that, the video isn’t in synch with the music… Amateurs.

And yes, he definitely wasn’t keen on monitors being knee height.

Wasily

Well that was worth it! Does 25 mins count as a set?

ScottBailey

Wasily I know it’s been in his locker for a long time, and I still quite like a breaks tune to build a set, but I really switched off to Sasha back when Airdrawndagger came out. Obviously down to artists feeling like they need to move on and grow, but if I want to sit down and chill, I’d rather put a Jose Padilla set on.

My two pence…

Wasily

ScottBailey I do still love his stuff when he’s on game, but putting out 25 mins of tracks with at least 2 transitions lasting less than 2 seconds as a set…

Dan

ScottBailey Airdrawndagger to me is an overlooked classic electronic album. At times on par with Philips Glass’s work.

ScottBailey

Wasily for me it’s not even that. If I saw Sasha was headling at Space and knew his set was going to be this, I probably wouldn’t go.
This style of music (I feel) is much more conducive to being background music, and not music that’s easy to move (dance) to. You can see that in the people who are more happy just drinking their drinks and chatting amongst themselves (I get the whole Covid scenario).
If that’s what he’s aiming for, all the more power to him. I’m not sure that’s the case though.

SM001

I know everyone is raving bout his Burning man set which is good but it’s not a mix i’d go back to. It’s too claustrophobic. Most tracks never get a chance to breathe.

alistair

SM001 Agreed. Too many jagged edges.

segwin

alistair Uh . . . what?

LT42

Jesus lads it’s just a bit of music, you don’t need to visit a psychiatrist to work it out ffs 😂

Dubman

LT42

Couldn’t agree more. It does seem like a lot of people analyse every track & transition he makes.

LT42

They’re sets for home listening and are perfect for that imo. I refuse to believe Scott really thinks if Sasha was playing Space it would be 4 hours of twinkly breaks.

Wally

LT42 I dunno - he plays what he wants and fuck anyone who doesn’t like it. lets not forget the ‘flower house’ phase he went through. I remember some mates going to see him in Newcastle @ shindig thinking he was gonna bang it out. I’d bailed because I thought he’d play the slow tempo shite his sets had been recently. Every single one of them posted ‘it was ok but never really went any where’ / ‘gutted’ style reviews. 4 hours of slow house. Bleugh.

ScottBailey

LT42 fair comment. Probably wouldn’t be. I just think this has become his sound now for the immediate future and from that I don’t automatically make an effort to tune in when I see his name anymore.
Won’t be any skin off his nose for sure! At least he’s playing what he loves. I like that honesty.

LT42

Wally edging close to Dermo territory with the “I have a mate that said it was shit” line, Wally 😄

For every bad report theres a good one. I take that stuff with a pinch of salt these days.

He used to play downtempo stuff on Ushuiaiaiaia beach and then bang it out in Space later. Bottom line is these recent sets are for home listening and probably aren’t a good snapshot of a full club set.
