I’ve been unforgivably AWOL for the last month and a bit, for which I must apologise. Until now I’d been working late nights on a rather insane project and had generally been getting distracted by life’s little quirks. This blog post finds me one day after finishing the aforementioned project (and also not having full use of my computer thanks to a faulty iPhone updater)

Excuses aside, I was pretty darn excited when I heard that Sasha was bringing us a follow-up to his excellent 2004 mix CD, Involver. If you didn’t hear the release (you should buy it), the album was basically a DJ set with a quirk: each track was a unique remix by the DJ himself, all of which were carefully arranged to make a really impressive flow of tracks. The selections were great, and the remixes were hot.

After a lacklustre release in the form of Fundacion NYC (which was, IMHO, a pretty ordinary mix CD), Sasha looks like he’s back to take things to another level. And does the tracklist look killer or what?

1. Intro – Badger
2. You Are The Worst Thing In The World – Telefon Tel Aviv
3. Flesh – Rone
4. Eclipse – Sasha vs Ray LaMontagne
5. Lowlife – Sasha vs Adam Parker
6. Midnight – Charlie May
7. Arcadia – Apparat
8. That You Might – Home Video
9. Destroy Everything You Touch – Ladytron
10. Couleurs – M83
11. The Eraser – Thom Yorke
12. 3 Little Piggys – Sasha
13. Sometimes I Realise – Engineers

I needn’t make too much of a fuss about the quality of the artists represented here. Needless to say, I am excited.

The disc is slated to be released on September 5, and will be heard quite clearly within 5km radius of my block for a good few weeks, I’m sure.
