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.

Standing at the arse of the year and looking back at 2023 and the memories and moments we’ve shared; we’ve changed stables a couple of times, and opened the new doors at Carousel, we’ve welcomed the likes of Enzo Siragusa, Margaret Dygas, Voigtmann and Raresh amongst a whole host of others. We journeyed up to your splendid town of Byron Bay a healthy handful of times and can safely say it’s one of our favourite destinations to pop by. From seriously heavy hitting events in the depths of the Theatre, to digging deep into the discography of Djebali at The Northern, we’ve done the rounds this year but we’re not done just yet. We have one last show in up in Byron Bay before we clock off for the year and pretend to get some rest and relaxation. We’ve saved our biggest guest till the very last night of the year - Sonja Moonear. Relaxed about publicity, slick behind the decks and, with a keen eye for the dance floor, Moonear now ranks among dance music's most in-demand selectors, with a versatile and rhythmic style that takes in a broad cross-section of house, techno and minimal. She’ll be taking the reigns at Byron Theatre on Friday 29th December, to give us all a good serving of proper house music and remind us why she is the Queen of The Underground. Byron born & bred, Dylan Griffin returns to home soil to make sure our gal Sonja has her stirrups firmly fastened and her saddle slung ready. Kerry Wallace will also be in tow, unable to be torn away from the deep red ambiance of The Theatre. Joining the crew, and opening things up for us, Fer Ciccive makes his S.A.S.H debut, after getting demonstrably deep with a superb warmup mix submission. All in all, it’s a recipe made for masters, and will be packed well to the rafters. Every S.A.S.H Byron event has sold out in advance, get in early to secure your spot on the dance floor and ensure you don’t miss out on serious house music royalty. See you on the dance floor xx
