Sasha & Max Cooper @ Musika, 17 July

 

Make no mistake, The Liquid Room has been sorely missed in Edinburgh since a fire rendered it out of action in December 2008. Now, after eighteen months of club night Musika being nomadic and sleeping rough in every venue in the capital, it makes a welcome return to its former home. Ushering in the next Musika era are appearances from both Sasha and Max Cooper on 17 July, Sasha has been a regular entry in the Top Ten DJs in the World Chart, as voted by readers of DJMag every year since 1997. Influenced by the early sound of The Haçienda, Sasha began his career playing records within the acid house genre and during the 1990s, he adopted a darker European house music style. This changed as he moved to dance music club brand and label Renaissance where he began to use the music of Moby, Spooky, and Leftfield.
