Juno Daily: In The Mix – Sascha Dive
The Frankfurt tech house don in the mix
Celebrating his latest album Back 2 Life this December, as well as the Bondage Music label’s 15th anniversary, comes our latest In The Mix from Frankfurt-based talent Sascha Dive.
Mixing tech house trickery and deep stabbing shuffles, Sascha’s In The Mix shows off his long, hotly honed experience in the game, charting his many sonic travels through 8Bit, Raum-Musik, Kwench and Cocoon Recordigs. Over the years, he’s butted shoulders with the likes of Maya Jane Coles and Laurent Garnier, to name a few.
Back 2 Life is his defining LP, and Bondage’s second album release to date.
Sascha said of the album: “These 15 tracks mirror what I have experienced in the last 15 years. Each one has its own story – of pain, emotion, learning, curiosity – the need to find and create new sounds, new beats and this is what continues to drive me to look further, further and further….”
This mix, however – while being a more free-flowing selection affair – was no less important or demonstrative of Dive’s tastes. “This podcast was mixed with two Technics turntables and an Allen & Heath Xone mixer. Vinyl only. The tracklist includes some tracks I played often this summer on my last gigs.”
