Yeh yeh .... I realise I'm a little bit late with this but thought I'd throw up a post anyway 
After Sasha's "performance" and antics at WHP a few weeks earlier (i.e. playing 45 mins and calling it a day without so much as a twitter to explain) bets were being taken on whether he'd even turn up
The good news is that (i) he did (ii) he was early
and (iii) he was bang on form
This really was a great way to start 2010. Firstly I'd like to give a shout out to Andy Newland and the Twisted Audio guys (Andy + Warren Mooney, Sarah Rodin and guest Steve Marx) who run regular nights in London + the occasional boat party + the odd night in snazzy worldwide locations (nice work if you can get it). Twisted Audio are a great example of people with a passion for EDM and have been pro-active in making sure that, if the night doesn't exist out there, then we'll damn well put one on. So kudos !
Twisted Audio has really taken off in the past year and I'd urge anyone in London to check them out - hosting the Baby Box at MOS they played brilliant progressive vs deep house i.e. the music we all love, and crucially they were on it from the off. Having been to a few nights across the UK they are simply far superior to a lot of the dirge that goes for clubbing music these days. Plus they are all very down to earth and a great bunch.

.... right, after a brilliantly twisted start to the evening it's onto events in the main MOS room (The Box) where Sasha turned up (and started) early - I reckon his watch was still on Madrid time.
Here's photographic proof that he turned up !
Playing off the new CDJ 2000's with the tracks taken from his mac Sasha was on fire for 3 hours. Lots of the deep lush eclectic music that we love him to play, but with a structure, planting ideas and developing the set, with the whole dancefloor really getting into what was being played.
Some comments taken from the Bedrock board:
"TA room was rocking too, great set from Warren and then Steve and Andy cranked it up with stuff like Jay Lumen - Morning Cocktail, that Funk D'Void remix of Vince Watson and D Dub - Rise Up. Left at about 1:30 as Sasha had come on early.
Well that was quite something, probably the best set I have seen Sasha play for 3 or 4 years. The CDJs made all the difference in my opinion and you could see he was clearly enjoying himself.
He had a real hypnotic groove going and was quite uplifting for the last few hours. He even turned up early too, (about 45 mins early) what was all that about ???
I only recognised Butch - 1000 Lords (Zoo Brazil mix), which sounded awesome and a few others, was mostly newish stuff. Would love to know what some of those tunes were. Some proper epic melodic prog tracks and plenty of bassline destroyers. In short, nothing short of amazing. "
" Quite simply outstanding. He clearly enjoys playing on the Ministry system and the fact he was enjoying himself so much clearly showed in the music. He absolutely nailed it last night. Everyone I spoke to and all the crowd I was with loved it. After a couple of years with average sets, this restored the faith again. "
