Long-time electronic overlord Sasha has summoned all his creative powers to unleash his most spellbinding mix compilation yet.
Barely a week goes by without some muso or other declaring the death of the mix CD. And you can understand why, given the proliferation of free mixes that pop up like pop-ups each and every day on the worldwide web.

The main room sound of Porter Robinson
Only 20-years-old and already a dance music star, with Top 10 chart hits in the UK, a residency in Las Vegas and US wide tours under his belt, Porter Robinson is the new face of the hugely popular big room electro house sound. But as it turns out, he spurns fame, cringes at the acronym EDM, and draws inspiration from musique concrete to Daft Punk. DJ Mag has a pint with him in a grimy North London boozer to learn more...
