Re: Sasha last night at space Miami

I couldn't believe it when my friend told me George Acosta was opening for [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=5"]Sasha[/url]. What dipstick thought of that lineup? Glad I didn't bother making the trip for that event. I don't like getting "Accosted" on the dancefloor. ;)

Re: Sasha last night at space Miami

[url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=5"]Sasha[/url] seems to have reduced the average length of his sets these days for many places (2 hours during his last Liverpool visit).

These days if you get 3 hours you're lucky - although he did play 6 at Stereo apparently. It may depend on his mood and level of partying etc.

I wouldn't want to have to smell the DJ booth after George Acosta had just left a turd. I'm surprised Sasha played at all.

Re: Sasha last night at space Miami

90 dollars is insane. does he still play with the laptop and ableton?

2.5 hours....almost seems not worth it at that price tag.

Re: Sasha last night at space Miami

yeah the combo pack was 90 but 40 for [URL="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=5"]sasha[/URL] rather high but space miami understandable but maybe for 4-5hours. good music liked every track.

he looked as if he was playing cds this one track my buddy spotted freaking killer [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHoHRW11UI4"] [h=1][SIZE=2]System 7 & A Guy Called Gerald - PositiveNoise (Carl Craig Remix)[/SIZE][/h][SIZE=2] [/SIZE]

Sasha has not been using Ableton Live for his gigs for almost 2 years now. He was an early adopter of the Pioneer CDJ-2000s. At first he was using the Rekordbox software, but more recently he has been using Traktor Pro 2 along with the CDJ-2000s as HID controllers, and a pair of Kontrol X1 controllers.

Re: Sasha last night at space Miami

So the word seems to be that George Acosta did not actually play. Not sure who they had open for [URL="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=5"]Sasha[/URL] then? Bottom line, though.... why would Space book George Acosta to play with [URL="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=5"]Sasha[/URL], especially before him? Just doesn't make any sense in terms of logical flow of a club night.

Re: Sasha last night at space Miami

The opening Dj was really terrible ruined a good part of the night. [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=5"]Sasha[/url] was ok nothing to write home about ended up leaving at 4:30 and our friends told us that the opening DJ played again once [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=5"]Sasha[/url] was done. George did not play that night it was Edgar V and I guess he is a new Space resident as well. This place is ripe with shitty DJs that are playing in some high visibility spots. It is all about who you know though.

Re: Sasha last night at space Miami

I'm very glad I didn't make the trip down. There is nothing worse than going to see a DJ you like and to have the entire night ruined by a poor opener. I swear, it amazes me how few DJs understand the importance of the opening role.... and furthermore, understand a logical progression for the vibe through the night.
