Sasha - Gameovr (2023 Repress) [Watergate]

Sasha continues to make this year his own by dropping his debut EP on Watergate, titled 'GameOvr'. The EP features two original tracks, including the highly anticipated 'Trigonometry', and first-class remixes by Cassy and La Fleur. Following his recent acclaimed sold-out live shows at the Barbican and his 'Out Of Time' EP on Kompakt, not to mention his RESISTANCE residency alongside John Digweed in Ibiza, Sasha officially confirms his first release on Watergate Records. 'Trigonometry' has been a standout in Sasha's sets over the past few months and has generated heated online debate, from excited track ID requests to urgent demands for a release date. The track is as ethereal as it is captivating, constantly building to the sublime breakdown and those iconic chords that have left ravers spellbound around the world. Swedish-born, Berlin-based La Fleur leaves her mark on the remix, keeping the riff but adding gravitas with a driving bassline. She has quickly become a key figure on the house and techno circuit, with a string of releases on labels such as Cocoon, Watergate, and Sasha's own Last Night On Earth imprint. 'GameOvr' showcases the producer's harder-edged side; a solid techno track that stays true to Sasha's consistent forward-thinking approach, always exploring new directions, though his distinctive groove is still present. Cassy, renowned Panorama Bar resident, whose impressive album 'Donna' was one of 2016's standout releases, takes on the remix of the title track, offering a cut with a more intense drive, heavier kick drum, resonant chords, and hypnotic percussion. This EP marks another creative milestone in this highly fruitful and exciting phase of Sasha's distinguished career.
