Sasha & Emerson - Scorchio

As Grammy nominee, remixer for Madonna, Moby, and the Chemical Brothers, and winner of various prestigious awards and hearts on dancefloors across the globe, Welsh DJ Sasha hardly needs an introduction. Scorchio was the result of Sasha and Darren Emerson (of Underworld fame) meeting halfway around the world in Uruguay after playing a show and can be considered the spiritual successor to Sasha’s acclaimed 1999 double pack Xpander. The main riff was performed on the coveted Roland Jupiter-8 and the title track has been described as outrageously sunny while maintaining a dark, progressive edge. Sasha himself noted that the tune came about “effortlessly”, but in any case this is peak turn-of-the-century progressive trance and was part of the soundtrack of many a hazy day and night at the beaches of Ibiza. The B-side contains a dub by Emerson perfect for any crowd that you may face; truly a Swiss army knife. Scorchio is available as a 25th anniversary limited edition of 1000 individually numbered copies on blue vinyl and comes with faithfully restored printed inner sleeves.
