ok, but look at Tiesto, relatively a n00b, owning them both together numbers-wise... i know people will say you can't just throw away the achievements in the past, but we live in the "now"! new ways of producing and mixing music can't just be ignored. if you don't get with the times, or better yet, try to jump ahead of the current standard - you will be lost among the "average joes", and no matter how loud your name is or was - success will be out of reach. i'm not saying the veterans don't try their hardest to do so... it's just more of a challenge for them to keep re-inventing their styles, compared to the younger generation, full of new ideas, focusing on experimenting with the sound and crowd, rather than worrying about their old fan base, who want more of the same... is it not true that some hardcore clubbers are pretty cold to JZ's amazing techniques, since they grew up on Sasha and Digweed?
crap, it's 7am, i think i'm just ranting now... good night.

who's whose protege!
to be honest, i've always found Sasha's stuff on the monotonous repetitious side... in other words, sort of bland. can't say i was of better opinion about Digweed either...
but!
these recent sets of Sasha... me like! i think he's finally living up to his huge reputation, at least in my eyes(ears). and it's not hard to figure out what(or who) influenced his work, you know... James and Sasha working together has definitely done some good for the both of them, but i say - Sasha picked up a few tricks from JZ!
discuss.
