Interesting that Sasha - who has recently given up vinyl - says part of inspiration for current Involver CD was experimentation by Richie Hawtin with Final Scratch. Also admires Jeff Mills and says he is one DJ he hopes never gives up vinyl as he is such a technically brilliant DJ. Mean to post reports on recent Mills tour and excellent Three Ages film showing & enlightening Q&A in Melb, but been too stressed with work - will come soon.
