At this year’s annual TheRoom LIVE event, one of the original British superstar DJs — SASHA will perform in Riga. Sasha has been named World’s No.1 DJ multiple times and is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in electronic music history.
For more than a decade, TheRoom LIVE has been an undisputed part of Riga’s vibrant nightlife culture. Traditionally, the TheRoom dance event is announced only once a year, with a different unique location chosen each time — ranging from a loft with a cozy rooftop terrace, to a gallery in central Riga, a theatre, or even a museum. Following tradition, the location of this year’s event will be revealed closer to the event date, but true to TheRoom’s concept, it is once again expected to be an exclusive and unconventional venue.
The headline guest of this year’s event will be Sasha (real name Alexander Coe), a British electronic music icon who has effectively defined the superstar DJ era since the early 2000s. A DJ, producer, and composer, Sasha is one of the true pioneers of electronic music, with an influence spanning more than three decades on the global dance music scene.
Named World’s No.1 DJ in the prestigious DJ Mag poll, Sasha is widely considered a pioneer of the progressive house genre. He rose to international prominence in the 1990s with the iconic mix albums Renaissance: The Mix Collection and the Northern Exposure series, created together with John Digweed.
Joining Sasha at this year’s TheRoom LIVE event will be the legendary Lithuanian DJ duo Marius Ivanoff and Mindaugelis. These cult Lithuanian DJs, with a legion of fans in Latvia, have played only a few exclusive B2B sets in recent years, making every show together a must-see, in Baltics.
