Looking for details on this... Do we have a setlist? Any HD recordings? Will there be more shows?

Away from the smoke and sweat of the clubs, [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=5"]Sasha[/url] explores a more introspective side to his music in a special performance of his Late Night Tales release [I]Scene Delete[/I] – an album that filters contemporary classical influences through the lens of House and Techno, as well as reinterpretations of music from his back catalogue.

 Like the best of his DJ sets, [I]Scene Delete[/I] is a journey. With  [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=5"]Sasha[/url] joined on stage by a small chamber ensemble, the album unfolds as  one brooding, undulating piece that flows from start to finish, sounding  somewhere between the dark, weightless soundscapes of [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=324"]Burial[/url] and the  music modern composers like Nils Frahm, akin to fellow Late Night Tales  artists [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=790"]Jon Hopkins[/url] and [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=719"]Bonobo[/url].

Further indulging his eclectic taste in music, the second half of the concert sees [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=5"]Sasha[/url] perform new interpretations of tracks from across his career. Keeping the essence of what made those songs so distinct while twisting them into new shapes, the new arrangements and live instruments add new harmonic layers and depth to tracks, dialling into the emotional core that’s always been at the heart of his music but with an even greater focus on texture and atmosphere. Demonstrating his progressive approach to his craft, these new interpretations bring his back catalogue in line with latest evolution of his sound.

I've read that the nights have been recorded, I don't know if it's true.

I went on the Sunday, all a bit 'meh' for me personally - I'd heard great things about the Saturday night so was really looking forward to it but a lot of it felt rushed and ill though out. The percussion section didn't really chime with the electronics, the sound didn't seem to be that clear in the first half, although they seemed to have ironed it out come the second half and I can't really get past some of the vocals either, some of them being really cheesy.

Anyhow - to answer your question, it was being officially recorded yes as I saw a couple of camera men there - not sure how it'll be released though..

I'm sure Evil Concussion was there recording both in HD, what with him being a big mover and shaker in the industry. LOL.

I dunno. I'm not the one asking for YouTube videos, set lists, or details on an event akin to a Cream Classical night.

i'd be intrigued to hear this. i couldnt make, but i have to admit the video doesn't fill me with a lot of hope. it looks a bit weak in terms of a live performance. a little too manufactured....

£40 for a gig on the sloping floor of Brixton Academy.

Disappointing choice of venue at Brixton considering his previous visits.
