8 with ol’ mate Rossko
05.06.19
What’s your classic house track guilty pleasure?
Not sure if this is a ‘classic’ but to me this track screams it, one I will never ever get tired of playing…
Got a good afterparty story?
No comment! 😉
Bali is known for its temples, good food, beaches and beautiful people. What are you keen to do here while in Bali?
Eat. Sleep. Repeat. Perfect time to relax, refresh and reset before Australia.
What’s your best shit joke?
really? Here goes.
I’m dating a girl from the zoo, She’s a keeper.How was your first gig?
My 1st ever gig was in Amsterdam. The wonders of Myspace, me and my friend was just bedroom DJ’s we hadn’t even played in our local town yet when a promoter contacted us. We played at Club Escape (A club like Home in terms of size and rooms) I remembered we played alongside Laidback Luke this was about 13 years ago!
I can even remember riding the train from the airport to the city centre and seeing under a motorway bridge a huge poster. UK debut Captain Rossco b2b DJ Dowee. (Yes that was my 1st DJ name all them years ago!).Tell us about your worst gig? What happened?
In the end some people just don’t get it and put parties on for all the wrong reason. I think I played to about 20 people in Italy I felt more sorry for the guy then anything else. He had to learn the hard way.
Looking forward to S*A*S*H long weekend?
Long weekends are legendary I think this is my third long weekend. I love both the day and night parties and of course all the crew associated with it. It’s great to come back every year and re-connect, especially spinning on the terrace when the sun comes up.
Good music. Good peoples. Good times.What was the turning point when you decided to chase down a career in music over football career?
Football I had no choice due to injury but I had many jobs in between, from Gardner to a Salesman – one day when I was working for a football website I was always listening to my music in headphones getting in trouble. Then one day I saw the light. I just got up walked over to my director and told him I quit I got to do music. He simply replied ‘ Finally, go follow your dreams’. We’re still friends to this day. He was a successful Swiss entrepreneur he even had me and Sven Vath play his wedding about 10 years ago.
Sometimes its hard to make decisions with your head and your heart so I went with my gut. Choices define who you are, the good ones and the bad ones. Don’t let fear eat you up. -

Blowing out 102 Celebrations at Greenwood
28.07.17With a total of 102 events hosted under the S*A*S*H banner at The Greenwood Hotel, we celebrate a total of two years within our North Sydney stable.
Now holding a special place within us,
We’ve gone through the sounds, videos and photos of the last two years and picked out some of the high lights.
Let’s take a ride through the times…★ All Day I Dream – Lee Burridge, Mathew Dekay, YokoO ★
When you’re asked to host one of the most prolific brands in the world, you hold back no punches. With a sound system to rival a small festival, several hundred meters of material, lights and a little extra love, The Greenwood became the perfect backdrop to host our dear old friend, Yokoo as well of two of the scenes most highly regarded artists.While technically not under the S*A*S*H banner, we believe the results speak for themselves and it was clear, it was time to make our return to the sunshine! The seed of S*A*S*H by Day was planted.
★ Phil Weeks and Joss Moog ★
In a day opened by two of Sydney’s most polished house selectors, Rabbit Taxi and Adam Stromstedt in the afternoon slot, Joss Moog took the reigns for what still stands as one of the best sets delivered through the Funktion One rig.In a masterclass performed with French flare, Phil Weeks delivered it home with what was without a doubt, a standout week in our short and humble history at the North Sydney stable.
More from this bad boy can be found here…
★ S*A*S*H Birthday’s ★
Given that birthdays are a little more special and they only come around once a year, it feels fitting to celebrate in a slightly larger fashion.. or EXCESSIVELY, if you would.
By the soundtracks of Mark Henning and Kevin Griffiths The ‘ol Church has hosted two of our 6 S*A*S*H’s birthdays, and done so in style!
★ Molly at Day ★
As resident at Paris’ legendary Rex Club, Molly has established herself as one of the city’s brightest talents, combining passion, integrity and talent to launch a successful DJ career and producing.
She’s been at the very top of our wish list for some time and most definitely worth the wait!
★ Opening Weekend ★
We wouldn’t have gotten to two years without starting somewhere. At the Hands of one of UK’s don’s, Eddie Richards and Belgium house legend, Red D. From the very first weekend, we joined in the sunshine and it was clear – this was something we must continue.Since then we’ve hosted decorated international dignitaries, local heroes, fresh faces and a crowd spanning every corner of the globe.
★ Subsonic Music Festival Launch ’17 ★
With every changing of the calendar the countdowns begin till the first weekend of December – Subsonic Music Festival.Renowned globally for the wonder, warmth a color that makes Subsonic one of the most special events in Australia, the Greenwood had been given the whole hog Riverwood Downs treatment in classic Subsonic styling.
Musically reflecting what the festival is about, it spanned reggae, house, techno, drum and bass, hip hop and all the shades and nuances in between.
While the visual feast had been paired with some of the very finest cream of the musical crop – John Dimas, Molly and Hanfry Martinez.
★ Andrey Pushkarev ★
Off the back of his first Australian tour, the Russian brought his swooning and moody music out of the stark cold of Europe and into the sundrenched heat of Australia.In a world where the lines between Dj and producers have bee blurred and often run hand in hand, the Russian has focused solely on continuing to hone his sound as a Dj.
★ S*A*S*H NYE ★
… This one hasn’t technically happened yet – but it seems as though New Years Eve falls on a Sunday this year.
To everyone at the venue; the legendary security, the bar tenders, managers and glassies – thank you.
To our sound techs who rain hail or shine throw around the rig and bust their chops weekly – thank you.
To our photographer – Guil who relentlessly is pushing himself to capture the moments we share – thank you.
To our impeccable staff who provide the warmth, soul and dedication every single Sunday – thank you.
To the world class locals who prove the quality and quantity of variety and Australia’s talent – thank you.
To all the international guests we’ve hosted who have shared their music and limitless joy – thank you.
Finally, those who none of this would be possible without, those who come every week, provide the energy and shuffling feet, the crowd –THANK YOU!

A Reason to Froth..
28.10.16
Robbie, AKA, R.L AKA, #1Frother AKA Smiling Assassin, call what you wish, it really is a name that has become synonymous with one thing; quality house music.
Across every event, venue and festival worth it’s salt, Robbie’s two decade career has seen him become one of the scene’s cornerstones for all the right reasons. We have given him the reigns of The Greenwood ahead of this Sunday’s S.A.S.H by Day. He’ll be hosting an afternoon under the spring sun at the hands of; yung gun – Colo Saravia, ‘Big-Dumb’ – Jeff Barrass, ‘Smooth-Operator’ – Garth Linton, ‘Bring-the-Partee’ – Ben Nott and of course, the man himself.
Ahead of that, we took 5 with and tackled some big issues.. Ibis birds, records and Sharon.
Would you rather:
Never surf or never dj again?
Wow that’s tuff … um .. um .. I honestly don’t know and can’t make that decision. It’s like asking would you rather loose you sight or your hearing …Be able to fly or be invisible?
Fly .. I’d spend most of my time in the air for sure!Dildos for legs or Doritos for fingers?
Do the Doritos grow back? If so Doritos.What would your hip hop Dj name be?
Robbie Scratch n SniffWhich global venues / parties you haven’t played yet would you still love to cross off your list?
There’s a few no doubt but first to come to mind is Blkmarket in NY. I love NY!Quick response – what’s the first thing that comes to mind:
– Ibis birds: aren’t they the birds that hang around bins and pick thru our mess? Good on them I say.
– Spiders: Smart creepy little fuckers.
– Sync button: Of course there is …
– Mike Baird: Public enemyWhat’s your specialty dish? What’s the secret to making it
Can’t cook, won’t cook.Where did Sharon come from?
I started calling Garth Sharon a while ago … for absolutely no reason at all. There’s a bunch of us that seem to never call each other by our real names … it’s weird but very funny. Matt Weir got hold of Sharon and really ran with it. Now everyone is called Sharon.A record that never leaves your bag?
Gat Decor – Passion is a tune that has travelled with me thru the years. Still makes a very positive impact on the dancefloor. In fact, I’ll play it forever! Lots of sentimental value with this record for me – was actually one of the first I bought and learnt to mix with on the turnies.Describe your life with one song title?
Man I’m a vinyl DJ .. I only know songs by cover artwork.What’s your spirit animal?
TortoiseIf you could have dinner with one person, dead or alive – who would it be? Why?
Prince. He is one of my hero’s!
Non fictional character – Rocky Balboa. I reckon he could teach me a thing or 2 about life.What’s the last picture you took on your phone?
MyselfWho inspires you?
Family, friends and anyone that is out there giving it a red hot go!If you could play b2b with one dj – dead or alive – who would it be?
Danny HowellsJoin us in the wonderful communion under the banner music as the sun sets on Sydney for another lashing among the halls of The Greenwood Hotel.
