vinnyt77 i mean quite a few were already out and known, yeah. Diablo, Heaven Scent, Angry Skies, More, Stoneproof… think Persuasion was too, wasn’t it? I am not knocking the mix. It’s my fav Digweed GU. I just think disc one is better and I think the formula I identified for why disc 2s are typically less renowned applies to Hong Kong.
Disc 2s of Superior Quality
Amps is there something wrong with the flow on Disc1? Other than the opening track and the first synth explosion from Albion - Air, you would not have known what was what or which way was up or down for the last hour. Absolute perfection. I’m sure he had many nights in Twilo where he unleashed that kind of filth.
No one unleashed more filth in Twilo than Tenaglia.

Evolution’s dubby mix of Heaven Scent.
Angry Skies isn’t on there.
More is on Bedrock so surely gets a pass.
Alternative, dubbier version of Stoneproof.
Funk Function mix of Persuasion.
i.e. the less obvious versions of some big tunes.
Were the tracks on Disc 1 any less obvious anyway? As has been discussed elsewhere I’d argue The Baguio Track is probably the biggest tune on the whole compilation.

Talking about DT and filth, his Back to Basics. Think it was just one sided right.

Wasn’t ‘The Baguio Track’ originally released on an obscure label in 1999 before Yoshitoshi signed it? Digweed picked it up and started playing it and remixed it with Nick Muir before it was officially released the following year.
I know Alchemy - ‘Bruiser’ was originally released on an obscure label in Albany, New York.
Just had disc 2 on a nice run. Was tremendous.
Reach out for me.
jonattonyeah I just listened to it on the train home and will double down on it being better than CD2 of #006 and #009.
Only 2 spoilers for me are Cass & Slide (not because I don’t like the track, but it breaks the pace built up by Zoe), and Heaven Scent because it’s just unnecessary right at the end imo.
ScottBailey All good points but if you were in the main room at Space you’d say he was playing a blinder.
if you want the version on #013, you can buy it here (like I did): -

Ah right you are. Just looked it up on discogs. It’s a mislabeled due to being an early copy or something.
Was never a Prog or Trance guy. But Sasha played a warehouse in Oakland in 1999. I was 17 or thereabouts so couldn’t get into clubs. DJ Dan was on before. DJ Dan absolutely hammered the place. First time I heard Sandy/Housetrap “Overdrive” (monster tune). I was like, nobody can top that. - Dan played a hellava set. But Sasha smashed it. I thought the floor was going to fall through when “Future In Computer Hell Pt 2” was played. Might be my favorite night out.
jonattonyeah must have been blindin’!
I only got to see Sasha once during the glory years, but he didn’t mess around! Was on the same bill as PVD and Oakey, so the beats were up. Destroyed me with Shaiva, Zerotonine and Boy Voyage!
The mix is quite close to the set he played at Space. Started on Fibonacci Sequence etc. What a night that was

Referring to Sasha at Space and GU013.
Incidentally he came on after a 5 hour Tenaglia set
ScottBailey Only +5 than EUF 
Ya man. The club was sooooo good back then. Every refurb afterwards made it worse and worse
Sarcasm detector broken. Late night last night lol
Heavyweights like Junior Vasquez don’t play lame ass songs about math!
Would slide into Ruhe (Humate Remix) like butter.
JV was an insipid cunt but he could put down a fun set even if the mixing is piss poor. It’s likely because he’s gay.
zackster Don’t doubt it. Just really conscious that 98/99 was around the time the GU series really got going, and it coincided with:
1) the massively increased availability of chatboards like GU, with trainspotters discussing every record a DJ player
2) access to the likes of Napster, making sharing of live DJ recordings so much more common
Basically, those things together meant there was really no such thing as an unknown track on any of these GU mixes. It also meant you got to hear what a DJ REALLY sounded like live, which in a lot of cases, was really not good.

zackster saw him there.
