The launch of Sasha’s emFire label was undoubtedly one of the main talking points during the last half of 2007. Four original tracks were released and the discussion raged: which was best or least favourite be it at home or in a club? Was Mongoose really Sasha? And, of course, who killed Sparky? Now the debate is set to continue as Sasha releases ‘The emFire Collection’.

A definitive view of Sasha’s emFire catalogue featuring originals, remixes and his award winning score to the movie ‘New Emissions Of Light & Sound.

Disc 1 plays host to ‘The Remixes’, which invites four of the world’s most exciting producers to present their interpretations of the emFire catalogue by way of a totally unique twist. Each carefully selected artist was commissioned to provide two versions - a traditional club and alternative, leftfield mix. The result is a very special, duplicitous ride through the minds of Slam, Audion, Radio Slave and The Field totaling an unmixed 70 minutes. The anticipated, incredible results beg one question – which do you prefer?

Disc 2 features 3 exclusively edited originals and the previously unreleased ‘Spangled Rubdub’ of Coma alongside Sasha’s 40 minute, mixed score to the surf movie ‘New Emissions Of Light & Sound’. The score, which has never been released in audio format, recently took top honours at the X Dance Awards that run in conjunction with the esteemed Sundance Film Awards and are effectively the Oscars equivalent of the sport movie industry. A beautiful, haunting ride, the extended piece provides a fitting conclusion to this bumper emFire package.

Finally, in spite of 2 discs and over 2 hours of music, the ‘Collection’ will be released at the mid-price point of just £7.99 (or near equivalent overseas); arguably one of the best value releases you’ll find in 2008

Jammer dat er niet nog 1 of 2 echt nieuwe eigen producties op staan!

Ja inderdaad, en dat terwijl er vast nog wel wat op de schap ligt... Dat verkoopt toch ook beter, als er wat nieuws tussen zit. En over het algemeen zijn die remixen niet een enorme meerwaarde ten opzichte van de originelen (ken ze niet allemaal..). Ben meer benieuwd naar Involver 2, wanneer komt die nou eens uit!?
