2.THE BEGINNING
Sascha
Lappessen was the real beginning of
Sash!.He is a 27 year old DJ and keyboard
player
which comes from a little town in Germany called
Nettetal.He is a DJ in a club called "KINGS" where he started off as a
waitor,after that he became a Light Jockey and electrical engineer in the
same club.He became a DJ at the age of 16 and right after that he met Ralf
Kappmeier.They released a single together named "Indian Rave" under the
name of "Careka".Unfortunatelly this single was
not very succesfull.Some time later they met Thomas Alisson and formed
SASH!.
3.THE SINGLES
In
1995 SASH! released their first single called "It's My Life" which
managed
to reach in the DJ Charts later on(1996).But the real success for them
came with the release of their next single "Encore Une Fois" with the vocals
of Sabine Ohmes.And the result of that cooperation was the well known
french sentence "Medames Messieurs,Le Disc Jockey SASH
Est De Retour".The single sold over 2.000.000
copies worldwide and was a really massive and unexpected success for SASH!.The
next step of them was "Ecuador" with Spanish vocals from an
Argentinean DJ that lives in Germany named Rodriguez.The
single released in 1997 and soon became a pan European hit as it reached
in the Top 5 places in the European Top 20 and also managed to reach the
2nd place in the English Chart.In the end of 1997 they released their next
single (Which is my favorite) named "Stay" with the brilliant voice of
Frankie McCoy (La Trec).
"Stay"
became a huge hit all over Europe and
reached again in the 2nd place of the European Chart.
The next single in the beginning of 1998 was
"La Primavera" with Italian vocals by a vocalist named
Victoria.It reached number 4 in the european
Top 20.Their latest single is Mysterious times in which
they are featuring the well known vocalist Tina
Cousins which made a quite big success here in Greece (I don't now about
the rest Europe) with the single "Killing Time".In the English chart in
one week it managed to climb up 37 places from number 40 to number 3.Also
managed to reach the Top 5 places in Europe.The next single from the album
"Life Goes On" will propably be Move Mania.
