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.

    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.

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

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

          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.

            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.

                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.

                    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 lol - watch it with the Dermo comparisons lad - nae worse insult.

                      I dunno like - he released sets from the time from various places (he’s always the headliner so not like he was doing a warm up) and they were just ‘meh house’. Same as the electro-house phase he went through. Glad he got past them.

                        Agreed. I don’t know of any DJ who gets critiqued the way he does, he set the bar so high I suppose over the years.

                        Plays Berlin House, gets called lazy and boring. Finally hones a sound unique to him during lockdown, has too many sharp edges (?)

                        Imo, its far more interesting than the samey Bunker sets we heard every week. One dimension isn’t enough for me personally anymore.

                          LT42 As a listening experience and taken on its own terms, it’s fine, but I’d have zero interest in paying to see/dancing to Sasha breaks set in a club. Anyway It’s not like any of the breaks he played in that set was as good as the Kohra album.

                            I’d doubt you’d hear him do a Scene Delete set in a club either

                              LT42 I saw him do it as a live concert which was even better.

                                LT42 Imo, its far more interesting than the samey Bunker sets we heard every week. One dimension isn’t enough for me personally anymore.

                                That’s as bad as ‘sharp edges’

                                  Apologies for wanting to listen to something other than a club mix every now and then. Is this the S&D Facebook group subsidiary in this thread? 😆

                                  “samey Bunker sets” 😆 You’re a hard man to please.

                                    SM001 lol I’m not knocking the quality of the music, I think you’ve misunderstood.

                                    See comments such as “Nice to hear that one again.” “Anyone ID the breaks track at 38 mins?” “Nice tribute to insert recently deceased here” “This track is banging” “Have to say this is the best one yet” “Its always the track that needs the ID that I like, rest was average”- for further details.
