Duchess Presents: HOUSE MIX (FEAT: The Sly Virus

Duchess is proud to announce another special Guest! The Sly Virus (Vancouver)Sascha Yamashita is a northern BC born, multi-disciplinary artist currently calling Bowen Island BC home, who partitions his creativity between two fields, DJ’ing and conceptual fine art.Sascha Yamashita’s artwork cannot be defined by a single medium but he rather embraces all mediums, selecting the appropriate one to best convey the content of the specific piece or series. It is in Yamashita’s unique approach to his content that his work can be both recognized and distinguished by.This same creative approach drives Sascha Yamashita’s ear for music. Having always had a passion for music but never learning to play, 13+ years ago he turned towards the creativity of mixing records. Today, Sascha Yamashita is known throughout BC to DJ under two different monikers, the sly virus and Aleksandr – each delivering a different yet quality audio experience.The sly virus flawlessly mixes a multitude of funkier ‘house’ sub-genres including, indie dance, nu disco, balearic, and deep house to bring parties his unmistakeable style of ‘Deep Disco’.Aleksandr (a newer DJ project, 13 years in the making) focuses his musical selections in deep, melodic and ethereal house music to give his audiences a sophisticated and emotional progression on the dance floor.Regardless, of whichever moniker Sascha is performing under, he is known for perfectly curated, mixed sets that can only be described as purely infectious! With either the sly virus or Aleksandr behind the decks it is clearly evident he can keep the vibe going at all hours – never failing to deliver!$5 Cover19+ EVENT
