Sasha’s Involver record released back in 2004 was one of the early reasons i got interested in dance music, with its eclectic palette of sounds that took me on a listening journey of sorts. the release of the second volume in the series was recently announced to be in early September. having attended the Global Underground Involver 2 Preview Party at WMC this year, i’ve definitely been anticipating hearing more of the music from that night in detail. my first taste since is now available for listening on Sasha’s Facebook Page, featuring samples of his remixes of M83’s “Couleurs” and Ladytron’s “Destroy Everything You Touch”. the M83 track doesn’t really do it for me, because I don’t think Sasha’s remix really adds anything to the original, but the Ladytron track is a real gem. not having heard the original, i don’t have much basis for comparison, except to say that it’s a damn fine piece of production from what i have heard of it. it’s the one track from the Preview Party that i distinctly remember, and it definitely got a strong response from the crowd at Mynt Lounge that night.
read more about Involver 2 in an interview i did with Sasha & John Digweed for Progressive-Sounds back in April during the early stage of their US Spring Tour which kicked off during WMC.
