  • Interview with Sasha & Darren Emerson on the making of Scorchio

elrobertos Rocky and Diesel have just released a new X-Press 2 album and still gig. We booked Diesel years ago… Top bloke.

    Dan They were great DJs when I heard them back then. But I’ll never forgive “Lazy”. Conflicted.

      elrobertos How dare you slate a Pete Tong essential new tune… He also recommended this one about the same time

      I remember hearing some mixes from djs around then with some West Coast tech house, prog stuff and then they would whack in Lazy. Why… Just why… I never heard it on the dancefloor so maybe something magical happened then and it turned into a dancefloor destroyer. I doubt it.

        Have to say sasha played a blinder in derry in August, went a lot deeper than I thought he would. The old guys still doing it and out lasting the young ones, seems to be a revival going on at the minute.

        BlainSA This and Doop… Which Diggers played to death.

        Diggers MBB was doop. The bald one played it too. His MBB was Alex party - read my lips.
        He also destroyed his 94 essential mix with Diddy - Give Me Love .

          Rhouses and Dave along in a mo to tell us all how great Diddy is.

          hated read my lips. worst thing on clevland city apart from tony de bart

          Aye that’s also completely shite. Que club Sasha played it twice in one night. Slags loved it.

          I think i like scorchio more now than i did back then.

          Same. It’s a top quality production for sure with the usual CM magical layers, but it didn’t quite do it for me at the time. There should’ve been another dub version that draws out the more heads down parts of it.

          Dan Totally ruins that EM. As does Direct 2 Disc on the unplugged mix.

          I’ve often considered editing it out. Might do it one day.
          Didn’t find D2D that bad. Doesn’t jar as much as diddy. How can you have that track in the middle of that mix? Mind blowing really.

          • Dan replied to this.

            Just rolling through to say I liked Scorchio, and still do,
            Hope that helps.

            Also got the Sander K remix on wax somewhere. And that trancey remix of Wavy Gravy which yes, I did like and still do.

              Heard Sasha drop Scorchio at Space in 2001.

              Sounded absolutely magnificent.

              Cheers!

              Was front and center at Gatecrasher SSS 2000 when he played the Late Night Dub then mixed into the original. The place went bonkers.

              You’re welcome.

                ScottBailey I’m surprised that you could hear it. it was that quiet in that tent you could clearly hear people talking over the music, I went to the progressive one that Digweed was in, it was just a quiet there too.
