Sasha is one of the greatest artists to ever exist on this planet. So underrated it’s almost criminal.

[maxiqums]

Sasha has adapted to so many eras in dance music through 30 years it's just criminal to call him a progressive house DJ. In the beginning he used to play a lot of R&S Records rave tracks and a lot of italo-house and vocal diva house and those 15 minutes lengthy of BT or Blue Amazon epic house, then it turned into more Progressive in the 96, but he played a lot of Acid or Trance or Breaks as well in those sets especially during the rising of Florida Breakbeat scene, he used to play a lot of breakbeat in his US sets especially. His sets in UK and US were different, he played more progressive in London but at the same time he could play more the likes of Tenaglia or Morales tracks in the US as those were more appreciated and more inner sound of US in particular. In the late 90s he started to use more Hooj Choons and all that Quivver/Oliver Lieb stuff. His essential mix 2000 is the epitomy of prog genre to me, that was kinda a synthetic sound but in not Anjunabeats awful synthetic way. He has a taste definitely, like he really rarely play cheesy music. Now to say that I would hear Sasha's promo 1990 and then his essential mix 10 years later I wouldn't think even a second that's the same DJ. Too bad Sasha's prime ended earlier than youtube started growing up. Even in XXI century he tried to use Carl Craig remixes that really shine and also incorporate new electro-house scene into his scene, that may be a controversial time in Sasha's career, but it's not particularly his fault, that era probably just couldn't fit Sasha's style of building sets, well at least he tried. Then it was his Ushuaia chillout house parties and Involver 3 and never say never compilations, he started to use more echo sounds, started to use less progressive sound into more classic 4/4 and even some techno. Sometimes they even play some Drumcodish techno b2b Digweed in something like Ultra festivals. Also his latest Luzoscura compilation was a thing for a moment he probably tired of house for some time

Sasha is not just a DJ, he’s a musical genius.

I can't be the only one totally obsesses with Channel Deq? 2 minutes of sheer perfection.

Just got news before I hit the toilet that a pastor in town, had a massive stroke earlier in the week. Honest, heart felt prayers for comfort & healing gladly welcomed. All others: Don’t mention it.

Ever listen to something so beautiful that it brings tears to your eyes? This is one of those somethings. ❤❤❤

[MrJohndory]

I was there. Best gig I've ever been to

[dissaid]

This is a privilege just to hear and watch this.

[blizteredthumbs]

To think he once said... my mother used to send me to piano lessons and I hated it but now? I can’t thank her enough... this man, single handedly is the inspiration for my quality of DJing .. I don’t know what it is but his mixes spoke to me back in the day, still do. In movies we lost a legend called robin williams ... one day when he departs he will be musics legend ... those who don’t understand are simply not worth explaining their misunderstanding.

6:22 - This build here is simply beautiful
10:50 - And this is probably my fave track

[canadahu]

[daviddieter]

The best ever. He is a true artist. Never stops exploring. I thought I've heard all of his stuff. Thank you for this. I danced my ass off to him in SF for years in the 90s. Will play his music at my funeral.

[Dwafiz]

Probably my favorite live performance of electronic music I've seen to date. Needs more hype and exposure!
