Sasha has always had a passion for music from a very early age, she was surrounded by vinyl, from as young as she can remember, with her mum being a keen fan of music with 1000's of 78's Sasha's love for music & vinyl was most definately discovered, enjoying such a broad range of sounds from Blue's,Country Western, Rock, Pop and Soul from 60's right upto late 80's!
In 1989 she came across her first taste of Acid House / House Music, at the ‘Inn On The Park (Jersey). At the time the park was rated as one of the top 10 raves in Europe during the late 80’s to early 90’ hosting nights with the best names in dance music such as Sasha, Carl Cox and many other pioneering DJ’s from back in the day. Having watch the dj's perform and remembering her love for vinyl as a child, she was hooked by the mixing bug, in 1997 she bough her first set of decks's and has never looked back! Sasha has enjoyed mixing all styles of house , breaks and trance over the last 11 years, whilst playing along side many jocks such as, Mistress Mo (Gift from the Gods) and Stuart King (Sunday Club) and many more local talented dj's from within her island. She has managed and promoted her own night's The Red Light Sessions, The Top floor - Ware House, and Bar Lingo and also had plenty of guest mixes over the years in many a club in and around Jersey.
Totally facinated by the whole sound and still driving to improve her status as a dj, in 2005 she decided to take her music to the world wide web, she joined internet radio site's and began her own residencies monthly with stations like Scratch N Spin, Danceradio.gr, DI.FM, Electronic Project.Net championing up and coming new jocks with the likes of Chris Lake, Paolo Mojo, J&S project and Parallel Sound, along with the tried and tested , King Unique, Tom Stephan (Superchumbo),Ricky Stone and 16Bit Lolitas to name but a few. She also has regular appearances on station's like Proton Radio, Frisky Radio where her flawless set's have landed her more guest mixes on more than 25 other internet stations aswell! Also this year seen her hook up with long time friends Stevie Fitz and James Leaman, here they formed a collective known as C.O.U. Muzik ( Collective,Organized,Underground Muzik ) all 3 knew exactly what they wanted within the EDM scene, that was to start writing and producing their own material. Their first release called 'Dirty Sundae' was signed in 2005 to Toryumon U.K, this was the begining of a love for more material to be written and released and has now seen C.O.U. Muzik with 19 releases to present day, including remixes and E.P's
2006, see's her teaching a classroom full of pupils at one of Jersey's secondary schools ( Haute Valley ), showing the pupils everything they need to know on how to become a dj, from the equipment, the different style's of music and of course learning the techniques of mixing, here she was also blown away by the enthusiasm and interest that the pupils had shown her and has remembered the day ever since! She of course, feel's it should be a regular fixture on the pupils timetable at school!
In Dec 2006 she started working for the U.K Label Source Of Gravity Digital / Gravitation Digital as part of there in house team as there UK based Promotions Rep and has just recently been made the A+R Rep for Gravitation Digital in March 2008.
We can safely say, that Sasha's is firmly pushing her love for music all around the globe, whether it be in her flawless mixes you hear or her work with C.O.U. muzik, she is constantly learning more and more everyday, the learning never stops, that's what makes her strive so hard as a dj and writer/producer to continue feeding the globe, with all the hottest EDM sounds around!!

Native - Trying Times - C.O.U. Muzik Remix
Release Date: Aug 8th, 2008
Top Rank: Reached #2 on Jul 21st, 2008 in the progressivehouse.com charts & also in the top 10 downloads @ Resonantvibes.com weekending 3rd August 08
The original mix has a lovely retro feel while keeping in line with the sounds of the modern electronic era. Beautiful melodies and a groovy bassline make this a classic in its own right.
The Aber remix produces a gritty, techy, electro fusion that cruises at light speed whilst maintaining a smooth as silk groove that will send you to dancefloor heaven.
C.O.U. Muzik come up with a solid progressive interpretation of the original that builds to a spacey melodic breakdown that will have you lost in space.
Keeping in line with the original mix, Jacco re-arranges the sounds into a fresh blend of melodies that lead to a more techy sounding musical fest and awesome bassline drop.
