Sevenoaks, down south
I reckon he's had to buy a 3 bed detached to store em all...lucky fooker:D

Actually I remember reading somewhere that one of the old chicargo Dj's (can't remember who:p ) bought a house to store his 30,000 plus tunes in and it burnt down:mad: :mad:

Imagine that...would life be worth living LOL:|

I read that he had them all in a warehouse where his office is, this is going back a few years now though......?!......he's living in New York at the moment right, can't see him shipping them all over there, so must have a place over here somewhere.....I think he used to have a small office in Notting Hill somewhere......but again......time ago?!

.....would be a right find though I agree! ;)

If he lives in NYC (who could blame him ?) & his tunes are in the UK then he must have a ripping monkey to convert his vinyl to MP3 so he can play it in Ableton... assuming he plays any old tunes these days...

However - Sashas vinyl ripping monkey... not a bad job :)

He has people who gather new tunes for him and rip them if required and up then onto a server that he can access anywhere in the world via internet.

He plays a few old ones now and again, a bit like Digweed

Wonder what he did with all those choons he had, does he still have em? what's the story anyone know?

YES.
He gave em all 2 me n' I ritualy sacrifices em...
It was a big bonfire I admit... but fuck it powered a small street for a good 2 months.
That's ecological sense.

Sander kleinenberg sold off all his vinyl about 2 years ago to a Dutch record store who then split and sold it on.

Sasha's not really a classics man. His musics always about going forward. A lot of the time when he plays older tracks they have usually been updated. Some times people miss them completely. I remember Creamfields 2001 he dropped Slacker - Scared. Me and my mate went crazy. Most other people didn't notice, maybe they hadn't herd it who knows

sashas vinyl

I read a couple of years ago that he had 30000 vinyl and employed some people to sort them all out into some sort of order and it took them six months to do!
i also read recently that he still collected vinyl, thats where he got the idea to bring out his limited edition emfire vinyl with the art work on it.

no way has he only got 30000 tunes, half the peeps on ere have got 10 thousand?
I'm probably in that region but problably owned 15000 over the years in total, he probably used to receive a 100 promos a week? he's probably got 300000

Movin' on up.
I'm going to be a right kill joy and say I'm not right bothered where Sasha's records are!;)

I do know I get hassle about the piddling 2000 I have and how much space they take up. It is however, less space than her flock of coats, pride of bags and herd of shoes occupy.

Yeah he mite receive 100 promos a week but he didn't keep them all. Sasha used to get his records from Massive records in Oxford where i used to live. They would get sent records to forward to him. Massive would send them to Sasha and then Sasha would return the ones he didn't want. Then Massive would sell them in the shop. Whats the point in keeping records you would never play. Massive had this arrangement with most DJ's only unestablished DJ's would have to pay for what they kept.
 
At what point do you reck Sasha stopped paying for his tunes then ?

Stevie W- if you're reading this thread (& possibly spitting at the screen lol :D ) when he was your warmup man @ Shaboo (had to emphasis that point for you ;) :D ) I'm guessing that both of you were still paying for tunes as the culture was still in its infancy ?

I reck that 91 Eclipse/Shelleys time or deffo 92 Rennaisance onwards he didn't have to.
