Since releasing his first 12-inch in 2005 Shonky has cultivated a signature sound, a style all of his own that has been part of his continuing success. He is one of the key exponents from his hometown Paris, helping to re establish the city’s prominence on the global stage alongside his Apollonia co-dees, Dan Ghenacia and Dyed Soundorom. Shonky has traversed the globe, delivering his brand of groovy, techy house to club and festival audiences from Miami to Moscow and everywhere in between. Parallel to his DJ endeavours, he has been constantly refining his production skills delivering a stream of classic releases on labels such as Freak N’Chic, mobile, Contexterrior, Real Tone and his own Apollonia outlet.

A dedicated clubber since his teens, Shonky’s made his first real steps into the world of underground DJing at the infamous Batofar afterhours party in Paris. It was there he discovered a passion for the sounds of nineties San Francisco house, which was being played by resident Dan Ghenacia. The two eventually became friends, sparking a long-lasting relationship which has been the catalyst behind their Apollonia project 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,” he says. This effortless ability is evident on early EPs such as ‘Olympia’ (Freak n’Chic), or his massive remix of Danton Eeprom’s ‘All I Can Say’. In 2008 Shonky released his debut full length album ‘Time Zero’, a 10-track LP full of hypnotic cosmic jams.

With years of knowledge and experience behind him Shonky is a master of his craft, possessing an abundance of talent both on the decks and in the studio. Infectious energy emanates from everything he touches, and his enthusiasm for music never wanes. Naturally talented, hard working and a genuinely nice guy, Shonky remains one of Paris’ finest exports…
