Legendary DJ Sasha is returning to Shanghai with his latest album "Invol2ver" to perform at Club JJ2 in the city center on Saturday.

The Welsh DJ/producer is best known for his contribution to the evolution of progressive trance and house music. He has been voted in the top 10 DJs in the world by readers of DJ Magazine every year since 1997, placing first in 2000.

Released in September, "Invol2ver", the sequel to Sasha's highly acclaimed 2004 album "Involver", was one of the most anticipated albums in the electronic music scene in years.

Featuring 13 tracks, the progressive house and breaks mix continued Sasha's innovative approach to music. Apart from original material, he also included a diverse collection of his favorite tracks by other artists such as Apparat and Thom Yorke, picking them apart then weaving them back into his own interpretations.

He also applied elements such as post rock and electro pop to these latest works.

Much loved by Chinese fans, the busy DJ visits China almost annually as part of the hectic globetrotting tour schedule he maintains performing at large dance venues around the world.

The Shanghai party will be warmed up by promising Chinese DJ duo John and Kaka and veteran British DJ Tim Crouch.

The organizer, www.udancecn.com, China's first and only 24-hour nonstop Internet radio station playing electronic dance music, will broadcast Saturday's show live.

Ten VIP tickets will also be given away. Log on to the Web site for more information.
