sasha in la tonight

Recommended Posts

yeah, sasha and john digweed made their rounds recently on the delta heavy tour, but their set was disappointingly short (less than 2 hrs!), only whetting our appetite for scrumpdiddlyumptious progressive music.

sasha's in los angeles tonight, however, on a tour stop promoting his new lp, airdrawndagger (good stuff, btw), and you can bet your sweet three-rings that our shakin' booties are gonna be there, burnin' up the dance floor for the entirety of his FOUR HOUR SET! (now *that's* more like it...) B|

i'm bursting with excitement, just had to share that. anyone else in here privvy to what the heck i'm spouting off about, anyway?

ahhhh... just got back...

highlights

6:30pm - bail on the pub to head up to la.

8:45pm - arrive at the mayan, surprised to find not much of a line!

9:30pm - music's on, and we're in. james zabiela's on the decks, and he's already stealing the show (damn good).

10:15pm - this guy's kicking my ass. three records playing simultaneously, one breakbeat and two four-on-the-floor, and he's weaving back and forth and in between them, using only the bass (eq) knobs!!!

10:45pm - zabiela drops this WICKED SICK track, haunting female vocal sample (twisted and tweaked) repeating on every measure... "burst my skin... burst my skin..."

11:00pm - cman finally decides to show up (DORK!). also notice the place is now officially PACKED.

12:20am - sasha cameos on the stage, garners shouts and screams from the throngs of fans jumping up and down to zabiela's (now peaking) set.

12:55am - sasha returns, and plugs his headphones in the decks. begins with an hour of ethereal, atmospheric choons.

2:05am - ah, recognize that one. have no idea what the hell title/artist it is, but i-like-it-a-lot.

2:55am - cool! title track from the new lp! a funky remix at that!

3:30am - there it is! that freakin' track he's had in his crates for like 2 years, and still is unreleased!!! whether "envelope - packet" or "junkie xl - breezer", i *need* to get my hands on this fine piece of feel-good wax... ooooh, and it's a mix i've never heard before. BRAVO!

3:48am - A nice touch... sasha drops in his massive crowd pleasing production of a few years ago, xpander! with the downtown la skyline in the backdrop... what a way to end the night!!!

4:05am - off to canter's for our obligatory post-club belgian waffles (the BEST!).

4:55am - on the road again... making trek back to san diego.

6:25am - singing careless whisper (yes, wham!) at the top of our lungs, struggling to keep awake for the final stretch home.

6:38am - why the hell am i typing this?

7:00am - conference call, hehehe


6 hours of dancing and 200 miles later, i'm exhausted, exhilarated, salty, and ready for work!

i love this thing called life. B|

I would do some very, very immoral things to get Sasha and John Digweed out here




Please feel free to elaborate...;)

y'all *did* have john graham out there on 1 sep, and chris fortier's coming out in november... sounds like you've got it better than, say, nebraska or something! :D
