DJ Sasha to headline Smirnoff Experience

Smirnoff Experience Cape Town will be held at Atmospheer, the club that has played host to many of the world's leading DJ's, including Paul Oakenfold, Fatboy Slim and Paul van Dyk. Support acts in Cape Town include Dean Fuel, Ivan Turanjanin and Chris Jack. In Johannesburg, Smirnoff Experience, with Sasha, hits the decks on the outside dance floor at Truth in Midrand. A massive line-up is planned across four dance floors, including three additional international acts: Franky Rizardo from the Netherlands, Federico Molinari and Barem, both from Argentina.

"We are really excited to welcome Sasha back to South Africa and we are sure that Smirnoff Experience fans will enjoy this event tremendously. This event is a taste of things to come and, although the production is not as massive as Smirnoff Experience Mashup Street, it has been organised with the same flare and attention to detail that makes Smirnoff events so unique and fun to be at," said Adrian Petersen, marketing manager for Smirnoff South Africa.

Most innovative icon

Sasha is recognised as one of the world's most innovative icons of the electronic genre thanks to his ability to propel listeners into the future of electronic music by constructing forward-thinking concept albums and live events that blur the lines between artist and DJ.

He has established himself as a formidable and in-demand remixer by reconstructing tracks from an incredible array of artists such as Depeche Mode, Madonna, Seal, Unkle, The Chemical Brothers, BT, Thom Yorke (Radio Head) and Orbital. The Grammy-nominated artist won Best Soundtrack Award at the 2008 X-Dance Awards after scoring the soundtrack for surf film, New Emissions of Light and Sound.

They join a strong South African DJ line-up that includes Roger Goode, Roger D'Lux, Ricardo Da Costa, Guy Herman, Jon S, Louis, Speedy, Morgan and Eddy Virgo.
