DJ SASHA TALKS ABOUT REMIXING AND A NEW COMPUTER GAME

Cream speaks to Sasha ahead of his gig with John Digweed this Friday. The succesful dj and producer talks about remixing new tracks and about a Nokia computer game that he's done and which is coming out later this year.

What are you working on right now?
"Right now I’ve just done a couple of remixes. I’ve done a Nokia computer game that’s coming out this year, called Snakes. And then also, I’ve done a couple of remixes, I’ve remixed the Doves single."

Listen to:
Doves - Jetstream (Sasha Remix)

How do you choose the tracks that you want to remix, do they come to you, or do just hear something you like and get in touch?
"Because remixing isn’t really the core of my business anymore, like in the 90s I used to spend most of my year in the studio remixing. Normally it’s a case of I hear something that I really like and feel I can do something with it, and I call them up asking if it’s cool?"

A lot of artistes of your stature have moved into scoring music for films, is this something you can see yourself doing? You mentioned the computer game?
"I mean, you’ve got to look to other places to try and bring revenue in from music, because obviously the physical sales of records now, as everyone knows is dwindling away. By incorporating your music into film & TV or computer games, adverts, it’s a new way to make money out of your music, so it’s definitely something that I’ve got my eye on."
