SASHA: RE-FRACTED
2017-05-24Using his album ‘Scene Delete’ as the starting point, Sasha, the irrefutable trailblazer of House, along with his key collaborators, promised and presented a career defining, reworked live experience at The Barbican.
Having DJed to all kinds of crowds over the past 20 years, from raves in fields with hundreds of thousands of people to intimate venues with a couple of hundred people, Sasha found performing his music at The Barbican an exciting and terrifying opportunity, ‘I never thought that this would be something that I’d be involved in or get to do…To be offered the chance to perform my music at this iconic venue was something that I could not turn down.’
An unforgettable moment was the encore performance of ‘Xpander’, a larger than life favourite, that to many defines Sasha and his sound. The energy and atmosphere created from ‘Xpander’ alone was beyond words.
‘Sasha: re-Fracted’ was an electrifying night with vocalists, synths, an eight-piece string section, an orchestral percussionist and drum machines coming together to create an evening full of nostalgia, power and passion.
