    The essential mix went out live last night with sasha who has pioneered the use of ableton live and computers in his set.

    Using a software package called Ableton Live, Sasha will be remixing and re-editing tracks from his library on the hoof creating a two hour, improvised set.

    Sasha has been at the leading edge of dance and DJ culture since his rise from Shelly's and The Hacienda back in the late 1980's.

    Im not a fan of him but this might be interesting to a lot of people who have or are considering getting this excellent bit of software.

    Listening to this now...seems very good although I'm sure there are plenty of cynics (see the reviews) who won't be impressed. Would be much better with a video feed.

    Thanks!

    I've been curious as to how well-known DJs would take to software solutions including Traktor and Ableton. IMO this is the way forward for DJing - this kind of thing, with the possibilities of remixing a track with a couple of clicks, I find far more exciting than anything that can be done with a couple of decks.

    Like CD decks, I'm sure there will be a good few stalwart traditionalists bemoaning the changes at first, but I'm sure they'll gain more popularity as people get over their hangups and try out superior technology.

    They seem to be taking off big time at the moment. I had a good listen to that sasha mix and to be honest im impressed. The possibilites are endless with a software package like ableton live and the pros very much out weigh the cons in the computer vs vinyl battle.

    Looks like its here to stay.

    It's already out on the web so yes I'd say so. In the meantime listen to the stream, it's pretty sweet.

    Myself, I'm coming round to the idea that it's the end product that counts - skill etc. are necessary and to be admired, but if a talented DJ can't rock the place at the same time he goes down in points. Best is a proven mix of all talents - from vinyl upto ableton.

    Sasha has a new mix LP called Fundacionnyc out next month, see here. “Fundacionnyc captures what I can now do with Ableton in a live capacity, this is my mix album”.
