It's not the type of music I'm generally into. I like something a little harder (So I spent half the night in the other room)
But it was good. I enjoyed it, but like I said...not exactly my type of music.
Good to see everyone I did though! Seems like you all had a fairly good night!

Loved Kontrols set and thought Angu$ was fuckin brilliant! Cheesy hard house at its very best

Sasha is a top DJ but it was a little slow for me.....sorta music I wouldnt really wanna hear in a club...maybe at home...while tryin to fall asleep Caught the first and last bits of his set and it was pretty sweet towards the end.

Over all it was a pretty good night and Heaven had a great atmosphere. It was great to catch up with everyone again and to meet a few new itmers

Sasha blew me away, his mixing was so smooth and his choice of tunes surprised me coz it was so funky, he exceeded my expectations. Heaven was really rocking and packed out.

I had a great nite, also thought Angas and Dj Josh played great sets before and after Sasha - what a party!

Good to meet so many ITMers - probably the best turn out yet! Finally met Logik, vieira4, Kezy and Goatboy.

... and Wind Up at Minke tonite ... does it get any better than this?

the next big wannabe DJ !

it was heaps good, trying to do all that mixing at once and having 3-4 cdj / turntables going at once is really quite hard but he did a exellent job

yeah i saw some ppl around me were thinking can u speed it up, but all honsetly his set was almost up there for me

want to see him play tonight again

didnt meet any itm'ers as i dont know what u look like

all well .... maybe next time

Sasha was unbelievable and a real treat for those who could overcome the un-Chemistry bpm's!

Vintage Sasha, tough & dirty trance sounds along with his staple diet of melodic prog.

Will write more after I get some sleep....

Off to Sydney in the morning for a repeat performance.

Additional tunes spotted:
James Holden - Nothing
Sasha & Underworld - Cowgirl/Xpander
Fluke - Pulse
Gwill Morris - Time

Speaking of Gwill, if you enjoyed Sasha and are looking for more of the same, Gwill Morris, touted as the next Sasha and one of the hottest producers on the UK scene, takes up the Fabric challenge at Skylab Fri 20 Dec. Tix on sale now!

Well i experienced Sasha last night... I dont know what to say! He seems like a VERY VERY experienced DJ and definitely earns my respect and I now realise why he is so greatly appreciated...i mean all that equipment he was using...yikes!!

As for the music he was playing, I dunno! Methinks u gotta be on some kinda drug to get into it, I bopped for a while before I decided that it was a little too the same and that I couldnt sing-along! I think it is best described as 'long'...my word of the night! He also uses a lot of nature sounds...and i swear i heard some water pipes in there! There was definitely a WICKED atmosphere in Heaven though, I havent seen it quite like that for awhile, if ever!! It seemed every man and his dog was there though.

I popped into the hard room for a bit n saw Sally groovin away... great to meet all you nutty ITM-ers; Ntrance, Lightning Chyld, Beekayz (sorry i didnt get to dance wit ya! hehe), Belks, Syd...ummm and whoever else i met that has slipped my mind!sowwy

All up it was quite an experience and my friend who was down from Brissy really enjoyed herself and has already planned her next trip to Adel for some serious partying!! yay!

What a night! I finaly got tospend some time on the dance floor,not working for once! Sasha well and truly lived up to his rep. If only we could have Ferry Corsten and Sasha on the same night...

Good to see you out there giving it a go Kezy. Although it's not your style, you gave it a chance and didn't just bag it, we need more people like you.

Viera4, you might be able to work out who I am from the shirt I was wearing... O2. Come up and say hi one night and you just might be able to relive Thurs night.

yeah, a very impressive set, he slowly worked the crowd into it. i was watching from up top right at teh end of the set (too stuffed to dance at that stage!) and everyone was loving it.. I have to say, for the type of music that i don't usually listen to, i had a really good night, and enjoyed dancing thoroughly.. it was a bit packed at the begining but as soon as people settled down and found their space, it was great! and you just can't fault the heaven setup- awesome lights, sound and lasers..
in all a very cool night..
and good to see some itmers there, i'll have to endeavor to meet everyone at enchanted...

Till next time!

Hmm well I have heard mixed opinions from lots of people and also from what you guys have written, and to be honest I think that I woulda loved it. I am a bit of a prog fan and would have loved to have seen how some ppl reacted to it.

Glad you all had a good night, my night was far from boring though anyway..

what a night!
sashas set was perfectly programed,perfectley mixed and perfectly grooved to.i havnt been that locked in to sounds since nick [email removed] progression from funky, to melodic prog,to downwright dirty trance was brilliant.
to those who dont like certain styles,which is fine.u should appreciate a set for other reasons,dont forget he played for 3 hrs.and managed to keep nearly everone rockin.in personally dont like some other stlyes but always find a good set enjoyable no matter what theyre playing.i cant think of any hard house, nrg djs playing as well a constructed set for 3 hrs.

Yeah..I hear that in Sydney he made it rain before and after his set.
In Adelaide he was considerate enough to provide us with a roof!

Actually he stopped the rain for the duration of this set on a piss poor Sydney day only allowing for a light shower to start during the Cowpander breakdown confirming my suspicions that he indeed is the son of god.
