Sasha’s Involver 2

Involver 2 is, as you might guess, a sequel to Sasha’s mega hit Involver album.
The last Sasha album we reviewed, Airdrawndagger, was an artist album, rather than a DJ mix. It got a lukewarm reception with some, despite being an interesting artist album. Involver 2, though, is a return trip to a world of carefully [...]
