Yeah I read that interview too, all the tracks in the compilation are remixed by Sasha, he spun some of the tracks on a private party on the Miami WMC, so I hope we can listen to some stuff soon.
Hope somebody have more info on this |

SASHA SET TO RELEASE INNOVATIVE NEW ALBUM
Sasha is set to bring a fresh twist to the DJ mix CD concept with a unique album series for the acclaimed Global Underground label, promising a very welcome return to the label that released his world renowned, award winning San Francisco and Ibiza albums a few years ago.
The first CD of his new multi-album deal with the label is due out Spring 2004, and it will be no ordinary DJ album, it will blur the lines between artist album and DJ mix. Sasha will write, remix, re-produce or re-edit all the tracks on the album, making each song an exclusive contribution to this mix.
“By doing it like this, I really feel it’s a step forward, it gets my creative juices flowing and it feels like a natural continuation from my artist album,” says Sasha. “There are lots of gems promised for the album including some brand new original Sasha productions.
This also marks Sasha's first release since his groundbreaking 2002 debut artist album Airdrawndagger which has sold over 150,000 copies worldwide. “Airdrawndagger took up so much of my time, such a chunk of my life, so I’m really excited about giving my DJing some attention,” Sasha says. “I’m looking forward to showing people out there where my head is at musically.”
Sasha is currently in the studio working on the finishing stages of his mix. “I want it to be a bit more eclectic than my other CDs. And I’m not necessarily worried about this super smooth continuous club mix. I’m interested in something that jumps tempo and vibe, it’s not going to sound like a standard club mix.”
Sasha is recognised as one of the worlds’s most innovative and iconic DJs and it comes as no surprise that his first mix album in almost four years is certain to attract international attention. Music-lovers deserve something more creative from compilation albums--and that’s exactly what this new Sasha work is all about: exclusive tracks especially prepared by the man himself that you can’t get anywhere else and mixed in his inimitable style.
Sasha knew there was only one label he could work with for his new mix album which is why he signed an extensive deal with Global Underground. “I think Global Underground is a really important brand for dance music,” he says. “They’ve been really important in my career. And they continue to be an essential part of spreading DJ culture around the world. When I wanted to do a mix compilation, they were the first people I thought of.”
Andy Horsfield – director of GU commented “This is a massive project for GU, it's an amazing opportunity for us to work with Sasha again and give his fans worldwide a unique listening experience.”
The new Sasha album will be released in Spring 2004 with tour dates throughout the spring/summer in Australia, Asia, North America, the UK and Europe. |

| Yes, the cocnept is taken from "Politics of Dancing"...and i think it's a good one. This shows the DJing AND Producing side of an artist....They couldn't have found a better one than Sasha. |

| wow, that's amazing. It'll be a sort of what Paul van Dyk did with The Politics of Dancing, but go even deeper by redoing the whole thing. Exiciting news! I'm really looking forward to this. |

| It should be awesome, especially if the tunes are of the GU:Ibiza quality. Then, with an added special Sasha touch, it'll be money. I can't wait! :eyespop: |
