Sasha backs up 'Invol2ver' with club trek

Progressive house and trance DJ/producer Sasha emerges this fall for a few club dates in support of his highly anticipated new set, "Invol2ver," which drops early next month.

The Welsh performer/studio whiz, whose real name is Alexander Coe, will launch the run Oct. 23 in Denver, with the 10-city trek winding down a couple of weeks later in Miami. All dates are below.

For "Invol2ver," Sasha worked with producer/engineer Barry Jamieson, house duo Spooky (Charles May and Duncan Forbes) and sound engineer Leo Leite to produce a second collection (following 2005's "Involver") of progressive/house remixes. Among the new album's 13 tracks are Sashafied re-workings of Thom Yorke's "The Eraser" and Ladytron's "Destroy Everything You Touch."

The group "used every piece of dirty equipment they could get their hands on," according to a press release, to create just the right sounds for the remix album, which is due in stores Sept. 8 in the US. "In every way, 'Invol2ver' is closer to a production album than anything else. We were like kids in a toy shop basically, hunting out as many old mixing desks, drum machines and guitar pedals that we could find on eBay," said Sasha.

"It's like a collage of New York sounds. Old gear is so unpredictable and it had a mind of its own, this album was very spontaneous in that way," added Jamieson.

Sasha's previous studio LP, "Fundacion NYC," hit stores in 2005. The progressive house mix was inspired by the performer's frequent residencies at New York City's Fundacion nightclub.
