SASHA - Friday 9th December @ Metro City (4H SET)

**Antistatic** · 01-11-2005, 09:24 AM

Mellen Events & Future Entertainment present Sasha

There are DJs who turn up, play records and make people dance. There are producers who make the dance floor-igniting records those DJs will kill for. There are very few people in dance music who can do both - Sasha is the leader of the pack. Ever since he rode in on a tidal wave of adoration from the North of England’s explosive early 90’s club scene, that magic touch has made Alexander Coe one of the most famous, most revered DJs on the planet.

It’s because of what he can do with music – the way he can make good records sound better, great records sound awesome and everything he plays into his own - the way his mixes take elements from across the spectrum of electronic dance, from trance, breaks, progressive and deep house and create a languidly hypnotic liquid groove – the way his understanding of both melody and momentum can tease, taunt and entrance a dance floor before unleashing a record that will have people not just leaping up and down but bursting with emotion. DJ’ing is first about being able to read people and then about being able to tap into that human experience and take it on a journey. Sasha has always been noted for being a master at this. It is this universal appeal that he has tapped into that has established his strong fan base around the globe.

Sasha’s 2005 tour serves as the introduction of a new piece of technology inside the booth – MAVEN, his one of a kind, custom designed controller. Creating a 100% digital experience using this controller, an Apple laptop and Ableton Live software, Sasha will be leaving the turntables behind. The controller allows Sasha not only to exhibit his stellar track selection and mixing skills, but to literally re-edit every track he is playing on the fly. With the ability to sample, loop and fuse elements from multiple songs at once through digital technology, Sasha is truly revolutionizing his live DJ performance.

Says Sasha, “It’s not really a new way of DJ’ing, it’s more like a new option of a way of DJ’ing and live remixing, kind of a ‘mashup’ between the DJ and the live artist. But in the end what comes out of the speakers is still a DJ set. There are so many things that I have always wanted to do with my DJ sets, but the technology was limited. With the Maven and Live software there are a million things that I am now able to do.”

“It’s completely re-energised me again.” says Sasha. “I’m jumping up and down in the DJ booth and people can feel that on the dance floor – they know.”

I like it when he plays deeper stuff

**Leroy76** · 06-11-2005, 01:03 PM

Brilliant...Sasha is the King. I cant wait. I hope Perth really gets behind this event.

**frisky** · 07-11-2005, 10:12 PM

Nice booking Tigger, try not to outclass "the man"

While I disagree that Sasha is the king (AVB is!).. he is still pretty good and yes, Perth should get behind this..

Metro's is a good venue, lotsa space, and places to take recovery walks/or sleeps too.. though the services aren't the best - i.e. not many rubbish picker upp-ers which sucks on the main stage..

**Antistatic** · 08-11-2005, 12:09 AM

Recovery sleeps? There'll be none of that!

**Donny** · 08-11-2005, 12:45 PM

And how reasonable are the early bird tix - $33 incl fees

**Menis** · 08-11-2005, 01:18 PM

soo is he doing the 2-6 then ?

**breeze** · 18-11-2005, 03:26 AM

9th is so far away.

**Antistatic** · 18-11-2005, 04:42 AM

Don't worry it'll be here sooner than you think

**tigeryas** · 30-11-2005, 02:33 AM

**Antistatic** · 30-11-2005, 10:52 AM

**Antistatic** · 04-12-2005, 09:54 AM

Apparently, there were so many people, you couldn't move or dance..!~

**tigeryas** · 05-12-2005, 01:59 AM

might have to save it for breakfest but you never know... might topsy turvy my decision in the next few days... =/

**breeze** · 05-12-2005, 04:06 PM

Can anyone confirm?..

**Slade** · 06-12-2005, 03:04 PM

Apparently Sasha is playing 1-5.

Noonan what is the story?

**Antistatic** · 06-12-2005, 03:05 PM

I'm pretty sure he's doing 1-5 yeah. I'll post set times when I find out.

**Antistatic** · 07-12-2005, 11:00 AM

Man this really sucks. I hate being the bearer of bad news but due to unforseen circumstances Mellen Events has had to cancel Sasha this Friday night. People that have bought tickets will be able to get a refund and people that bought double packs can have their Sasha ticket refunded for $28. Needless to say I'm as disappointed as you are.

**Slade** · 07-12-2005, 11:07 AM

That's really shit news. Lets blame it on the weather.

ZD · 07-12-2005, 12:58 PM

fucken boo! let me guess? problem with metros again? i bet sydeny/ M E L B O U R N E get their shows. fuck this sucks!

eidt: this has been a really shitty year for people cancelling shows!

edit 2: someone told me there was a stabbing at metors over the weekend. fucking figures. promoaters should never use that venue again. they suck.

**breeze** · 07-12-2005, 04:40 PM

thats fucked

**ultrahai** · 07-12-2005, 04:42 PM

im so angry...$)(#)(#$#)(*$#)( )(*#$()#*)($*#()*

cood of cancelled it like last weeek but FREAKIN 2 days before the actual event!!!!!! a week to get over

wood of been alrite but 2 days!!!! ahhhhhhhhhhhhh @#@& #$#(&# #

**breeze** · 08-12-2005, 08:35 PM

^ shut your hole.

Everyone is angry , blame it on Metros.

**Donny** · 08-12-2005, 09:20 PM

A mate rang me to tell me this news - I thought it was a joke

Cancelling 2 days before the event is crap - I was really looking fwd to this gig

**BIGFATTWAT** · 09-12-2005, 07:31 PM

i think u will find its the promoters of the events fault not metros or sashas as he is playing all his other gigs in aus.

**HERETIK** · 09-12-2005, 07:50 PM

sasha cancelled his tour here aswell, (dubai) and its rescheduled for january.

he must have bird flu

**BIGFATTWAT** · 09-12-2005, 08:00 PM

**tigeryas** · 13-12-2005, 02:57 AM

unforseen circumstances... bleh so vague... if only we knew more...

...can we know more?

not enough tickets?

thats shit ... fuck u Perth .

I bet all the hoes I own, that if Sasha was playing under Godskitchen,MOS , GC etc it would be packed to the shits. Half the muthas dont even know what Djs are playing at them events.

fuck u Perth again.

You have only just woken up to this fact..... now? Hahahahhahahahahhahahahah

Interesting fact to note; Hixxy and Sharkey have rarely cancelled gigs due to ticket sales or crowd size, I think they used to call that playing for enjoyments sake. Not for (C)orporation SASHA (TM) world brand domination.

O but wait, Sasha is God right? Isnt he? Coz MIXMAG said he was....

I think its fair to say that the 'super-club' brands have much better PR Crews, Advertising and Marketing exec's, budgets and media coverage than Sasha alone. At the end of the day, this is what puts heads through doors in the events stakes, not some mythical media / promoter (oft' one and the same) created 'genre' of cutting edge (usualy a comercialised and bastardised version of previously semi-popular underground) music all their DJ's are supposedly educating the masses with.
