back2basics- Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 Celebrating being named number one DJ in dotmusic and DJ magazine's poll of the world's top 100 spinners, Sasha told us, "I was amazed, I'm really, really happy and buzzing - I didn't expect it at all. I'm absolutely blown away by it."Talking about the album of his own original material that has been promised for the past five years, Sasha told us, "I'm gonna go for it, stay at home and not do any gigs and get it finished." "I'm working on a lot of breakbeat stuff, electro kinda beats and stuff. I'm working with Charlie May from Spooky so it's got a lot of that Guerrilla, old school feel to it"------------------I want to go out blazing..not fade away.When the party was in progress and unidentified frequency has been existing in the system for some time - Freak Frequency Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scorpio876 Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 OK,When it comes do techno/dance music, I know my s**t, but exactly are Sasha and you meaning by breaks and beats? I've heard different people say different things, and am a little confused. Are you meaning funky hard beats, with a strong bassline, or more d&b-like breaks? Give me some examples of artists/DJs/tracks like this . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D&B doesn't work on the dancefloor, most white folks just look stupid But nu-school breaks work better, and still have those sublime B-lines.We all know we want the big chunky, hard, wobbley B-line.. it's just getting them in a form that works... speed garage never too off, but with peeps like Sasha getting on, it helps the cause.------------------I want to go out blazing..not fade away.When the party was in progress and unidentified frequency has been existing in the system for some time - Freak Frequency Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

back2basics- Posted January 25 Author Report Share Posted January 25 Yeh these nu-school breaks are slightly different. They have more repetative beat formations (like house).Get Adam Freelands - TechtonicsI will bet $50 (on top of the $2.99), that what Sasha does on his album follows the same style as the tracks Freeland put together.mark my words ------------------I want to go out blazing..not fade away.When the party was in progress and unidentified frequency has been existing in the system for some time - Freak Frequency Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deenyc22 Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 i think break beats are difficult to implement. sasha has done it a few times. once i thought it was great, the other sounded forced, and chilled out an amazing vibe.carl cox threw them in a set not too long ago, that was fucking awesome, he blew it up with the breaks.

crommy Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 B2B, I was wondering when someone was going to bring up Adam Freeland. His stuff on Tectronics is awesome.I love listening to breaks, but dancing to it is a little more challenging. DJs/producers gotta go out and try new sounds sometimes, or else they can get stale and boring. (Even Mr. Howells threw in a little breakbeat action Saturday nite -- worked like a charm) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolimit Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 Not a big fan of breaks but I don't mind when I hear the shit that Craig & Lee play, and let me not forget about Adam Freeland. Those guys know what time it is with the breaks.Icey, are u kidding me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
