S.A.S.H
S.A.S.H was founded in May 2011, inspired by the Sunday party culture of Chapel Bar in London and created to fill the gap left in Sydney nightlife after the closure of Sounds on Sunday. What began as a niche Sunday afternoon gathering has grown into a weekly institution, helping define Sydney’s recovery-era nightlife for more than 15 years. Despite the theories around its name, S.A.S.H officially stands for nothing. It was inspired by the TV show MAS*H during the naming process, though fans have since created their own meanings, including “Sorry About Sundays, Honey” and “Sunday Afternoon Sunday House.” The brand became known for its Day & Night marathon format, moving from S.A.S.H by Day in The Greenwood Hotel’s open-air sandstone courtyard to S.A.S.H by Night at Home Nightclub on Darling Harbour. In late 2025, S.A.S.H entered a new chapter with S.A.S.H Saturdays at Carousel Bar & Ballroom on Oxford Street, bringing its community energy into the heart of the weekend. Musically, S.A.S.H is strictly dedicated to house, spanning deep, chuggy grooves through to minimal and tech-house, with a strong focus on sound quality and Funktion-One systems. Its culture is built around a no-phones dance floor, relaxed dress code and a loyal community known for going all-in on fancy dress, especially at the annual April birthday parties. Beyond Sydney, S.A.S.H has expanded to Melbourne, Brisbane, Byron Bay, Wollongong, Bali, Ibiza and London, while S.A.S.H Records launched in 2020 as another extension of the brand.

Transitioning from classical training to the realm of Technics and machines, Sonja Moonear has crafted a dynamic career as a DJ and producer spanning over two decades. Renowned for her discerning record selection and a distinct flair for funky-leaning techno, trippy house, and top-tier beats, she made her mark in the mid-90s Geneva squat scene before becoming a resident at Weetamix, the city's key club for the subsequent blossoming days of electronic music culture. Connecting with the minimal scene associated with the Perlon and Karat label, she collaborated with international artists and co-founded Junction SM alongside Dandy Jack. Her global presence includes performances at clubs and festivals worldwide. Notably, she restarted the vinyl-only imprint Ruta5 and organized events like the Kiss me! Festival and Cabaret fantastique. Sonja Moonear's multifaceted contributions continue to shape the electronic music landscape. Come witness her in action as she dives into her extensive record collection alongside some of the finest locals in EMMYKK & Tilly, Gumm, N.O.X + SNAXX
