It’s been a few years since Sasha has had a residency anywhere in the world. As much as fans could dream, make rumors (hoping it might spark ideas) and hope, the thought of the world’s best (don’t tell Djmag) and busiest DJ having a residency seemed unconceivable.
But the wait is over. At least if you live in New York or Los Angeles, Dj Sasha has announced Fundacion: a couple of monthly residencies in New York at Crobar, NYC and Los Angeles at Avalon, Hollywood. This is the first residency Sasha has had since the legendary days of Club Twilo in Manhattan where he and a certain Mr. John Digweed planted musical seeds through their residency that have spawned delicious musical fruits which fans still savor to this day.
Fundacion will provide a laboratory for Sasha to experiment new music and digital technology which he has recently embraced as the future of live Djing, including the software Ableton live and a new console custom designed for Sasha to have all the controls inside the software at his hands, without using decks or a mouse.
Perhaps this is the reward that New York and Los Angeles get for having voted for John Kerry as opposed to Bush or maybe they’re just lucky, either way, it gives us all something to look forward to. Full coverage of the Los Angeles events including reviews and photos of the Sasha gigs will be provided by Los Angeles based photographer Dariography for RA.Sasha Residency Dates:
