Shonky
Shonky is a Parisian house DJ and producer who got his start at the influential Batofar after-hours parties in Paris, where resident DJ Dan Ghenacia introduced him to 1990s San Francisco house that shaped his hypnotic, hard-grooving sound. Since relocating to Berlin in 2009, he has been a regular guest at Panorama Bar, and he performs in the acclaimed back-to-back-to-back format alongside Dan Ghenacia and Dyed Soundorom as part of Apollonia, sets that often stretch five to twelve hours and have made the trio among the most sought-after DJ groups internationally. Shonky's club and festival dates have spanned venues from Rex Club in Paris and fabric in London to Club der Visionaere in Berlin and Gipsy in Moscow. He released his debut album, Time Zero, in 2008 on Freak n'Chic, and returned fifteen years later with On the Run, an eight-track house record. His catalogue also runs through Mobilee, Crosstown Rebels and his own label, Apollonia, co-founded with Ghenacia and Soundorom in 2012, cementing his role in reestablishing Paris as a global house music destination.
