Sasha & John Digweed @ The Roman Arenas, Bucharest (Review / Vids / Pics)

So, last saturday night I saw Sasha & John Digweed for the first time together in Romania. It was a great party, outdoor location, immense hype, good sound system and of course some fine ass music from the two djs mentioned above..

Sasha started with something very similar to his Instant Live Cd1, not very dance-floor wise but a good listen nevertheless, building the anticipation and hype even higher than it already was. After an hour or so John got to the decks playing some (mostly) minimal-techno influenced tracks (his first track was Rekleiner - The state of things) ; it was a very natural flow from the point where Sasha left the things running; (Sasha left the crowd wanting for more and Digweed delivered). The transitions between the two were also very spectacular, with both of them working together on the decks and ableton.

Fast forward into the morning, Digweed unexpectedly plays the original/clean version of Ame - Rej (very outdated imo) and then Sasha ends up with some tracks from the WMC afterhours set (best part of the party for me), including Editors - Camera;

Some pics now

Re: Sasha & John Digweed @ The Roman Arenas, Bucharest (Review / Vids / Pics)

thanks a lot Noexx for great pics and high quality videos.

that was indeed a great night. never saw Sasha before. Digweed was my main interest.

he kicked ass in his first part.best part of the night for me. caught him two times before in bucharest, never enjoyed it so much.

they came in at midnight, around 4.30-5.00 started to throw in tracks alternatively. great part.

at 6am digweed was packing his headphones. but the crowd and sasha weren't ready to leave :) eventually, after couple of minutes of "negotiations", the continued to play some 40min more..

great location, great crowd and a digger open to the public like never before.

I just noticed that the stage is about 30 feet from the audience. Nothing like putting the Dj up on a pedestal.

2 things.

  1. diggers said he going for a ponytail, so dont expect a haircut anytime soon.

  2. how bad are you waiting for digweed to just punch a hole in the MAC's monitor and tell sasha to play on a real mixer.

  3. i see chem is in the thread, so.......sasha sucks.

I forgot to mention that Spooky did the warm-up for S&D but I couldn't catch them, their time slot was too early (10pm-12pm)

Here are some more great photos of the night:

Yep, I thought that was the case. I believe Paul Rogers was also lurking about there too.
