Sasha Preps ‘Scene Delete’ Album For Late Night Tales

It’s no secret that we’re big fans of Sasha here at DT. Thus any arrival of any fresh material from the inimitable Welshman is greeted with a fair amount of excitement whenever it lands in our bulging inbox which is why we took the news that he’d taking a break from touring to recharge his batteries, spend some time with the family and perhaps most excitingly for us finish a number of studio projects he’d been working on surprisingly well last year.

Long considered one of the worlds finest selectors and producers, recent times have seen him add a number of strings to his impressive bow, most notably making the move to label boss and launching his Last Night On Earth imprint to great success. Never one to be tied down for too long, it should then come as little surprise that the man from Wales has decided to embark upon a new course for 2016, serving up an album called ‘Scene Delete’ for Late Night Tales that takes inspiration from the works of Messrs Frahm, Richter and Reich rather than the dance floor.

“About three years ago, my collaborators David Gardner and ThermalBear and I wrote a song called ‘Bring On The Night’. I sent it to Ultraista and within a few days she sent it back with this amazing vocal on, with Nigel Godrich playing keyboards. We tried to do club mixes but we just couldn’t get it right. So it sat there doing nothing,” Sasha explains.

“Tracks like this kept building up, until finally last summer my frustration boiled over. We’d made so many tunes that I couldn’t remember the names of half of them: What was that thing with a bass sound and a string line? It drove me mental. At the same time as we were logging these tracks, I was listening to the Jon Hopkins’ Late Night Tales and I thought a lot of the music we’d been working on was in the same vibe. So I sent the music over to Late Night Tales and they really liked it.

Initially, I thought we’d just do a Late Night Tales compilation with maybe a few pieces of my own music. But as we went through everything we’d worked on in the last two years, we realised we had about 50 pieces of music. So we started editing and compiling: ‘Scene Delete’ is the end result.”
