How do DJs like Sasha find their tunes?

[DaStottman]

Obviously they receive promos and go to record shops. But in cases like with Sasha, who plays some of the most eclectic and random stuff out there, how does he find all these tunes that he plays?

i really dont think Sasha plays anything really underground. looking at his last few tracklists, nothing shocking. that's not to say it's not good, i'm just saying, he's not revolutioary like he used to be with record hunting...part of which i think is due to success and not crate digging on your own.

this goes for a lot of time jocks imo.

Every now and again he pulls something out of his arse. For instance, when he dropped Tiefschwarz's remix of Freeform 5 - 'Electromagnetic' when he was here in Orlando. The way he chopped it up in Ableton sounded superb.

I would argue that Sasha does not go to record stores. Beatport, relationships with the freshest artists, and a priveleged soulseek account
BTW do a lot of you guys use Kazaa? I found that shit riddled with adware and practically useless

Re: How do DJs like Sasha find their tunes?

Mostly the reason why his tracks are not as obscure as they once were is because of the internet and all these P2P clients which spread brand new tracks like wildfire. So therefore when you go to a club...if you're a dj, you've probably downloaded about 2/3rds of what that dj has that is spinning. Only you've downloaded it from the net as most of them get it sent to them from the actual producers.

Reagan who??

Sasha has an infinate amount of monkeys, with an infinate amount of time, the entire works of Shakespeare should be within his grasp, sadly all his monkeys can do is pull a few good big name tunes out of the hat.

yes, the tracks find sasha ... I guarantee that someone like nick warren has WAY more breadth of musical knowledge than sasha ... but sasha has an incredible ear for what will take people to THAT place ... wondering if he'll start playing some remixes of Alex Smoke. That "don't see the point" song .... I can HEAR the mix Sasha could do of that to DESTROY a dancefloor!
