bosstrabs that was it for me too. first time i saw them was june 2000 on the ne3 tour with jimmy van m. 10 hours of madness, i’d be hard pressed to come up with a night where i had more fun. looking back, it felt a bit like the stars aligning with great music, djs, friends and at an age where not much else mattered.
Sasha coming into his own as an individual from 98? Lol, drivel. Sasha was an individual before John even had a gig at Renaissance, for the clueless amongst us.
FYI, If you didn’t know about Sasha in 92, you’re vermin according to Dermo.
This thread was tailor made for him. If hes out there, and we all know he is, he’ll be having some serious itchy fingers right now.
Hugo desperate to get into the weeds again?
YOU NEVER!
Smallman1 Hugo is just after THE FACTS.
ScottBailey Sasha looking pretty heavily medicated at the 15 min mark lol
…said it before, but the most memorable Sasha era for me was prob 93-94/5 when he stopped doing the anthemic piano stuff and started mixing up the styles a bit- US dubs with the more tribal, UK (as opposed to ‘Tribal UK’) stuff. It really felt like UK club music was finding its own identity IMO.
Never really liked the Progressive House tag, but the Mixmag article that originally coined the term nailed-it when they identified this ‘new’ strain of music that was being played around that time- a mixture of house dubs, tribal rhythms, big crescendos and drops, at a time when many clubs were polarised around either US garage, techno or Euro-trance it really was something fresh.
This album is a decent summary of the period I mean: https://www.discogs.com/release/135497-Various-Progressive-House-Classics
All that said, I’m sure he reached his peak in terms of worldwide recognition (and ability to make cash) later, from 98>
C_J should’ve gone for ‘Non-drowsy’ instead
