Sasha

[danbailey80]

For anyone thinking of going to the Glade on Thursday here is a recent set...

https://soundcloud.com/sashaofficial/sasha-avalon-hollywood-26th-april-2014

He doesn't play Trance anymore so don't expect it!

Sadly I can't make it in time due to work commitments. Does anyone know if he plans to do any other sets across the weekend?

Cheers for any info

[Swine_Glasto2014]

He won't play a standard set at Glastonbury, so expect allsorts

[rubenz]

Cant see any details on any other sets over the weekend but you never know. Is at Space Ibiza on Sunday but could squeeze in a couple of secret slots in shangri la on the Friday or Saturday.

This is the set list from the Glade 2010 which was quite proggy with some more well know stuff such as Chemical Brothers, Underworld and Faithless thrown in with a bit of a drum and bass lite finale.

Sasha is the master of progressive house. Seriously excited

[danbailey80]

I'm hoping it will be a mixture of everything including some trance that will fit the glade. He's on for nearly 3 hours so surely he'll switch genres a few times

The thing I dislike abut progressive house is that, ironically, it never really goes anywhere!

This is going to be rammed isn't it...

[danbailey80]

That's a bit like Tiesto though isn't it? He used to be a big trance DJ - now he's trying to 'get down with the kids' and plays some awful cheesy tunes. However he does tend to throw in his trance classics during his sets so a bit of Sasha's older stuff might be thrown in hopefully. I don't mind house music at all either

I have actually seen Sasha in 2007 and I'm sure he played some trance. Maybe not hardcore psychodelic trance but trancey lol. Well I really like his Involver albums - does he play any of that anymore?

How dare you compare Sasha and Tiesto!

Tiesto is only one step up from the bottom than David Guetta.

2010 set was amazing, can't wait for this!

2010 set was amazing, can't wait for this!

As a massive fan of Tiesto - he has gone shite recently - he used to be so much better but seems he has turned his back on the trance genre altogether. His recent set at Radio 1's Big weekend is quite frankly bloody awful and nothing like he used to be. You are right - he is turning into David Guetta very swiftly to gain more radio play - tragic really

[Homer]

Enjoying this mix - it's got a bit more oompth than the old Northern Exposure stuff. Will have to try and see - though I imagine half the site will be thinking the same thing!

[danbailey80]

Wouldn't you consider his Involver albums to be a little trancey in places? I certainly think so or maybe I'm not down with the kids in terms of knowing the exact type of dance music in them lol

[Craig_G]

Trance isn't dead. You just have to listen to shows like Armins State Of Trance and look at the huge events in the Netherlands to see this.

Seeing as Armin is voted as the Worlds Number 1 DJ every year, I think he should be given a headline spot!

[Craig_G]

I used to go to Peach every week back in the day. The re-union a few weeks ago was amazing and such a lot of love back at Camden Palace. As a result it looks like it may be making a return.

The biggest problem is not the music - it's that the venues have been closed.

[Franky]

That set from 2010 Glasto was awesome !

[rubenz]

In 2010 in the Glade he did play a version of Xpander at the end (its been taken off the soundclound mixes) albeit a drum and bassy remix

I remember I had an essential mix CD in 1995 with Sasha, Carl Cox and Pete Tong mixes. The Sasha one only had 4 songs on there as they were all 10 minute prog monsters. This best thing I think is that he always plays the new stuff and is always evolving his sound and the latest mixes sound great.(Fatboy Slim should take note)

[jonodillieono]

I think trance has been replaced by a lot of house music now to keep up with what's being bought and what's in the charts. Shame. Trance is ace

[Franky]

Really looking forward to this set tbh, just hope it's dry !

[danbailey80]

This one?

Awesome remix ! I really had forgotten how good this guy was

[tilt]

Depends which forecast you look at tbh.

[DJL]

Really looking forward to Thursday but looking at the weather right now it's gonna piss it down all over his set

[Craig_G]

The Glade is outdoor among the trees by The Other stage. They do put tarps up over the main dance area but when it's wet it does turn into a bog.
