Remember meeting some bird at the front of the dj booth at fabric who was telling me all kinds of facts about Sasha, how much she’d seen him and loved him whilst handing him lit cigarettes over and over.
GU board legends and melters
When I first moved to NY in 2008 he used do the odd show here and there , usually boat parties or one offs. Remember this was post Twilo pre Brooklyn so the clubbing scene in NY was wanna be sex in the city extras at red rope/bottle service bars or Vibal or Deep Space parties at Cielo. Fucking superb club.
Every gig this bird was there . Sarshering it front and center, proper mentalist.
May have to join that Sasha and Digweed Facebook page just to clock her ……going undercover …will report back ….wish me luck
IndustryStandard Sarshering it front and center,
Don’t think I’ve ever seen one of these stalkers “Sarshering” it. What does this entail exactly?
Seen some proper melters hovering around that booth at Fabric.
Lol I’ve never stood in front of DJ booth in club to witnesses these tragic cases
Think the only booth worth being in is Papa Sven’s
Haha fair dos
Dan Similar scenes at MOS for Harvey
Met Harvey once. That dude is a lunatic. He’s hilarious.
jonattonyeah The Don
LT42 Usually a loud larrikin whooping and shouting “Its Saarsher baby” front and center….it’s a sight believe me on these shores.
IndustryStandard I saw him leave the booth (in an absolute mangled state) at 1015 in San Fran 20 years ago to hang out with a chap he seemed to know and 2 blonde dolly birds down the front, who weren’t there for dancing shall we say. After a minute or two of schmoozing he realised he was actually going B2B with Diggers and hightailed it back to the decks. He had to walk passed his Yank disciples all groping him like he was Keith Richards. Great bangers that night.
LT42 1015
Good club that. System in the main room was excellent.
LT42 the guy is like a God in some circles here in New York, mostly down to Twilo. He used to do a couple a boat parties a year when I first got here from 2008 and every one was rammo. For a city that had fuck all house events pre Outputs opening that always surprised me. My American mates always referred to Diggers as Sasha’s record box carrier from the Twilo days, which I thought was a bit harsh but also a tad funny ……..always the bridesmaid 
IndustryStandard Sasha always brought the girls to the party
IndustryStandard Would’ve loved to have gone Twilo.
Dan I remember moving to London after Uni in ’98 expecting massive nights out listening to S&D only to find they’d buggered off to NY to do Twilo.
Proper legendary status here in NY. The last throws of NY clubbing, when there was a superclub on every corner and the whole place wasn’t gentrified to fuck. I’m mates with a group of Americans who all met at Twilo and have remained mates ever since. Great bunch. Think as America is so vast and competitive, it’s hard for them to form tribal groups of close knot friends like in the UK. Latching onto something like Twilo meant a lot to them……..plus the bangers helped……..

It is tougher over here. And people move so often. Moving also isn’t the same as in the UK as the distances are far. I have friends in Cape Cod, LA, New Orleans, New York, Boston, all over the place. One ends up moving from social group to social group depending n where you live. Making friends here is easy, but long-standing friends aren’t nearly as common.
S&D were always big here, too. Much of it being them championing local artists which a lot of big European DJs never did. Jondi & Spesh, the Hardkiss brothers, Aquatherium, a ton of West Coast/SF sound like Halo, Tony, DJ Garth. They didn’t just here to DJ, they took part of this scene with them wherever they went.
