In the U.K. in the 90s we had Renaissance with Sasha, John Digweed, Dave Seaman, Ian Ossia, Anthony Pappa etc. They were the greatest nights. Deep slow progressive sets building and building up for hours. We would travel the country over when they went on Tour. Sasha is the only DJ still going from the 90s that I would still travel for today. Well, him and Carl Cox. The sets would build slowly then a massive drop and bring you down again afterwards before another build resulting in a massive crescendo towards the end of the night. Very few can do this layering effect now, music would ride like a roller coaster as the drugs took hold until the lights came on. Many DJs play predefined tracks or maybe even pre mixed. These were the days of 12 inch records, the DJ quickly looking through a massive box to find a record that was required for that stage of the night... very few modern DJs have the patience to create this journey now it’s all hit after hit after hit.... you need some filler to create the journey. We didn’t have all these fancy lights and lasers, a dark room with sweat falling off the ceiling, no mobile phones, you’d have to find someone wearing a watch to know the time or wait for the first glimpse of sun to come through the sky lights. Great times.
I would say Hernan is still going strong and newish guys like Guy J are really making some great Progressive House sets. Digweed and Warren are still very entertaining as well!
50 yrs old now. Back in '95 somewhere in a field in Wales I had the best night and day of my life totally immersed in the music. Listening to this just took me right back there.
First saw Sasha when I was 17. I never liked any kind of techno, tech house, progressive, minimal type songs until I saw him. Completely changed the way I listened to music and haven’t looked back since. KING!
Same thing for me, I picked up a mate from Cape Town Airport back in 98 and he put on Sasha's San Francisco Global Underground mix in the car as we drove along Chapmans Peak drive (google it lol), an iconic, life changing moment in how I listened to music, how I appreciated it. The man is a God. I'm 42 btw :)
Caolan McCafferty well its gud to see that is still some hope in our youth still! Most kids ur age listen to nothing but straight garbage. You stay with Sasha, digweed, oakenfold, Carl cox and many more to list, but ya u will b ok, dont fry ur brain with mainstream muzik, dementia is not pretty from what I hear! 🤧🤣🤣🤣
@OXW Production I grew up on breaks and it's still my favorite electronic music, but as I grew older I got into house more. There's a dope vibe to some of it, and until it "clicks" with you it definitely sounds like boring repetitive music. Some of it's straight cheese though. Sasha spins some really good house imo.
Listen to Sasha & Digweed southfest 2005 Buenos Aires 🙏 That’s an amazing journey they take you on. Some truly incredible mixes and many proper fucked up moments if you know what I mean 😉
Through the dance music years, from the late Frankie Knuckles warehouse to now, there has never been a more skilled, thoughtful committed dj than Sasha. His abilities as both dj and producer is unparalleled. His knowledge and reading of the crowd in my opinion is what gives him the only seat at the very highest table. Thank you Sasha for being the greatest musical influence in my 44 years.
The best thing about Sasha at work here, is the fact that the hardcore of fans are dancing up front and the cameras are floating around the rear of the crowd, letting the proper fans get at it without interruption. Brilliant!
So fortunate to be of an age and living in the midlands I got to see Sasha at Shelleys, The Eclipse, Venus & Renaissance. 28 yrs later I still follow him and have tickets for his Manchester Tour date in December. By far my favourite DJ.
....I mean- he takes you along a steady ride the entire time. 5 minutes of intro into bliss... there is no other. I Listen to his sets and feel like I know him....perfectly seamless beatmatching...you are just right there with him....never has sold out. Is as true to his game as ever (and don’t get me started on the new barbicon xpander!)
@Thimble I don't think they meant playing at the festival. More so not converting to a mainstream edm dj. Not everyone could ha e lived near Shelley's at the correct time in history. Doesn't mean we are any less a fan of Sasha, or know what we are talking about
@@malcolmturnbear8584 . I'm a big fan of Sasha, but anyone and everyone can mix smoothly on CDJ'S, the have a BMP display so you know roughly where the pitch goes, also they have a sync button. Don't get me wrong I've heard him mix just as well mixing records live.
2022 and I still listen to this set in my living room. Besides, it's great that the audience felt the vibe of this set on the df. This is certainly a specific audience, who went to dance good music and not commercial "tum-parará". Anyway, this set is in my Top 50 best sets of all time. How much consistency in this set. Sasha didn't do a set, he told a story 📖 Who like John Digweed, "Major" Rush, Richie Hawtin, Chris Liebing, Umek, Jeff Mills, Carl Craig, Carl Cox, Markus Schulz (from the past, not the actual),... properly understand what I'm referring to. Good music is the key. 🎼🎶🎵🎹
i feel you, i thought exactly the same. No hate against all the DJs that pre record their sets they put a lot of work in and when they play it it's also very good, but doing all these transitions and mixing 2-4 songs together telling a story, building up the sensation everytime I hear those guys I can't help but to think that this is just another level. I love it!
It's unbelievable what passes for "good electronic" music now days, I was just watching Steve Aoki from 2023 and it was straight garbage, so lame, with two other dudes on stage with him who's purpose I still can't figure out, EDM is lame, IDM is af.
The last 20 minutes of this are what Sasha is all about......classic atmospheric build ups and drops. Best set I've heard for a while from the man himself.
Watching the crowd.....cant help but think how many don't realize just how close they are to TRUE greatness in this art form, an artist of unparalleled talent, quality and that we have been lucky enough to have our ears and hearts touched by this .....will only be when we are long gone, that it gets understood......after all......everything afterwards is exactly that......This is Sasha, this is what Faithless meant when they said - Tonight God is a DJ! #Wow Frikken WOW!
Very important statement and you're right. No hyperbole here. I listen to what he's putting out there, his label-LNOE, John Digweed, Above and Beyond and their label, and there is no sign of it slowing down or going away. Stronger than ever, the music, his genre. There's a new guy, Luttrell from San Francisco, who is an up and comer. There always will be up and comers putting out new, outstanding stuff, and then there he will be, remembered as the level of pioneer how you say.
Totally agree. He is creating music that is like classical music. Simply beautiful and emotional. Sasha absolutely rocks it and is on a different level.period.
Will never forget my first time seeing Sasha live (alongside John Digweed) at Shadow Lounge my first Winter Music Conference in South Beach. Simply the best!
KletoReese I remember the bathrooms at Shadow that looked into the women’s bathroom thru glass.😂😂 I got to give Sasha a brief handshake and hello as I was walking out.
Such a blinding set !!! Consistently solid two hour set that definitely stands out as one of the best in the recent years. Heard and seen many of his set but this one is Special!! Excellent!
@@100thmegapixel probably one of the most viewed sets aswell, Boris kills it. But this set is up there with it, But Sasha is on a level. Taste to a particular sound also 🙏🏼✅
Sasha remains one of my favorites since I started listening to him in 1998. Inspired me to DJ (techno and trance). I finally saw him live in Dallas few years ago. He's back in Dallas this October 26 @ Stereo Live! Ticket is under $20 at the moment. I can't believe a ticket to see a legend like this is so cheap, while the mainstream artists are over $50 easily at this venue. I could easily pay more to support him.

Que buen set carajo!!! Sasha, Warren, Seaman, Tenaglia, Lawler, entre otros siempre están demostrando que la calidad, magia y locura de sus mezclas siempre está vigente ante tanta música basura que se escucha en estos tiempos!!!
While working in college radio in 2000, nothing that came across the “for promotion only” desk got me amped like Xpander by Sasha. This track, with all its various versions included on the promo CD, stood out from all the other records, from any genre. I played that song every Friday the whole Spring 2000 semester. I played it so much I was getting prank calls from the music director at the station requesting it (ha ha). I was a freak about it, I’d sometimes open and close with a different version of the song during my 2-hour show. I should have just called myself DJ Xpander. Any ways, this song got me even more excited about electronic music, I started to make my own mixtapes and hand them out to people [now a days no one has a way to play mixtapes on cassette, or even CD, so it’s a culture long gone, with the exception of some music enthusiasts]. I really didn’t know much about Sasha back in the day and was more focused on the sounds than the creators, as he really didn’t come around until after the late-1980s. Influenced by acid house, Sasha, sometimes referred to as DJ Sasha, was born Alexander Paul Coe in Wales, UK, and was a big part of the house music and trance scene in Europe and America. House music uses a lot of heavy bass beats with lots of other sounds going in and out throughout the songs. Like many electronic artists over the past 20 years, Sasha is a DJ, producer, and a host of events. Drawing crowds from all over the world. This song is a great combination of house and trance with some moments of the bass dropping out to allow for some transitions. The song starts out very melodramatic on some versions and builds up slowly and gradually brings into the trance it is intending you to go in. In the original version, the track has the signature house bass beat tying together all the other elements. Some moments feel a lot like some tracks off the 1970s album The Wall by Pink Floyd, which is another reason I love this track, with the continues high-hat rhythm. Being a drummer, I always listen for new ways to combine beats, sounds, and rhyme combinations that I can translate to my set drum kit. The truth is, I’m a futurist at heart, and love hearing new discoveries in sound design. I’ve watched electronic music get its start in the late 1970s and evolve from the urban rhythms and European club sounds to wild and magical experiences in sound. I love hearing new ways to manipulate sound waves and computer-generated audio. Africa Bambaataa was one of my first favorite producers that blended danceable beats with rap lyrics in his futuristic. Disco wasn’t my thing, but some great songs came from that genre. I like Techno, Dubstep, and Trance mostly. Some other producers that I love are Paul Hardcastle, Moby, Tiesto and Timbaland. I am excited about the future of electronic music.
i love the Wall, its probably my first introduction to eletronic mixing music, the other album are from Kraftwerk( with Neon Lights) and Concert in China by Jean Michael Jarre present by my older brother. i was only 7... listem everythyng from 80s on synthy pop evolution but allways im a huge fun for mixing eletrónic music particulary Deep, progressive, techno trance and probaly i know milions of different songs!! Sasha was on top of my list, the others are Digweed, Josh Wink for many reasons but there are so good many djs and producers. Quadrophonia... probably my intro to techno. Fierce Rulling Diva. and thousands next... Tracks from Dj Dag and the begeening from acid house to last records of progressive today! Emmanuel top was the beginning for me today i love to Cataneo, Guy J, Paul K , Laurent Garnier, Carl Cox and the magic Our portuguese Dj Vibe from years ago and Danny Tanaglia as well. im Shine mas i must to work and play to people as a Dj because i have a natural huge passion for music and feeling to push mix for other levels... love painting but music is a kind of art more elevate! i just need loose the fear! From Sasha Xpander its a opera d'art, I love so much Wavy Gravity as well! this is a great and strong way to Sasha mix! there are so many ways from Sasha Work From Break Beat, downtempo to trance until hard techno! true. *i talk about Pink Floyd the wall because is the first album mixed i heard... there are a great album who can listen Rock, Opera and Futuristic Eletronic music too... well i listen, everythyng on this set is emocional track selections, Fusion and Fx Works!! Sasha is simply great!!! my best regards!
honestly one of the best DJ's, back in the day I would get hold of some of the records that were on his mixes and wonder why they didn't have quite the same effect outside of the mix.. just subtle things, slight change of tempo, where they come in and out and the order of the records.. and that's the art of DJ'ing.. but not many people can do it effectively
Sasha showcased why he’s the number one DJ of all time with a peak time large crowd set. He blew some minds with this one and reminded he world why he is still the best to ever do it. He had those people blowing up!!
Este es un DJ y no chingaderas pre-armadas. La musica te lleva a un sitio distinto y mágico sin tanta parafernalia ni morritos "guapitos". Lo mejor, pocas personas grabando y estropeando el show con sus celulares
1st time I ever heard of Sasha was global underground ibiza disc 2 especially... Never looked back after that.. Even named my cat after him.. Peace ❤️🇮🇪🎶
@@russyJ20 pills come and go just like a lot of cheap thrills in life but to experience it all together along with the music. No one can take that away from us
MDMA and Ecstasy were the gateway for many, including myself, into truly appreciating and understanding dance music. To an outsider it may seem odd why there is so much repetition, but to an initiate its an essential ingredient - the transcendental path to euphoria... It is similar in essence to yogic mantra practices; by hearing or thinking the same thing over and over again, ones consciousness somehow rises up into a different state of awareness. One becomes awake to our own essential nature and the joy of being amongst the company of others. This may be called spiritual love, and it feels fantastic when your surrounded by others smiling and happy, dancing to the same rhythm, all surfing the same vibration of joyfulness...
Theres already 2 decades generations who had the chance to know who's The Man Like. And he still rocks on the edge, always improving, always the reference. Hes so unique.
still outclassing any other circuit Dj truly a master of building a music vibe, well worth the travel to anywhere to listen to....its a pity most of the people are just posing and haven't got a clue what true rave is about or the love of the music...they are clueless!!!!
I was at his first stateside performance at aahhzz in Orlando. He absolutely blew the roof off the place. He did several Renaissance nights in Orlando. Anybody that went to aahhzz back then will remember how special those nights were. Still my favorite DJ.
Love the old school feel to his set as well as been way in front lot djs should watch him I first seen him in 1990 hacienda Manchester an still the best no look at me im a dj playing endless repeat crowd pleaser tunes cause they can't produce this is what the people want 😊 Peace and love everybody 😘
What a set this is!! I’ve followed Sasha since the mid 90s and he’s still at the top of his game. The dj and remix master is still to this day probably the best out there especially in the prog house genre. This set should have been on the main stage closing the festival without a doubt. Some of the shite they have playing on that main stage is absolutely criminal. I’ll not be mentioning any names because people no who I mean.
So love Tomorrowland sets. So deep, far out & mind blowing! This blinder has to be one off the best I've ever heard along with the master Hernan Cattaneo & Carl Cox.
@@optimusprime95 right! Eric Prydz be like: " I've been waiting for you, Sasha. We meet at last. The circle is now complete. When I met you I was but the learner. Now, I am the master."

Being a drummer, I always listen for new ways to combine beats, sounds, and rhyme combinations that I can translate to my set drum kit. The truth is, I’m a futurist at heart, and love hearing new discoveries in sound design.
I’ve watched electronic music get its start in the late 1970s and evolve from the urban rhythms and European club sounds to wild and magical experiences in sound. I love hearing new ways to manipulate sound waves and computer-generated audio. Africa Bambaataa was one of my first favorite producers that blended danceable beats with rap lyrics in his futuristic. Disco wasn’t my thing, but some great songs came from that genre. I like Techno, Dubstep, and Trance mostly. Some other producers that I love are Paul Hardcastle, Moby, Tiesto and Timbaland. I am excited about the future of electronic music.
Uhhhh, Kalkbrenner??!!!!!
i love the Wall, its probably my first introduction to eletronic mixing music, the other album are from Kraftwerk( with Neon Lights) and Concert in China by Jean Michael Jarre present by my older brother.
i was only 7... listem everythyng from 80s on synthy pop evolution but allways im a huge fun for mixing eletrónic music particulary Deep, progressive, techno trance and probaly i know milions of different songs!!
Sasha was on top of my list, the others are Digweed, Josh Wink for many reasons but there are so good many djs and producers.
Quadrophonia...
probably my intro to techno.
Fierce Rulling Diva.
and thousands next...
Tracks from Dj Dag and the begeening from acid house to last records of progressive today!
Emmanuel top was the beginning for me today i love to Cataneo, Guy J, Paul K , Laurent Garnier, Carl Cox and the magic Our portuguese Dj Vibe from years ago and Danny Tanaglia as well.
im Shine mas i must to work and play to people as a Dj because i have a natural huge passion for music and feeling to push mix for other levels...
love painting but music is a kind of art more elevate!
i just need loose the fear!
From Sasha Xpander its a opera d'art, I love so much Wavy Gravity as well!
this is a great and strong way to Sasha mix! there are so many ways from Sasha Work From Break Beat, downtempo to trance until hard techno!
true.
*i talk about Pink Floyd the wall because is the first album mixed i heard...
there are a great album who can listen Rock, Opera and Futuristic Eletronic music too...
well i listen, everythyng on this set is emocional track selections, Fusion and Fx Works!!
Sasha is simply great!!!
my best regards!
most of these people wasn't born when o first saw sasha. which is a testament to this amazing dj.
honestly one of the best DJ's, back in the day I would get hold of some of the records that were on his mixes and wonder why they didn't have quite the same effect outside of the mix.. just subtle things, slight change of tempo, where they come in and out and the order of the records.. and that's the art of DJ'ing.. but not many people can do it effectively
No one transitions better. Sasha's global Underground 013 - Ibiza mix is one of the best ever, in this genre.
That last mix sums up his genius the best DJ I've seen hands down god willing we get nights like this again 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾
The True number 1 DJ
always has been.

*Hernan Cattaneo

Sasha showcased why he’s the number one DJ of all time with a peak time large crowd set. He blew some minds with this one and reminded he world why he is still the best to ever do it. He had those people blowing up!!
Este es un DJ y no chingaderas pre-armadas. La musica te lleva a un sitio distinto y mágico sin tanta parafernalia ni morritos "guapitos". Lo mejor, pocas personas grabando y estropeando el show con sus celulares
the DJ, the lighting, the staging, the set, the crowd are all amazing!!! dope set Sasha #legend
1st time I ever heard of Sasha was global underground ibiza disc 2 especially... Never looked back after that.. Even named my cat after him.. Peace ❤️🇮🇪🎶
One of my favorites DJs in the world
Cool, but you should only have one favourite by definition
Darren Fenton that's why I said one of my favorites I do like more John Digweed, Carl Cox, Wally Lopez...
My first time seeing Sasha in Live was in Ibiza at Space 1999. I discovered a new music a new sound....the master of elegance and good style...
Good time to be around the scene that. Magic times, I wasn't a massive pill popper either.
On occasion though ;)
@@russyJ20 pills come and go just like a lot of cheap thrills in life but to experience it all together along with the music. No one can take that away from us
MDMA and Ecstasy were the gateway for many, including myself, into truly appreciating and understanding dance music. To an outsider it may seem odd why there is so much repetition, but to an initiate its an essential ingredient - the transcendental path to euphoria... It is similar in essence to yogic mantra practices; by hearing or thinking the same thing over and over again, ones consciousness somehow rises up into a different state of awareness. One becomes awake to our own essential nature and the joy of being amongst the company of others. This may be called spiritual love, and it feels fantastic when your surrounded by others smiling and happy, dancing to the same rhythm, all surfing the same vibration of joyfulness...
Theres already 2 decades generations who had the chance to know who's The Man Like.
And he still rocks on the edge, always improving, always the reference.
Hes so unique.
he get in to the wall ...so sad :/
Most aggressive set I've seen him play in eons,and my Lord it's f**king class🙌🏻
It was until Glastonbury 2022
Truly spiritual last 30 mins of an outstanding set by an outstanding performer. Bravo!
this set is amazing, nice, dark and heavy. like the good ol days. i wish he'd release a studio mix similar to this.

What a legend Sasha is. Consummate professional. His involvement in his sets is total, from start to finish.
Absolutely amazing set, Sasha at his very best.
Sasha was at his best in the 90s, not now.
its because he has less experience now
@@andrewinfosec still going strong mate.. That's a stellar set
Ultra rare slip 1:45:30
Still fantastic set
Sasha is never boring... he always takes you on a true cruising experiance,
One of my favorite dj ... its been long time good to see u on stage ....
Un si ce n est le meilleur set des 10 dernières années. Un grand très grand moment de musique. Merci Monsieur Sasha
27:51 - 34:13 incredible mood transition, amazing!
Yeah dude!
The most truly emotive dj ever. It’s his trademark.
That intro. Fiji....amazing, The whole set is immense.Sasha at his best once again
Love your set, SASHA!😱🤙🏽🤗👏🏽😊 Your on fire bruh!🔥. You rock ELECTRONIC music!🙏🏽❤️😊
Just saw him for my first time in Montreal and he absolutely killed it 😍 Now dancing again in my head 💃🏽
1 hora 59 minutos, de muuuuuuuy buenas pistas..! bien por SASHA, se transforma en uno de mis favoritos/as
1:39:50 at this moment I am persuaded without any doubt there is a god after all ... after 25 years he is still my ultimate musical hero
song?
still outclassing any other circuit Dj truly a master of building a music vibe, well worth the travel to anywhere to listen to....its a pity most of the people are just posing and haven't got a clue what true rave is about or the love of the music...they are clueless!!!!
Best set Tomorrowland 2018
This and Boris brejcha
Solomun the best of the best 👑👑👑
@@user-bk3ok8vj2u nah
@@user-bk3ok8vj2u Solomun is most under-rated prog DJ eva
He always, always opens incredibly!
I was at his first stateside performance at aahhzz in Orlando. He absolutely blew the roof off the place. He did several Renaissance nights in Orlando. Anybody that went to aahhzz back then will remember how special those nights were. Still my favorite DJ.
EPIC!! the best set of tomorrowland 18 by far
... Boris Brejcha also!!
Eric Prydz also
What a brilliant DJ Sasha is! Amazing set!! I don't understand the dislikes.....
What a crazy 5 min intro!!!
Legend!
Fijiiii fiji fiji.....
it was insane what a build up
trance wax - trance 15 [trance wax
Appropriate atmosphere for ravers😎🤘🍾
True legend! Sasha still number 1 in my eyes. Knows how to get the crowd in the palm of his hand. #LNOE
80% of the public was born after Sasha and Digweed released Northern Exposure.
they were the best times for music .
0 deg South is best
George Chivu I love that shit
Magic!
Magic!
This set gets better and better the more I watch it and see this master display his craft.
Love the old school feel to his set as well as been way in front lot djs should watch him I first seen him in 1990 hacienda Manchester an still the best no look at me im a dj playing endless repeat crowd pleaser tunes cause they can't produce this is what the people want 😊
Peace and love everybody 😘
mark johny5* he’s such a ninja - seamless
Best club there ever was ,with park and Pickering, and countless guest s
What a set this is!! I’ve followed Sasha since the mid 90s and he’s still at the top of his game. The dj and remix master is still to this day probably the best out there especially in the prog house genre. This set should have been on the main stage closing the festival without a doubt. Some of the shite they have playing on that main stage is absolutely criminal. I’ll not be mentioning any names because people no who I mean.
I'm so glad he played Trance at the end of the set. He didn't forget where he came from.
yo yo, nice to see you too! I don't remember that encounter by anyhow. lol :D
An original Master had the pleasure of being present at many of his performances 🤘
Your Majesty, I am speechless.
So love Tomorrowland sets. So deep, far out & mind blowing! This blinder has to be one off the best I've ever heard along with the master Hernan Cattaneo & Carl Cox.
36:19 brummer gabriel ananda feat wally tale
1:42:07 - 1:50:24 Gabriel Ananda - Smash (live version)
1:50:24 - Chvrches - Leave A Trace (Four Tet Remix)
Probably the best guy I've ever seen hit play on a cd
Cant wait to see Sasha & Digweed this weekend in Belfast. We will put that crowd to shame 💪💪💪
Masterpiece... 2o anni che lo seguo e ogni DJ set è superbo...top skill
I finally found the ID of the track that I was looking for, Victor Ruiz - Clutch. What an awesome track. Thank's for the track list.
Master at work...weaving his spell like only sasha can do...legend of the game
Discovering more artists that I like on CZcams than Spotify.
Awesome music "pure" & old skool crowd - perfect!!!!!! This is how we used to do it back in the days!!!!!
I was seeing Sasha live when he came to Hong Kong very long time ago....uhhhh....nice old day , nice old RAVE~
What can i say.....true master piece.The most incredible intro ever in tomorrowland and one of the greatest sets ever.
It's criminal to have adverts in this!
and there are ppl like myself who owe so much to the duo that is sasha and digweed, absolutely amazing,
Sasha the best dj of all time...
had pleasure to listen him and digweed in twilo NYC...epic..last Friday of every month residency
Renaissance - the glory years. Legends in their craft.
sasha is one of my favorite dj, music is unique
1:13:00 - Sasha takes this to a whole new level! Wow!
Need that track ID!
Dusty Kid / Crunch
comb filter goodness
Still my favourite track of the mix. The placement of it in the set is perfect!
Thank you Sasha ,been a long journey ,its getting better as we all get old .
Leyenda viviente .... no se anduvo con mamadas, solo Música!!! 🙌🙌🙌🤟🤟🤟🤟 larga vida a Sasha
diverse, unpredictable, charismatic, on point, fluent with immense ability and passion to execute the task of the art that is djing.
Veo que estos festivales ya se están educando con una leyenda como SASHA.
a veces tiene que ir el papa mismo a enseñarles a los cabritos un rato
unbelievable set from Gods son...it really takes me back to the prog house I loved in the late 90's / early 00's. Superb!
I would love to see Sasha play a B2B set with Eric Prydz. They should compliment each other well.
Michael Knight I’d pay good money to see that mate
That’d be it - the holy grail.
@@optimusprime95 right!
Eric Prydz be like: " I've been waiting for you, Sasha. We meet at last. The circle is now complete. When I met you I was but the learner. Now, I am the master."
Listening to Sasha since the first Wipeout game in the 90's ;)
💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
música de alto vuelo!!!! buenísimo set!
샤샤 is back to earth !! Respect from Korea~~~
