There's not much about Sasha that hasn't been said already. Regarded by many as the first true global superstar DJ, Sasha has lead one of the most prominent careers of any DJ/producer. Countless awards, honors, and praise have solidified this man as one of the most influential figures in all of electronic music.

   

  Born and raised in Brooklyn, DJ/producer Jimmy Maheras discovered his passion for electronic music in the late '90s. Using legendary NYC clubs as his own musical playground, Maheras credits those  endless gritty nights of beats and bass for laying down the foundation of his career.   Now based in LA, his penchant for various genres has allowed Maheras to cater to everyone from soulful house devotees to dark techno enthusiasts while scoring gigs and residencies at some of the most lauded clubs on the West Coast including Vanguard, Culprit's Standard rooftop parties and Avalon Hollywood. In addition to releasing original productions on Crosstown Rebels sub-label, Rebellion, Stranjjur, Riff Raff, and Supernature, his love for sharing music with others eventually led to launching Plastic Love along with fellow DJ Bas in 2010. Fusing their love for electronic, Bas and Maheras continually work to bring forth and share the finest talent in electronic through their beloved party series while also showcasing artists on their weekly radio shows and podcasts.   Given his talent, it comes as no surprise that Maheras also doubles as an A&R agent for the revered Culprit LA, lending his musical talent and critical ears to discover the latest game-changing tracks and the artists behind them. Those previously unfamiliar with Maheras' style will easily gain a sense of appreciation for his work in our latest mix of the week. The hour-long gem kicks off with San Laurentino's "Dreamers and Wanderers" (Let's Play House) followed by a Suonho remix of Caribou's "Sun" before transitioning into darker tracks such as Jacques Greene's "Tell Me" (Lucky Me) and Four Tet's "Lion" before lightening the mood and closing with Jacques Renault, Isolee and Dillon.   Whatever style of electronic you normally prefer, you're bound to lose yourself somewhere in this rich selection of tracks and, if you're like us, you'll wish this musical journey lasted even longer.  

    An eerie overcast night in the art district of downtown Miami during Winter Music Conference played the perfect setting to a track that caught us completely by surprise and had us engaged and submersed in its dark and moody character. The lean yet intriguing production has been stuck in the back of our minds, haunting us ever so until recently where we were lucky enough finally find it. A track that we’ve had on rotation for the past week, and now, are delighted to share with you: Jon Charnis' "Prophecy."   Though Charnis has been involved in music production for many years, recent releases show him gravitating towards deeper and darker shades of house music. With upcoming releases on No.19, Supernature, and All Day I Dream, we can’t wait to hear what else Charnis has up his sleeve.   Keep your eyes and ears peeled.
