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 ↴
You do your own thing anyway
Even though you contradict yourself
If you need some help it's okay
A little envy brings you doubt
Just eat it up and spit it out
No need to make a compromise
There's nothing better
Than a heartbeat over mind
Shout it from the rooftop
Here I go
Beating on the back door
Of your soul
Walking on a tightrope
Don't you know
Takes you higher, takes you higher
Dancing on the sidewalk
Letting go
Jumping on a fast train
Nice and slow
Surfing on a backbeat
No control
Takes you higher, takes you higher
It doesn't matter what you do
It's only someones point of view
There doesn't have to be an alibi
When you wanna cry cause you're blue
To spend a little ain't no crime
Please yourself from time to time
We all get caught out in the pouring rain
We get wet the same
Does it matter, no, no
There ain't nothing better
Than a heartbeat over mind
Shout it from the rooftop
Here I go
Beating on the back door
Of your soul
Walking on a tightrope
Don't you know
Takes you higher, takes you higher
Dancing on the sidewalk
Letting go
Jumping on a fast train
Nice and slow
Surfing on a backbeat
No control
Takes you higher, takes you higher
You hide behind feelings
What's that all about
No need to hold it back
Gonna shout it out, shout it out
Shout it from the rooftop
Here I go
Beating on the back door
Of your soul
Walking on a tightrope
Don't you know
Takes you higher, takes you higher
The lyrics of Sasha's song "Rooftop" are about living life on one's own terms, regardless of what others may say or think. The song encourages listeners to embrace their individuality and to not compromise on their beliefs or desires. The lyrics acknowledge that sometimes one may contradict themselves or feel doubt, but it's okay to ask for help or to let go of envy or negative thoughts. The repetition of the phrase "there's nothing better than a heartbeat over mind" emphasizes the importance of following one's intuition and emotions.
The chorus of the song describes the feeling of breaking free and letting go, as the singer shouts from a rooftop and beats on the back door of one's soul. The imagery of walking on a tightrope or dancing on the sidewalk, as well as surfing on a backbeat, represents the sense of taking risks and living in the moment. The verses also touch on the idea that it's important to indulge oneself from time to time and to not worry about the opinions of others.
Overall, the message of "Rooftop" is one of self-confidence and embracing one's unique perspective. It's an anthem for anyone who is looking to break free from societal expectations and live life to the fullest.
