Re: What has happend to Sasha!!!

[quote=mamut;373525]gabriel & dresden. the best of this times. i hear about 8 sets or them and all are perfectly mixed... wowww!!![/quote]

I saw these guys, too, sitting behind their laptop screen...sure, they'll work the mixer knobs, but I'm suspicious - I'm not even convinced that they actually even beatmatch anything they play. :what

could be wrong...correct me if so...

Re: What has happend to Sasha!!!

Mind you, I'm not opposed to people using ableton or any other technology in their live sets...as long as there is true artistic [I]peformance[/I] going on. Else, we can just throw on a mix CD.

Re: What has happend to Sasha!!!

Personally, for me on stage, I have noticed that as a DJ...you are the entertainer! Crowds want to see the performer get into their music and sound. If you don't have the crowd interaction you might as well just put on a CD of the last set the DJ released and let it play. So you cant just say its all about the music. Because its not. People want and need that interaction to complete the journey or the story being told. Honestly up here in Seattle, it is very difficult to see a truely amazing show from any DJ. Most of these clubs have horrible sound systems and low capacities. I can however say that the best show we had up here in 2006....wasn't Digweed or Sasha, it was hands down was Sharam show at Element.

Re: What has happend to Sasha!!!

For those who criticizes Ableton...Involver wouldn't have been possible without ableton... that was the main tool sasha used to creat the cd. I agree that now many guys are using this because they dont need to beatmatch and I think that's shit but Sasha doesn't use the soft for this, he is able to do such amazing things with it an is always advanced he has a special talent.... those who say he has changed of course he has! or digweed hasnt? or anybody? Music changes all the time..and some of you could not love the new stuff so Its a matter of personal likes.

Like Digweed said "sasha is the master of musical mix"

Re: What has happend to Sasha!!!

Yeah mate, Hernan Cattaneo is the best, at least for me, Sasha is also great.

You are proven wrong by John Digweed.

John doesn't show any emotion. He doesn't even bob his head to the beat. Pure concentration. If you wave to him, and he looks at you for a second.... you might get him to crack a smile..... but only for a second. He will instantly focus back on his work.

So.... I think the whole "crowd wants to see the DJ" argument isn't exactly universal.
