  • Sasha @ Ministry 12th Nov

Hursty I was at that. Had no idea sasha was there until I was on my way home and some mates were messaging me to say what had happened.

I blame the meow meow shit that I ended up having that night! Barely remember any of it to be fair

      Coz he’s just going through the motions. Phoning it in as they say. Earning a living. Playing places he has no interest in and looking forward to the places he does, which lets face it doesn’t look often.
      That’s my belief anyway. The passion is dead. Each to their own what they see and believe, I’m all good with whatever. That’s just how I see it.

          alistair Nah, not really. Turned up 20 mins late (or rather, got Steve Parry to play for a bit longer in the hopes it would fill up a bit), first 90 mins were good including a couple of bobby dazzler tunes but the last hour was anthem town - Aviator and such like - he ended the set with that Ladytron remix and that ambient vocal thing he ended his Glastonbury set with three. months. ago. Unbelievable.

            Cankles-McJeggings What I do know though is Sasha is playing boring as fuck uninspiring music that I don’t believe for a minute he likes. Been saying it for years too. His best sets are when you know he likes it. Like the first Luzo ones and the 6 mix.

            What mixes are these exactly: “the first Luzo ones and the 6 mix”?

            I’ve not heard any mixes from him that aren’t “boring as fuck” in over a decade.

              Some cracking stuff knocking around on here.

              Can anyone do me a favour and weave that special kind of magic which makes his Mixcloud Fabric sets into download links?

              I asked the Microsoft Word paper click helper but he’s fucking useless.

              DMs welcome :-)

              Cheers.

                Cankles-McJeggings you could well be right. At some point it must just become a job for these guys. I wonder how many sets they have played in their career now. 100 a year x 25 years (and that’s on the low side). Its got to get a bit mundane after a while

                  Cankles-McJeggings Rolling out the red carpet for you.

                  Huh?

                  If you’ve posted any links to those mixes then they’re not showing.

                    I’m preferring Sentre’s sets nowadays tbf.

                    From what I saw of him a couple of months ago this take seems completely detached from reality, Dermo.
                    I don’t listen to many of his live mixes unless they come recommeneded, much prefer a studio one (6Mix like you said, the BulletProofBubble one was also great, albeit short) but he was brilliant the night I saw him and he was far from disinterested or going through the motions. He was bang into it and the tracks were superb. I’m guessing the Fabric night was great for those involved. I enjoyed the first hour or two of the housey stuff, ambivalent with the rest if I’m honest. I feel the same way with Digweed, I much prefer his early set stuff nowadays.

                    Gigs are so diverse nowadays for these big names (boat parties, dark clubs, festival stages and everything in between) that there’s defo a time and place now more than there was 25 years ago.

                        All good vin like I said it’s just the feeling I get. Followed him for the duration of his career until recently and like to think I can tell when there’s passion in his music. I honestly dont think it’s coincidence his best mixes are when he’s playing the stuff he personally loves and given half a chance would be doing so all the time. (Luzo, 6 mix and as you said the bubble one) or in a studio doing scores.
                        The last times I went to see him which wasn’t too long back really it was just like a miserable middle aged bloke looking uninspired behind the decks and looking like he was going through the motions playing average music and couldn’t wait to get off and back home or to whatever he likes doing. That’s my experience and get it that he was having a good time when you saw him. Can only imagine the gear was top notch 😂 👍

                          He’s had one for donkeys. With the amount of dirge there is on beatport would be nice to have a record picker. I look at it like having someone in the record shop that knows what you like and putting stuff your way. Miss that tbf.
