Sunil Sharpe + Arjun Vagale

Sunil Sharpe is one of Europe's most renowned and well-loved techno DJs. Gaining

an enviable reputation for his DJing in the early '00s, he was soon invited to play at

Berlin's Tresor Club, marking the start of an intensive involvement in the techno

scene. Sunil has played extensively around Europe at the likes of Berghain, Fabric,

Concrete, Sub Club, Glastonbury Festival and much more. He was also DJ of

choice on the first two Karenn European tours, the last of which was marked by his

now classic Boiler Room set in London.

Known primarily for his fast-moving, skillful style on the decks, Sunil's reputation as

a producer of raw, individualistic techno, has grown in tandem with his reputation

as a DJ.

To date he has appeared on labels such as Works The Long Nights (aka

Sheworks), Black Sun Records, Rave Or Die, Trensmat, Mord, Inner Surface Music,

Violet Poison and many more. Sunil also recently setup On The Hoof, a label

dedicated specifically to his own productions and collaborations with friends.

Sunil makes up one half of Tinfoil alongside fellow Dublin-based producer DeFeKT.

Initially forged as a studio partnership in 2014 (and more recently as a live show),

the pair have since racked up an impressive catalogue of 12"s on their own

self-titled label. Additionally, Sunil runs the wonderfully erratic Earwiggle imprint

that has built a dedicated following, releasing new names and old heroes into the

battlefield.

Sunil's application to techno and the scene in general, pushes far beyond the

standard DJ/producer mould. Enjoying a long stint in pirate radio from his early

days of active DJing, Sunil joined national station RTÉ 2fm in 2007, where he has

since offered up a monthly mix of new music. The show has also been

characterized by in-depth interviews with the likes of Jeff Mills, Surgeon, Blawan

and many others.

Sunil has also devised a new format for playing/reviewing new music in "The

Quarterly Crate". Now in its third year, the hugely informative video series supplies

a special insight into his most recent vinyl acquisitions.
