9 Enrico Sangiuliano 'Moon Rocks'

After Josh Wink, it was the turn of another island legend. The one they call Sasha. If you think the main room is busy for Wink then you don't even want to know how even more people managed to cram more in for Sasha. But they do and the set is a calculated yet masterful final bow out from the UK hero.

Some go for all-out classics and sing-a-longs but Sasha opts for a carefully considered hour that doesn't give the crowd what they want. He makes us work for it. The first three tracks are nothing more than venomous kicks and floating synths. A proper intro and one that sets the tone for the rest of the set. Here's a man who's graced that Terrace and Discoteca more than you'd care to imagine and he's staying true to his status as a pioneer, consistently pushing the limits. Seeing Eats Everything fist pump in the crowd behind the decks is a real moment, his excitement noticeable and well received by those around him.

After three or four tracks of Sasha's intro section, he finally becomes ready to unleash. 'Moon Rocks' by Enrico Sangiuliano is the one that breaks the seal and as soon as those snares come crashing in, it's no-messing. Anything on Drumcode usually bears a certain weight and this is no different. Definition of a bruiser.
