Deep Blue is excited to host a rare and intimate show with Shonky up close and personal on the Void sound system of Monarch. The last time Shonky played in SF was about 3 years ago. Since then Shonky is one of our most favorite producers from Paris. We have been playing his tracks since 2007 and they are soooo good. He produces hit after hit on amazing labels like Freak N Chic, Crosstown Rebels, Defected, Mobilee, CR2, Apollonia and the list goes on and on. His productions are techy with a housey groove and just enough melody to make it interesting and different from everything else you have been hearing. Just listen to some of the mixes above and you will see what we are raving about. Shonky recently joined forces with Dan Ghenacia and Dyed Soundorom to form Apollonia, a record label and a trio DJ group. Apollonia has been invited to play at all the top events and festivals around the globe... Sonar, WMC, BPM, ADE, Circoloco events, TimeWarp and more.
SHONKY BIO:
The ex-mathematician, with the mysterious moniker – Shonky has carved out a signature sound amongst an overcrowded musical landscape, and is now on the cusp of a new era with the launch of coveted imprint and DJ outfit, Apollonia.
Swapping a maths degree for a pair of decks, Shonky admits at first he had no idea what to do with them. A dedicated clubber since his teens, his first real inception into the underground scene as a DJ came at the infamous Batofar afterhours in Paris. It was here he discovered a passion for the sounds of 90’s San Francisco house being played by then resident Dan Ghenacia, and it was the start of a long-lasting friendship between the pair, along with fellow Parisian Dyed Soundorom.
Ghenacia recognised Shonky’s gift for production early on, “he’s a natural talent, I know when he does something it’s going to be perfect,” like his early EP on Freak n’Chic ‘Olympia’, or his massive remix of Danton Eeprom’s ‘All I Can Say’. In 2008 he released his full length album ‘Time Zone’, while hit tracks ‘Coco Feel & Love Shonk’ and ‘Roudor & Capulet’ marked a musical crossroads in his passage towards a new sound – one that revealed sonically groovier house dimensions infused with hypnotic vocals. A couple of highly productive years passed with EP’s on Crosstown Rebels, Contexterrior, Culprit and Real Tone, in particular ‘Le Velour’ became a Shonky classic that was later re-released as a remix package including Mr. Fingers, Delano Smith and The Martinez Brothers.
Having already played around the world at the likes of Rex Club Paris, Space Ibiza, ARMA17 Moscow, Louche Leeds and Club Der Visionaere Berlin, plus being a regular guest at one of his favourite clubs Panorama Bar, he is now even more hotly in demand as part of recently formed DJ outfit Apollonia. A venture with Dan Ghenacia and Dyed Soundorom, the trio play one vinyl each back-to-back for special extended sets of five hours or more, hosting showcases at DC10 Ibiza, Fabric London, Movement Torino and BPM Festival Mexico 2013 to name but a few. As a label, Apollonia is on the third release this year, the dreamy debut EP ‘The Minneapolis Touch’ coming from Shonky, and the second a collab with Dan on the summer smash ‘Close To The Edge’. Forthcoming in 2013 is a solo EP from Shonky, plus the first EP featuring the full Apollonia team.
