Sasha FundacionNYC compilation
Saturday, 21st May 2005 at 3:37 pm / Words: Andrei Rusu
After his seminal ‘Involver’ album released last year through GU, Sasha is back on the forefront to deliver his revolutionary mix CD concept. ‘FundacionNYC’ is a snapshot of Sasha’s recent residencies New York’s Crobar and LA’s Avalon, capturing the spirit and the sound of Fundacion the night.
“Involver was my experiment with Ableton, my remix project. It really pushed the capabilities of Ableton in the studio.” Explains Sasha, “Fundacionnyc captures what I can now do with Ableton in a live capacity, this is my mix album”.
To mix the album Sasha a technician friend worked for months creating a bespoke, state-of-the-art mixing console that was nicknamed The Maven. This one-of-a-kind custom designed controller, along with Ableton Live software and an Apple G5, enables Sasha to sample, loop, layer and re-edit live in the booth and has transformed his DJing. “It’s like a live performance every night,” says Sasha. “It’s the ultimate DJ experience.”
