"Scorchio" is a simple, uplifting trance track with a crisp, fast beat. Layers of synths, bass, and percussion harmonize pleasantly over the course of its nine and a half minutes. I like the intro, which reminds me of Basic Channel's "radiance iii". The song's positive vibe conjures summertime imagery such as driving, jogging, or hang gliding alongside a beach. Listen closely and you can hear exotic percussion and what sounds like simulated seagulls deep in the music.

I would have liked more remixes. Besides a radio edit, there is only Emerson's Late Nite Dub, a conservative reprise with a nice outro. As it stands, this CD is fairly good but not spectacular.

SASHA IS THE REASON I AM A PROGRESSIVE HOUSE NUT TO THIS DAY...AND "SCORCHIO" IS AN ESSENTIAL SLICE OF BIG ROOM CLASSIC ACID HOUSE....MELODIC, EMOTIONAL STUFF...SUNSET WATCHING ON IBIZA STUFF HERE MATE..

Gotta have this one - gave it a spin last night at my gig to normally jaded crowd that loved it. Hopefully Sasha and Emerson will kick out more together...

The long awaited follow up to the great 'Xpander' see's Sasha collaborate with Darren Emerson. It's progressive trance/house as per usual but with a latin theme to appeal to the Ibizan scene. As always you have to be patient since the full length version is nearly ten minutes long. The upbeat latin style builds into a classy cut although it does'nt quite match Xpander.

The Late Nite Dub is dubbier but not as hard as you might have expected but nonetheless it's harder than the original and quite Underworld-ish, no shock there then. If you like the epic cuts then you'll want definately want this!!

This dance trax is a must for all DJ's and techno junkies.
