Sasha x Marsh

First premiered during their Anjunadeep Miami b2b set in 2024, 'Dead Synthy' marks the first collaboration between progressive house artists Sasha and Marsh. This track is a slice of progressive house with a calm, inviting atmosphere that could feel like a journey through little fluffy clouds, and weaving in touches of electro and ethereal, angelic vocals. 

Marsh: “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!"

Sasha x Marsh ‘Dead Synthy’ is out now on Anjunadeep.
