LU33, Sahin Meyer

A long time ago two people were born 800kms and 5 years apart. They learnt to talk, walk, skip, jump and then DJ. Then they met and it was love at first sight. Now that they’re married they had to share everything, so each with only one turntable they couldn’t DJ and in order for them to carry on playing they had to combine the two and thus Sahin Meyer was born.

Sahin Meyer (Linda and Shy Jacobs) have been gaining momentum ever since they decided to drop their old monikers Sweet Sarah & Shy and join in holy matrimony aswell as in DJ and production.They have both being DJing & putting on parties in the same city of Durban South Africa since 1999, but only met 3 years ago, a year later they made a permanent move to London to push their passion for all things deep. Even though they come from completely different backgrounds they share a passion for the deeper end of house and techno.  It wasn’t always that way but none of that matters anymore.

Shy had a dream to play in the football world cup but it was just a dream. They decided to share the dream like everything and make a track called World Cup Of The Future, out of pride for South Africa.  Now, as luck would have it, their World Cup 2010 EP will be out soon (December 2009) on Andre Lodemann & Daniel Best’s highly respected label, Best Works.
