Sasha

O2 Academy, Brixton, Tuesday 31st December

As the weekend of Notting Hill Carnival nears (August 24th-26th), the Out of Hand crew have announced their sideline party line ups.

Legendary DJ and producer Sasha sits at the top of an already strong line-up scheduled for Uber, Carlisle's hottest house night on August 24th.

Sasha will be...

Sasha presents his Never say Never Sunday free party at The Tower from Sunday July 7.

Over the last few years he has imbued his own music with a very unique voice. Slightly grainy and tortured sounding, the Toronto based producer has been on a mission to shake things up and get away from diva cries of “Detroit” or “one love” and instead concerns himself with more cerebral subject matters.

With the sad news that Sankeys Manchester is to close its doors indefinitely this month, the club's resident nights started gearing up for what could be the last sitting at probably the north's most heritable club.

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. Once every four or so years, though, all that changes, people forget to argue and unite in appreciation of the form once more.

Sasha's 'Involver' remix series is undeniably one of the most treasured in electronic music. 'Involv3r' is yet another success in the champion of eclectic song...

Inspired by new music, touting a fresh label, Sasha is still at the vanguard. He isn't one for nostalgia. It makes him feel “a bit weird”, he says. Fair enough.
