Fundacion – What is it?

It's Sasha's new party/residency in NYC and LA and will serve
as the introduction of a new piece of technology inside the
DJ booth - MAVEN his one of a kind, custom designed controller.
Creating a live 100% digital experience using this controller, an
Apple laptop and Ableton Live software, Sasha will be leaving the
turntables behind. The new controller allows Sasha to not only
exhibit his stellar track selection and mixing skills, but to literally
re-edit every song he's playing on the fly. With the ability to sample,
loop, and fuse elements from multiple songs at once through
digital technology, Sasha will truly be revolutionizing his live DJ
performance.


"I built a custom controller because I think the idea of DJing
with a mouse isn't very cool. Everything on the screen can be
manipulated with this controller." Sasha told LA City Beat
(June 24-30, 2004). "The accessibility of music via the internet
has taken some of the mystery away from DJing," he continues.

"I used to come to America and play for people; there was no
way they could get those records,or if they could it would
take months of searching, and so there was a uniqueness to
my sound. In the last 3-4 years new electronic music tracks
have become so available on the internet mere days after their
release that it pushes things to another level. This technology
will move things forward and enable you to give unique
performances every time you play. A set of Technics turntables
and a mixer is not enough for me now. It's time to move on.”
