The legend that is Sasha and the very talented progressive house master Marsh join forces on a new collaboration on Anjunadeep called ‘Dead Synthy’…
First premiered during their Anjunadeep Miami b2b set in 2024, 'Dead Synthy' marks the first collaboration between progressive house legends Sasha and Marsh. This track is a quintessential slice of progressive house magic. Its calm, inviting atmosphere feels like a journey through little fluffy clouds, weaving in touches of electro and ethereal, angelic vocals. With golden-age vibes that nod to the roots of the genre, 'Dead Synthy' is as timeless as it is fresh. Reflecting on the collaboration, Marsh shares:
“It was the week leading up to my set with Sasha in Miami. He gave me a call to see if I wanted to collaborate on something to hopefully play in our set... He sent over the initial draft called 'Dead Synthy,' I was drawn to the atmosphere, chords, vocals, and arpeggio. I got to work, found the main riff, bassline, and drums, and soon had a first draft we could test. Sasha said my riff sounded a bit 'Jam & Spoon'... I'm ashamed to say I hadn't heard of Jam & Spoon at the time. I have no idea how I missed them. I think he was referring to their track 'Stella' (Banger). I wondered if that was a dealbreaker on the collaboration, but we rolled with it! I sent the stems back to Sasha, and he beefed up the mix and continued crafting the idea. It was super close when he sent it back. I especially love the breaks in the breakdown - The processing is mental and adds something unique to the track's journey! Needless to say, it is very surreal to have worked with such a legend as Sasha! I hope there is more to come!" For Marsh, 2024 was a landmark year. He delivered a steady stream of standout releases and maintained a packed global tour schedule, which included the launch of his ARIA hybrid showcase. This showcase saw him sell out London’s Outernet and close Red Rocks under a blizzard. Marsh starts 2025 on a high note, bringing his signature All Night Long show to Fabric for the second year in a row on February 7th. As for Sasha, his legacy as one of the world’s most celebrated DJs continues to evolve. Known for blending house, techno, and trance into his sets, he’s also made waves beyond the club scene. His score for the Da Vinci interactive exhibition, which premiered in Berlin in 2022, won multiple awards, including Best Immersive Experience (Art Directors Club, 2022) and Best Experimental Design (Creative Pool Awards, 2022). Together, Sasha and Marsh have created something truly special with 'Dead Synthy’ - a track that’s sure to resonate far beyond the dancefloor.
