Saschco

Saschco aka Sascha Gojkovic got infused with music at avery early age already. His father, an all­round musician himself, that used to soothe him with the radio next to the cradle and later got him a drum­kit for birthday, laying the groundworks for his first joyful and ambitious first journeys into rhythm. As a genuine boy from Duisburg he would have loved to become a soccer player, but his love for music was stronger. Drawing his first inspirations from the Black­Music scene and it’s local figurehead DJ Sidney Fresh, he bought his first vinyl and started spinning them on modified record players, resulting in a gig in Duisburg’s “Easy” in 1989 ­ the first in a series of countless bookings. In the first half of the nineties Saschco was heavily influenced by DJs and local friends Andry Nalin (of Nalin & Kane fame) or Oliver Klein (Mutekki, Electribe, etc) and starts slipping the first techno and house records into his mixes. Renowned for his long sets interweaving groove­monsters and bass­heavy hooks, Saschco is now professionally living the life of a pureblood musician since 1996. In 2006 Saschco released his masterpiece “Feelo” on the respected “Electribe” record label, resulting in countless appeareances on numerous compilations ­ amongst them Steven Lawler’s “Viva” compilation of the world­famous “Ministry of Sound” series. Collaborating with Harada resulted in the release of “Tooltime” on Pearldiver Records for the harmonious producer­duo, while the fruit of his partnership with long­time idol Andry Nalin ­ the seminal “The Death of A Black Flower” ­ got signed to Supercow in 2007. Saschco’s deep passion for music and his new project will be showcased next with his upcoming releases on Cirque Du Son Recordings.
