“Cinematic scores have always been there for me,” says dance music producer and DJ turned composer Sasha on his musical loves. “I’m a massive film nerd and have collected soundtracks for years.”
Sasha is reflecting on the roots that have enabled him to branch out into this latest career chapter, which may seem slightly incongruous with his past as the first 'superstar DJ'. It was 2016’s album Scene Delete that exploded any preconceptions about Sasha’s skill as an artist and producer, showcasing his love for ambient textures, atmosphere and aural spaces outside the dancefloor. This third album acts as a sign post to his work on Da Vinci Genius, an immersive exhibition celebrating the work of the great artist of the Italian Renaissance. With the score now released as a soundtrack record, Sasha’s aesthetic is propelled by a love for futuristic sounds as much as cinema, clubs and tech.
