Sasha (born Alexander Coe on 4 September 1969), is a Welsh DJ and record producer. Sasha began his career playing acid house dance music in the late 1980s, and became a central figure in the development and popularisation of electronic dance music. He partnered with fellow DJ John Digweed in 1993, touring internationally and producing a series of mixes (compilations of other artists work played in a continuous fashion). Through their track selection and mixing techniques, Sasha and Digweed were instrumental in the evolution of progressive trance and house music.
Sasha has produced multiple UK-charting singles and has remixed tracks for artists such as Madonna and The Chemical Brothers. His remix of Felix da Housecat's "Watching Cars Go By" earned him a 2004 Grammy nomination. Sasha's remixing and production often combine electronic music genres, making it difficult for critics to pinpoint his musical style, including on his debut album of original work, Airdrawndagger.
After achieving success as a producer and DJ, Sasha worked with younger DJs and producers such as Brian Transeau and James Zabiela, influencing their musical styles and techniques. His use of live audio engineering equipment helped popularise technological innovations among DJs who formerly relied on records and turntables. Despite the changing trends in electronic dance music, Sasha continues to perform in large dance venues and is currently on an intercontinental tour of large European and United States venues. In 2007, he formed the record label emFire, which will be the exclusive outlet for his new music.
Sasha is best known as a Canadian advice columnist, who writes the weekly sex advice column Love Bites. Her column originated in the Montreal Mirror. After she relocated to Toronto, Love Bites made its debut in eye weekly shortly after Dan Savage's sex column moved to competitor Now in 1999.
As Sasha Van Bon Bon she is a co-creator and member of The Scandelles, a Toronto male-female burlesque cabaret troupe which has been performing since 2001. Sasha also performs as a DJ at Toronto's Gladstone Hotel http://www.eye.net/clubs/nightclubs/.
