Sasha @ Ministry 12th Nov

Cankles-McJeggings

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 😂 👍

Sasha having a ‘record picker’ tells you everything you need to know.

Can still turn it on but defo going through the motions.

Cankles-McJeggings

Smallman1

Valid point.

Wally

Smallman1 He’s got a team of them, not just one. (A mate of mine has went through trying to get his tracks on LNOE and knows them)

That said, they all do. While I can see Dermo’s point about him going through the motions, I don’t think having a record picker is the stick to beat him with.

IIRC he said in an interview he still goes through 200 or so tunes a week himself. It’s impossible for him (and the rest of them) to find the time to go through everything they get sent.

Can you imagine ‘OLB’ having a post writer, who did 90% of your posts?

Actually, the quality of your output would probably improve.

Smallman1 Record Pickers…..there’s about three of them.

BlainSA

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.

Dubman

BlainSA
My local shops used to that. Get handed a pile of records. Pick the ones you wanted then go through the rest. Still bought loads of shite tunes. Vinyl addict.

Dry-Tinder

It’s a good job that he made it as a DJ, because he would never have held a job down doing anything else, countless days off and questionable sickies. He would have been one of those employees that people would refer to as ‘sick note’

Cankles-McJeggings

I’m tnot fussed if people pick his records or not that was Edwand. I just agreed it was a valid point.

You wont find a DJ on the planet who goes to every gig and wants to be where he is. Sasha’s cryptonite is the bar he set, it propelled him and maybe now it hinders him. Only natural I suppose but he defo still has it in the bag imo.

Dry-Tinder

LT42

You won’t find a DJ on the planet who has missed as many gigs as him though.

LT42

Dry-Tinder he’s earned it probably more than most but who gives a fuck about this pointless argument anyway except for bellends and people who want the money back for their train tickets. Move it on ffs.

Heno

bosstrabs turns out it was Louise Redknapp all along

Dry-Tinder

LT42 I don’t think that anyone has asked for any money back. But when you buy a ticket for an event, you should at least expect the artist to make every effort to turn up and not shit on fans with feeble excuses time and time again. How has he earned it more than anyone else. Sasha has never struck me as someone that has gone above or beyond for any of his fans.

It’s like that gig in Cardiff, where he gashed that women in the head with a cd, putting her in A&E, on finding out what he did, he packed up his shit and did a runner mid set. Pretty fucking despicable behaviour. So remind me again, what has he earned?

Actually, to have a ghost writer or similar, you would have to have a very clear style, with repeatable stock phrases that literally anyone could write.

I’m not sure anyone could do that with Smallman’s output.

Mad_Cyril

bosstrabs you would have to have a very clear style, with repeatable stock phrases that literally anyone could write

I don’t. Hope that helps chief

Dry-Tinder if you think he’s such a knob why are you so bothered about him? Move on.

LT42

Dry-Tinder So remind me again, what has he earned?

The right to call in sick or put his family above all else because hes been at the forefront since the beginning, the pros vastly outweighing the cons but go ahead if you want to whine like an idiot.
Nobody on here or anywhere else for that matter condoned him for throwing a CD into the crowd, at least not that I saw. Kudos for shoehorning that into your post, I thought the issue was you claiming he chalked off a gig because be wanted to go to a football match? (Which you made up btw)

Dry-Tinder

mono-stereo

I’m not, but I do find it funny how his sycophant fans try and justify his behaviour when it is piss poor. You can like someone as an artist, without having to condone their behaviour. Roman Polanski Is a good example, much as you may like his films, the guy is a padofile.

Completely agree Sutcliffe was a great HGV driver but that never gets mentioned.

Dry-Tinder

Dubman I heard he used to bunk off work if Leeds were playing at home.

Underrated Dubbers post.

Did it not get him a lighter term?

Should have done.
