Free Music Review: Awesome CD by Sasha
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a great CD from Sasha. I like it even better than Involver. In some ways one could say that this is a follow up on Involver, where Sasha once again plays with seemless mixes and re-editions of tracks blending the into a great musical journey. It is not strictly a dance CD, although I found myself dancing to several of these tracks, some of which I think are very sexy. The CD/journey seems to have three distinct parts, an initial build up part that is very nice but not mindblowing, a second part from tracks 5 to 14 which I found amazing as well as very dreamy, subtle, dancable and sensual and a last part that is Sasha's version of electronic punk- or at least this is what it sound like to this old Brit, like sasha was mixing in some of the hard rock punk music of his youth in here. I was really into that sort of stuff back in the day, so I enjoyed this unusually pretty hard banging selection. The only critique that I would have on what I otherwise consider an awe inspiring CD, is that the transition between part 2 and 3 is a little cluncky. The first time I listened to it my insides reacted to that transition like to chalk on the blackboard. It just grated. However after several listens, I can see what he was doing here, although I still think the Cd would have benefited from a smoother transition, which would have made it an absolute masterpiece. As it is I still rate it at 5 stars and overall think this is an exceptional piece of music, which has more depth and quality than any of what passes itself for trace these days. A great CD from a timeless master DJ.
Fundacion NYC Poster
2004 Grammy Award Nominee Sasha returns with the highly anticipated follow-up to the hottest and most critically acclaimed electronic music album of 2004: Involver. To be clear, the most exciting thing about this release is that this is not "Involver 2", the Involver concept is Sasha finding the space between artist, producer, and DJ. Fundacion on the other hand, is a whole new take on DJing. He's given up the turntables and CD players in exchange for a custom designed mixing setup that uses the Ableton "Live" software and a one of a kind controller that Sasha has dubbed "MAVEN" to create a never before heard kind of mixing.To showcase this new technology and its sonic capablities, Sasha launched a bi-coastal residency (at New York's Crobar and Los Angeles's Avalon) with the closing party in New York being the launch party for the fruition of the entire endeavor: the Fundacion mix CD.
Fundacion will be the recorded version of what Sasha has been doing live at his residencies: effortless on-the-fly re-edits, mash ups, and flawless blends.
Wax will always have its place of honor, but MIDI controllers, laptops and other forms of technical wizardry continue to inspire DJs throughout the land. In 2004, one of the world's most popular, Sasha, performed extended aural surgery on his Involver release, molding ten tracks into a softer, vaguely ambient, yet still lethally danceable m?lange. But live, the studio tricks didn't translate with such panache. So he built his own tool, a box of circuits, knobs and processors he calls MAVEN, and took it for a test run on Fundacion. The result, ironically, will make you forget all about the fancy gadgetry, since that's not the side of the brain that involves motor function. More house-oriented and playful, this is Sasha's most overtly dance floor-oriented release since 1999's Ibiza. 17 tracks are thoroughly diced and sliced, served up hot with sides of electro ("Electromagnetic") and driving pop (the album-ending one-two punch of Goldfrapp and M83, for instance). Say what you will about DJs without turntables, but no matter how innovative the means, the end goal remains the same: delirious crowds and late-night bliss. In a world where music has broken up into tiny digital pieces, astute artists like Sasha are only adapting. --Matthew Cooke
