Ive just WON the lottery

[daygo]

All I can say is I used to know the guy pretty well..........djed with him probably 40 or 50 times, warming up for him and him even warming up for us on occasion (!)............a nicer more down to earth bloke you'ld be hard pressed to meet. Went out socially a few times as well.....about as far from the arsehole dj as possible.

Not seen him since about 99 but I doubt he's changed.

 

[blue jammer]

It could well be his Management answer all requests for old skool events on his behalf, maybe he has sold all his records from yesteryear, if that's the case, he'd have to borrow a load of records to do an old skool night...

From what I've read (interview after he put out his Airdrawndagger - which I thought was superb) he came across as a top bloke, down to earth and reading that he'd nearly lost his hearing was pretty freaky, that's one of my worst fears.

Rate him as a producer, only heard him play as a DJ twice and was just 'ok'.

met the "man like" a few times whilst raving,funniest was in hippo's in middleton when he was with the stoke crew,daz willot n others i got introduced to.had a right old chin wag with him n his mates whilst we was off our tits,took me about half an hour tho to actually realise it was him as he introduced himself by his real name.
DAMO

what better acollade can we get than one of the top dj's @ renaissance comments.


top stuff!!!


closest I ever got to seeing Sasha close up was @ cream about 95/96 when he played his first gig there for c. 2years. he was carried around the dancefloor to rapturous cheers from the whole club, the previous dj just had to turn his deck off!, Alexander had a huge grin on his face and looke in no way up his own $pinkter

Personally I think some of the things said in this thread are offensive and about as far from the truth as is possible. ...........I get asked all the time to do Old Skool nights , and I could make a fair bit of wedge from doing so, as many from my peer group are, BUT it is of no interest to me simply because those days are long gone.

This is not said with any snobbery , or 'been there before you lot' attitude, it's just a personal decison I've made not to return to djing /production. And as such people have got to respect it............same with Sasha. He was not made famous by the Old Skool scene ,he was simply playing the cutting edge records of the time as I'm sure he is now. Some of those records are great , some are cack, but obviously what excites him is moving forwards all the time.

This is an intersting and generally good natured forum which I enjoy having a read of when I've got a moment...........enjoy the music.phones: phones:

Sasha

I have breifly met Sasha when he played up at Angels in Burnley and the guy seemed sound. I remember him when he used to play at Andersons in Openshaw (Manchester) before him and Pig C got it started down in Stoke at Shellys. The man didnt shunn me instead he waved my mate over to the DJ box to shake his hand as well, corny stuff I know but come on its Alexander Coe people.

Now Daygo, thanks for clearing that up. You dont go around slagging people off unless you have hard solid facts about what your saying.
Typical osa yet again, people slaggin off successful dj's for no apparent reason. now we have has sasha, stu allan, paul taylor and daz willot. Considering people on this website are suppose to love old skool, all they do is slag it off and its the same people every time.Either its the tunes, or dj's or certain clubs. The thing that gets me is that if sasha was to ever register on this site everyone would lick his arse just like they all did when stu allan joined.
I would not mind if any of the people slagging the likes of saaha or stu allan off were mint superstar dj's who had travelled the world but none of yas are yet yas all try and talk like you are. Its fair to say I have never met a bunch of more arrogant and full of shit people who are up their own arses than certain people on this website, yet unlikie someone like saha or stu allan they have never done fukk all to warrant such an attitude

and breath easty.....



at the end of the day your talking of a couple of throwaway comments inbetween 200,000 posts of peoples opinions. i think george bush is a cock. i might say it now n again. ive never met the guy like but i wouldtn say i shouldnt say it. if i met ol george n he was right with me id say so

as i say were talking of a couple of throwaway comments not meant in real malice etc, there then usually taken totally out of context, argued with over and over again and took round a roundabout about a million times - usually by one member

if you dont like the forum and the people that visit then by all means dont visit, noone is forcing you too. and if you can find a forum out there that is a euphoric heaven like internet playground that complies with your code of conduct then please let me know as id really like to join

Easty LOL, glad your back on mate LOL

Isn't there is a distinction to be made between not liking Sasha and not liking what Sasha plays. If people don't like him because he trys something different or doesn't want to play "old skool" again then its a whole world away from disliking him due to his personality. Who gives a toss whether Sasha is a twat or is a dead nice guy who does his grans shopping? I've got a few of his mix's enjoy some - don't enjoy others :|

Butty dont ever tell me what to think or what to say, I've not criticised anyone or slagged canyone of personaly, so whats your problem. What your saying then is thats its ok to come on an old skool music site, be racist, sexist,slag of the disabled, take the piss out of dj's, be arrogant ans generally be a tit. Yet if I put it your own way, you have a code of conduct and you dont take the piss out of people and you will say your out of order if you believe it then you get as essay written of butty. Go take a look at yourself if what i have written would have been typed by any other person on this site you would not have raised an eyebrow.
Now if u want rid of me then ban me for life, if your not gonna do that then shut the fukk up

[seandelier]

Hi guys,

Did anyone hear the 10 yr anniversary renaissance mix on radio 1?/ him and diggers played mismoplastico, vfr and that stereogen trak (attack the dancefloor like a bulldozer). They extended virtualmismo slightly but it sounded ace.. If he played them then he cant be that adversed to a little old skool mix up one night... Someone phone im!!!! tell him we are from renaissance but the secret kind and we want a party....

I wonder what he would play first... he must have some crackin tracks hidden away!!!

'nice and easy lemon squeezy!'
