PICK OF THE CLUB NIGHTS
MUSIKA
SASHA & GUY GERBER
Liquid Room, Victoria St,
10.30pm - 5pm, £20, 0131-225-2564
EVERY year, the Fringe kicks off in a buzz of excitement as the city transforms into haven for 24 hour party people.
As you would expect there is something special to mark the occasion - superstar DJs Sasha and Guy Gerber will headline Musika at the Liquid Room on Saturday night.
With Smirnoff sponsoring and a newly refurbished garden area complete with bar it's the ideal venue to party.
Sasha is world famous, having brought acid house to the UK back in the 80's. More recently he has been championing new technologies to mix music (purists cover your ears… laptops).
He's clearly at the forefront and, for many who believe they're listening to a rare remix or unheard of track, it's not so. Sasha re-edits everything he plays before the gig. Playing live on decks routing everything through a plethora of effects boxes, sculpting the sound that's unmistakably 'Sasha'.
Interested yet? With a marathon three hour set billed for Saturday's event including support from Guy Gerber's Live show, you should be.
Gerber is the enigmatic Israeli born DJ whose Stoppage Time on Bedrock Records was an anthem which pulled in five figure sales - a virtually impossible task in an age when reality TV pop stars rule the chart.
What does he sound like? It’s probably easier to clarify him with three Es… euphoric, emotive and energy-driven.
My ticket's bought... is yours? It should be.

What was your most banging gig ever?
We've been fortunate to have had many jumping nights at Telefunken - Derrick Carter, DJ Sneak and Jamanta Crew were the classic nights that stand out.

Being a fan of many musical genres it's impossible to choose but a memorable house track that sounds as fresh today as then is chez damier - can you feel it (Mk Dub).
