SASHA

There are DJs who turn up, play records and make people dance. And 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 but 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 90s club scene, that magic touch has made Alexander Coe one of the most famous, most revered DJs on the planet.

Sasha's DJ career started at the seminal Manchester club The Haçienda before he went on to make a name for himself with a residency at the renowned and much loved Shelley's in Stoke. When all the other DJ's were playing US House, Sasha's style was much more uplifting, and he captivated clubbers with his mixture of piano led Italian House whilst playing acapella tracks over the top.

Shelley's was the launch pad for Sasha’s residency at Renaissance, where Sasha created his niche and helped forge a new style in UK house music. Since then Sasha has been inextricably linked with the Renaissance brand both in the UK and on the International club circuit including regular events at Ibiza’s most glamorous club, Pacha.

There are many examples of Sasha’s superstar status. In fact he was the first DJ cover star - on Mixmag in early 1991. He has even achieved where hundreds have failed by becoming a household name for many teenagers in America following a gruelling three month coast to coast tour.

Now Sasha brings his trademark sound to Birmingham’s Custard Factory where he will yet again team up with Renaissance’s to headline “Wild in the City” on Sunday May 4th.
