News about Sasha...Sasha ditches using vinyl and progressive

[DJ Cubano]

quote from Sasha that might interest you all:

“In about three weeks time I’m ditching vinyl and CDs to go out on the road using my computer and that’s going to allow me to mix anything with everything,” said Sasha.

“I’m now actively distancing myself from that progressive sound that was previously attached to me, because it really doesn’t hold much interest for me anymore,” he revealed.

I told you codeblue, progressive is only going to last so long .

DJ Sasha dismissed reports on the web this week that he been angry when a record he ripped off the decks struck a girl in the face, telling Skrufff that he’d actually been larking around, when a dirty record got stuck in its groove.

“I was two thirds into my set, the place was going off and I was enjoying myself when the record started jumping,” said Sasha.

“By the third time it happened, the whole crowd was cheering and I ripped it off and threw it up in the air in an overly theatrical way, certainly not in frustration. I was just being a bit silly and theatrical and I guess the record boomeranged onto something and hit this poor girl on the head.”

The incident happened at Cardiff’s Time Flies event, and effectively finished the party there and then, though Sasha was also keen to refute allegations that he’d been subsequently manhandled from the decks by bouncers.

“Her boyfriend grabbed hold of me, thinking that I’d thrown a glass at her or something and took me backstage and I went into this room with him to see this poor girl there with blood all over her face,” he continued.

“After I’d seen that I was freaked out, I didn’t know how the girl was and I didn’t want her to think I didn’t give a fuck (care-slang ed), by going back on and playing. I was flipped out by the whole thing.”

Sasha said he’s since been in contact with the girl who’s now fully recovered and will be entertaining her and her boyfriend at his next Fabric gig in July. Coincidentally he’ll also have ditched using vinyl altogether by then as well as much of the music he used to play, he said.

“In about three weeks time I’m ditching vinyl and CDs to go out on the road using my computer and that’s going to allow me to mix anything with everything,” said Sasha.

“I’m now actively distancing myself from that progressive sound that was previously attached to me, because it really doesn’t hold much interest for me anymore,” he revealed.

“I think it’s time to move on, maybe I’m looking back to ‘85 instead of ’95.” He added.

I might actually start enjoying Sasha again. Let's hope he doesn't "BT" his way into this new style.

It seems to me that this is just Sasha's way of trying to get out of being pigeonholed. It's something artists hate and the press loves to do. Even Paul Van Dyk doesn't like being called "Trance Dj" but that doesn't mean he going to go up there and play a set of french house.

No one can even really agree on what 'progressive' means. It's vague, like "alternative rock", so a lot of stuff that doesn't really fit neatly into house or trance gets thrown in there. I've heard some of Involver, and it easily fits my idea of what progressive sounds like.
