While I’ll happily admit techno isn’t my preferred choice of late-night listening, it’s usually the work of Sunil Sharpe who turns my head locally, whether through mixes or sets at festivals like last year’s Castlepalooza.
Sharpe’s reputation while long-established seems to have received an extra boost of late. He’s been performing around Europe for a while now but he’s really starting to get the recognition for his abilities in the genre, through Boiler Room features and old-fashioned perseverance.
For his latest mix for Resident Advisor, you can really hear his experienced mastery at work.
