Album Notes
Recording information: 2004.
Unlike dance mixes that are simply compilation CDs consisting of hits blended together in a continuous flow, DJ Sasha's INVOLVER is a mix that features both the artist's own music and exclusive tracks from other electronic artists. The resultant vibe is more like a traditional single-artist album than a collection of unrelated songs. In addition to the usual mixer and turntable techniques that form the basis of dance DJs' stock-in-trade, Sasha employs cutting-edge computer manipulation and a wide array of vintage synthesizers to blur the line between fully produced recordings and live improvisatory disc-spinning. Using his trademark trance aesthetic as a starting point, Sasha establishes a spare, cool-as-ice feel with a distinctly European flavor. He maintains this throughout, slowly building the tracks with the care of a painter, and ultimately delivering an album equally suited for the club or a post-party headphone session.
Industry Reviews
Stylistically, he veers far off the progressive path, offering moody textures, fractured breaks and crunching guitars...
3 1/2 stars out of 5 - [O]ne satisfying set....This is Sasha's most substantial work in years.
