VA, Involver - Mixed by Sasha, CD

Asteroid · #1 (**permalink**) May 18, 04

Global Underground have released the final tracklist for Sasha's very long awaited latest compilation... Involver. Sasha is bringing something new to the table with this CD as he comments; "I'm embracing technology to attain a new interpretation of mixing. Involver is my experiment."

Taking a strong approach with the focus purely on the music, Sasha brings only 10 tracks on this release, but expect nothing but some of the best as these are not the original versions. Each of the 10 tracks is an original Sasha remix or (re-creation) provided exclusively for the recording of Involver.
As Sasha puts it... “Things like The Youngsters and Spooky are tracks that I’ve been playing for two or three years. I’m presenting them back out into the world again my own way which is exactly what DJs always talk about doing. They don’t have the tools to do that when they are in a club. The fact that I got all the separate parts to the mixes and put it all back together to create my own sound is the ultimate form of DJing.”

Sasha's touch of remix-gold could certainly mark a new era of compilations but we will have to wait and see. Involver is set to be released June 14 (UK & Rest of the World) and June 22 (USA and Canada) on Single CD with a Limited Edition Pillow Pack CD and a Double Vinyl.

its probably his best mix to date, i didnt really dig the first couple tracks but he builds the intensity as only mr. coe can - that last track holy smokes! its so rocky and dancey. i didnt know what it was called until your tracklisting, i have to try and track it down.. either that or bootleg it! ;)
