Scene Delete (known in full as Late Night Tales Presents Sasha: Scene Delete) is the third studio album by Welsh DJ Sasha.[4] It was released on 1 April 2016 through Late Night Tales on British independent record label Night Time Stories.[5] The album has been described as "unabashedly ambient" and Sasha described it as "a split in [his] career".[4] Upon release, the album appeared on the UK Albums Chart, peaking at number 34.[6] Four singles were released from the album: "View2", "Warewolf", "Pontiac", and "Bring on the Night-Time". In 2017, three remix singles were released comprising remixes of songs from the album, before a remix album, Scene Delete: The Remixes, was released on 19 May 2017.[7]

Background

The album was intended as an appreciation of "post-minimalist

modern classical" music,[8] with Sasha citing Max Richter, Nils Frahm, Brian Eno, and Steve Reich as influences for the composition of the album.[5] In a press release with Billboard
on the topic of the album's composition prior to its release, Sasha stated:

Whenever I'm in the studio and I've been working on techno or club music, I immediately want to work on something more textural and ambient. It just kept piling up. I was thinking about releasing an album that had all my club records and my ambient stuff on it, but it didn't seem like it would fit together.[4]

Scene Delete was originally intended to be a compilation album, like the majority of Late Night Tales releases.[9] Sasha has noted his inspiration from Jon Hopkins' Late Night Tales album (Late Night Tales: Jon Hopkins), which contained some of Hopkins' original works as well as other people's music. After sending Late Night Tales original works for Scene Delete, Sasha had prepared to license other people's music for the album before the record label proposed that the album be entirely original.[10]

Release

The album was officially announced on 2 February 2016, and the second track, "View2", was shared to Late Night Tales'

Dance/Electronic Albums chart.[14]
