1) Sasha, … Read Full Bio ↴There are currently several artists using the name Sasha:
1) Sasha, born Alexander Coe (born September 4, 1969), is a Welsh DJ and record producer. Late Night Tales Presents Sasha: Scene Delete was released in April 2016. He is also known for partnering with English DJ, John Digweed, as Sasha + Digweed. The pair released several mix albums together, including the Northern Exposure series (released between 1996 and 2001). They also released one of the all time best selling mix albums, The Renaissance Mix Collection part 1, in 1994. Sasha also released two Global Underground solo mix CDs, San Francisco (GU009) and Ibiza (GU013), which are considered classics of the progressive house genre.
In 2002 he released his first solo LP, Airdrawndagger, a result of collaboration with Charlie May and Junkie XL, the album also featured a guest appearance from James Holden. The album enjoyed excellent reviews upon its release, and recently a wave of quality remixes by various producers has re-kindled interest in Sasha's production work. 2004 saw the release of Involver, his third in the Global Underground series. This mix album differed from previous albums in that each track was completely reproduced in the studio, as opposed to simply being blended together.
More recently, in 2005, Sasha began moving away from mixing with records and CDs in favor of a new approach with computer software and a dedicated controller for his live sets. With the sequencing/mixing software Ableton Live and a custom controller that Sasha helped to design, he is able to use mixing techniques that are difficult or impossible with conventional methods, including mixing together many sources at once, adjusting pitch and tempo of sources independently, and cutting up and rearranging songs. His most recent mixed CD, Fundacion, was recorded using the Ableton Live software and the album bears the name of his monthly residency nights in both New York and Los Angeles.

Sasha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
everything is changing cause today
Is your day, that's what they say
Soon you'll be writing history
Right on TV
You know it's now or never
Strike a pose, there you go
You're doing what they told you
Lights go off, but lifes go on
You're out before it's begun
The hands upon your shoulder
Suddenly grow colder
And you're 15 minutes older
Waking up
Realizing nothing's left to do
Sure they found another you
And soon he'll be writing history
On your TV
You know it's now and never
Strike a pose, there you go
Down-the-line, before you know
You're doing what they told you
Lights go off, but lifes go on
You're out before it's begun
The hands upon your shoulder
Suddenly grow colder
And you're 15 minutes older, 15 minutes older
15 mintues older, 15 minutes older
You're not the only one who wants to live forever
So beware when it comes to now or never
Waking up
Everything is changing cause today
Is your day, that's what they say
Strike a pose, there you go
Down-the-line, before you know
You're doing what they told you
Lights go off, but lifes go on
You're out before it's begun
The hands upon your shoulder
Suddenly grow colder
And you're 15 minutes older
The song "15 Minutes Older" by Sasha explores the theme of fleeting fame, portraying the negative aspects of the entertainment industry. The opening lines of the song signify the rise of the singer, waking up on the big day where they will make their mark in history. They are aware of the temporariness of this glory and that they must make the most of the moment.
As the song progresses, there is a sense of desperation as the singer realizes that nothing they do is enough, and they will soon be replaced by newer, younger talent. The chorus emphasizes this bitter truth by repeatedly stating "and you're 15 minutes older," referencing Andy Warhol's famous quote "In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes." The lyrics also talk about how the singer is doing what is expected of them, blindly following the directions of those in charge, without truly experiencing their own creative freedom.
The final lines of the song are a warning for those who crave fame and the glittery lifestyle that comes with it. It highlights the importance of living in the present and enjoying the journey, rather than being obsessed with the end goal, as the future is uncertain.
