Re: Sasha @ Lost Horizon Festival - 04 June 2020

Aviator and Seduction aside I thought it was dreadful, just fucking noise most of it . That's just my opinion of course, full of shitty kiddy shite and not for adult consumption. Ears were hurting most of it, Just glad I didn't listen live and could move it forward. I usually love applescal but that track is a lot of bollox. He commented recently on not being able to imagine playing banging club music and that shows because this isn't the shit he would entertain playing given half the chance I reckon. This belongs to a different generation than 50 year olds now and his passion is clearly in his luzoscuro style sets. Just playing for money and that goes for diggers too, his bunker sets absolutely piss all over his club sets ( the ones that are on the net anyway) and that's because he's playing music he likes too, not tracks he's expected to.

I think that there are quite a few DJ's out there that are just playing because they are used to a certain amount of income and couldn't do another job paying the same amount of money anywhere else.

It made me laugh when in that Sasha interview, he said that in the 90's he would land in Ibiza and go to Space and spend as much time in there as he could, now he would rather go walking in the Ibiza hills. Some of that you can put down to age though.

Re: Sasha @ Lost Horizon Festival - 04 June 2020

Yeh totes agree. What I find interesting is that they are all allegedly totally loaded so surely they can afford to be doing the things they like most. Does make me wonder why you would want to stand there playing a load of shit to kids when you neither like it or need the money.

The visuals on the Lost Horizon are fucking horrific, you can't even focus on the music. I'm 20 minutes in and I don't know how much more I can take. Sponge Bob has OD'ed. It just looks weird and creepy.

This will be this month's LNOE podcast - disappointing. Wish he'd give us the 2nd part of his set at The Bow.

How does he get away with it? Even Dixon does not play old tracks that aren't exclusives!

Re: Sasha @ Lost Horizon Festival - 04 June 2020

Why is everyone so sure, that track at 21:02 is his own track?

Re: Sasha @ Lost Horizon Festival - 04 June 2020

Whilst I'm not going to argue with those who found the decision to use this set for the latest LNOE podcast "lazy", as he explains in the intro, other people asked for a copy of it (and I appreciate we are spoilt with access to quality rips of these kinds of sets, but not everyone is a savy or has such good taste as us ;)), and he also included an unused first "take" that went unaired as he felt it was too clubby. So 50% of it is exclusive to the podcast.

It's pretty clear from the fact the LNOE podcast is no longer on a regular schedule that he is struggling to do anything meaningful with the show during lockdown now he has no "new" sets to use for it. I agree, it's a good opportunity to use classic sets, or do a studio mix like the Bunker Sessions, but for whatever reason he clearly isn't interested in doing this. It's a shame, but it's his choice.

Re: Sasha @ Lost Horizon Festival - 04 June 2020

The bottom line is that he's lost every bit of interest in DJ'ing that he once had. This is plainly obvious with the quality of his sets and a general lack of willingness to produce anything fresh and meaningful. The writings been on the wall for years and this period has pretty much galvanised it. Yes age has something to with it but there are plenty of DJ's out there older than him that are pleasing large crowds, and haven't lost that Buzz. It's called being professional. Is sasha being professional, expecting the same salary per hour for worse material and lazy arse DJ'ing, or is he within his right to do whatever he wants? He is after all a performer. Ask yourself that. Back in Sasha's heyday he was one of the best remixers/producers and probably the best DJ. Now he is neither. Riding on his own coattails of past success. Perhaps technology has something to with it. When everything went digital and he went onto Maven and Ableton he even said himself he was jumping up and down like a skool kid. What's out there to stimulate people like him now? Same tracks, made in the same way, in the same clubs to the same nob-end crowds of people who piss themselves as soon as they hear an electronic beat. Where is the change in technology that makes you sit up and think 'wow this is the future'? I don't blame the guy for preferring the hills in Ibiza now to the clubs in Ibiza. I would, and besides he's had a good run. Clubbing is pretty much finished for now anyway with this virus. You cant be part of an atmosphere in a club that can now only take 50 people with social fucking distancing. So Sasha probably has resigned himself into forced retirement, in some sort of way. If he cant be bothered now, there's an even slimmer chance of him rekindling that passion when clubs re-open again, if any of them actually do. There's no financial margins in a club that can only take a 1/3 of the footfall. You either have to make bigger clubs to take more people at reduced numbers or charge more for admittance. Either way clubs are finished, for now anyway, and so is Sasha

He stopped caring about dance music a while ago, imho.

Re: Sasha @ Lost Horizon Festival - 04 June 2020

The real music is dead in the early 90s (94)...after that only boring noise. DJs like Digweed and Sasha are overrated...never heard a decent set from these two. My 2 cents.

Re: Sasha @ Lost Horizon Festival - 04 June 2020

^^^ never really?

Also, nothing good sense early 90s, yet your still here. Why bother?
