Re: Sasha No Show In Toronto

^^ its funny - we were discussing this only last weekend. I was saying possibly another 10 years depending on if he keeps his act together.

One the one hand he's been more active producing - on the other hand I'm not to sure he gets that major buzz out of dj-ing and some of his sets can be auto-piloted construction wise (he played the life out of some tunes this year). Plus he seems to have gone for a few big pay days (suppose I would if I could too !).

But when he's on his game (particularly at Space, Sankeys, Air and The Plug + to a degree Fabric this year) then he can go on til he burns out.

... if he keeps burning out through partying too hard and disappointing/letting down people that support him then it could be less than 10-years. Wonder if Sasha's interest in the music he plays will last that long.

Re: Sasha No Show In Toronto

i think if he wanted to (provided he party legit, and not sloppy from here on out), he could go well into his 60s or even 70s(even touring), cos he's a marathon man. ffs, it really dont take much to dj, even whilst shitfaced. he could have at least tryed to killed the hangover by several means, or completely postpone/cancel it out by getting moderately wasted again; just "pay the price" another day, and not when you need to bring your a game. try and gut it the fuck out. just sayin

Re: Sasha No Show In Toronto

Been a no-show on a few occasions for me.

Cream (think it was March) - 1998 Keele University - Expeditions Tour - 1999 - Left to Howells & Digweed, so wasn't bad at all. Bugged Out@Nation - 2000 - Sander did an extended set Tribal Gathering@Sankeys - 2005 - Digweed was playing anyway & Zabiela came on after for an extra 2 hours. Oh, and a free bar for most of the night

They do say it's always best to catch him on a Friday.

Thought he had cleaned his shit up a tiny bit after he tied the knot. Like they say you can take the monkey out of the jungle, but not the jungle out of the monkey. Guess he's up to his old tricks.

[QUOTE=chanty;806801]Sasha did show up for his gig here in Nov 08. So, he's missed 2, made 1. Btw..I went to my fav T.O club, Footwork and saw Jimpster that night instead. It was alot of fun with good upbeat techy house, but not very close to what I REALLY wanted. Oil well, next time.[/QUOTE]

Not a bad alternative, would love to see him, as for the Sashster, he has always been a rollercoaster that is why I will go to NYC to see him, would love to see him at Warung, just seem places where he steps it up.
