DJ Sasha to perform at Solar Beach Istanbul

Urban Bug is proud to welcome DJ Sasha at Solar Beach, for a rare Istanbul appearance on July 9th.

One of the legends of the global dance music scene, Sasha has been at it for over twenty years now, and needs no introduction to any clubgoer. Prepare for an evening of some of the most innovative sounds around from one of the original masters of the scene.

DJ/producer/remixer SASHA is recognized as one of the world’s most innovative icons of the electronic genre.

He propels listeners into the future of electronic music by constructing innovation and forward thinking concept albums (Airdrawndagger, Involver, Invol2ver) and live events (Delta Heavy, Fundacion, V_rtek) that blur the boundaries
between artist and DJ.

In addition to playing 100 shows across 30 countries in 2009 including a successful Ibiza residency at Cream Amnesia, Sasha had a prolific year in the studio – remixing top singles for Kasabian, Doves, Little Boots and Damian Lazarus. He also released remix packages and singles through his label imprint, emFire including The Midnight Eclipse EP, which features remixes of two tracks, ‘Eclipse’ (Sasha vs. Ray LaMontagne) and ‘Midnight’ (Charlie May) from the critically acclaimed Invol2ver album. In the dawn of a new decade, Sasha is staying busy as ever on the road and in the studio.
