Here is an interview with Sasha from movement magazine about Involver 2. Quite an interesting read:

‘We caught up with Sasha this WMC during the Global Underground Involver2 party and asked him a few quick one’s about the new album.

How is Involver2 going to be different from the last outing?

This album is going to be a pure electronic album. The drums are pure 808s and 909s. It gets a four on the floor really quickly and stays there. The last album started off with a shimmery guitar record and went off into spanish guitars and ended up with Ulrich Schnauss at 140bpm. This record is much more leading and much more pure but really uplifting. You could say it’s more minimal but it is not a minimal record.

Are you working with anyone new on this album? We’ve got Home Video, Apparat, Teflon Tel Aviv, M83, the track list is sick. How do you keep up with the change in sounds and managing to stay fresh?

Well basically as a dj you play the best records that you have got at your disposal…and play what excites you the most and keeping playing and try to make best each set.

What about as a producer are your techniques changing?

All the time. I went out and bought about $2000 worth of guitar pedals and ever single sound I’ve got has been processed with a guitar pedal…To go through those is so much more statisfying then opening up a plugin and spending 5 hours with it.

You have also been releasing tracks under your new label Emfire what been the driving force behind that?

We have a lot of tracks that we finished we were thinking what should we do with these. Ten years ago we would have signed a record deal but there are no record labels anymore that want to sign deals so I figured why not just do my own. I don’t have an office its just downloads and a digital ep and it has a whole new track and feel to the releases of the track.

Look for Involver2 release later this year.’


Oooooh might have to dig out Involver again. That was an incredible album

Nice read.. thanks..

i do still listen to Involver every now and again, it's a great album. cant wait for the next installment

Involver 2???

*wets pants*

I love involver, listened to it just last week.

minimal is a bandwagon everyone has been jumping on recently. but you know it'll be done so well after hearing the new things he's been adding to the table of minimal-style techy tracks. I'm looking forward to it.

especially the m83 part!!! i love those guys.... teen angst is one of my favourite shoegaze tracks ever.
I did a mix recently with a mogwai track as part of the intro. so why not. obviously it'll be a remix on his album.

erm. kool.

Cheers, sounds like it could be a worthwile listen. On that note im about to stick on my sparkly new copy of his Emfire releases album that i received only yesterday. :-)

has anyone got an recent sasha mixes worth a listen? summit with a bit of grit maybe on a trippy note!!?

I'll be very interested to hear Sasha's take on Minimal

It's minimal, its dull and lacks any emotional resonance. If Involver 2 is anything like this, i'll be steering well clear.

P.S Sasha is still a legend due to previous efforts.

It aint great, but its only a one hour snapshot, so its hard to judge the whole set on this clip.

The last REALLY great mix Sasha mix i've heard was the Sasha & John Digweed - Live at Bonnaroo last year.

P.S Sasha is still a legend due to previous efforts.

AGREED
