Sasha

British DJ and producer.

Born: 4 September 1969 in Bangor, Gwynedd, Wales, UK.

A well-renowned DJ and production figure in trance and progressive house circles, Sasha became famous in the late 1980s and early 1990's for residencies at clubs like Shelley's (Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England), [l=The Hacienda] (Manchester, England), and most notably [l=Renaissance] ("Venue 44" in Mansfield, England; later "The Conservatory", Derby, England). At Renaissance, he formed a now famous longterm DJ partnership with [a=John Digweed] (as [a=Sasha & John Digweed]), one continued for many years, and they produced the first major commercially released studio-produced DJ mix "[m=1477]" (1994) – now largely considered a pioneering release of its time.

In the early-to-mid 1990s, he produced several productions of his own and did remixes for [a=Urban Soul], [a=M People], [a=Creative Thieves], and the [a=Pet Shop Boys], amongst others. In 1999, he formed a new partnership in the studio with [a=Charlie May] (one half of [a=Spooky]) and released the "[m=37613]" (1999), and the full-length album "[m=8581]" (2002).

In 1997 he founded and ran the now defunct [l=Excession] label, later followed in 2007 by [l=emFire], a new label for his own recordings. In late 2011 he launched his new digital imprint [l=Last Night On Earth].
