17th July 2010 – MUSIKA Relaunch with SASHA, The HMV Picture House, Edinburgh
It is with big disappointment to announce we have been informed over the weekend that The Liquidroom will not be ready for this forthcoming weekend. This is due to a fire curtain that is required to be added following a building assessment, which involves removing part of the ceiling this week. We believe the club will be now ready on the Monday July 19th, so we have literally have just missed out by 2 days.
However, we are relieved to announce our contingency plan has been put into place. Saturday’s event with SASHA will now take place at The HMV Picture House.
The Liquidroom shall be supplying us with their brand spanking new sound system alongside their new lighting and visual spec to add to the Picture House production and ensure the event is sounding and looking of the highest quality. This is the first time this new equipment shall ever be used.
The Picture House will open at 11pm, with a pre-club starting at 8pm at The City Café.
As disappointing as it is that The Liquidroom is not ready, let’s not forget the fact SASHA is still coming to Edinburgh this weekend for his first appearance in 7 years and the date marks the re-launch of Musika’s monthly events in the capital. The party is well and truly ON!!
For further details check this Facebook post.

A lot has happened in 18 months, but one thing is for sure, in that time The Liquidroom has been sorely missed from the Edinburgh music/club scene…
Yes it’s true, It’s been 18 months since the fateful fire that seen the demise of The Liquidroom back in December 2008. For Musika, that meant we were homeless, but we felt compelled to make a heartfelt effort to find a way of continuing our ongoing mission of bringing the world’s top House & Techno acts to the city; refusing to turn dormant and fade away, holding party’s with the likes of Luciano to Digweed to Joris Voorn to Laurent Garnier, in almost every other possible Edinburgh venue we could…
We are now absolutely delighted to announce the eagerly anticipated details of our re-launch party and a return to monthly events at our beloved home….. The Liquidroom!!
We’d like to start as we mean to go on and we really have lined up some top drawer line-ups for the rest of 2010, however it will be hard to top our opening party. We launch in style with no other than SASHA doing the honours, marking a long awaited return to the Scottish capital.
SASHA is recognized as one of the most innovative icons of the electronic genre. Quite simply one of the World’s most recognised DJ/Producers. SASHA has led the way and written dance music history; from his early Hacienda days to the legendary Northern Exposure and Global Underground mixes to never to be forgotten tracks such as “Be as One” to “Xpander” and albums from to Airdrawndagger to Involver…..
The legacy starts here.
Address: The HMV Picture House, Edinburgh (where?).
Doors: TBA.
Entry: £22.00 after from Ticket Scotland, Rippin Records, St James Shopping Centre, Ticket Web and muskanights.com.
