RØRING

DJ, producer, label maker - Sharam Jey from Cologne, Germany, is a real allrounder. As a true lover of music and artist he uses any chance he gets to bring his music closer to clubbers all around the world.

Sharam Jeys roots may be in soul music but he gained stage experience as a singer for a rockband. At the same time his Dj´ing skills became hugely popular on the party scene and among his friends. His Dj´ing started out as a part-time gig but soon turned into a passion when Sharam discovered his love for house&techno in the early 90s and from then on he played nothing but dance music.

Today, 10 years later, his name has become an international synonym for pumping Electrohouse music that just can´t be categorized. Uplifting Funky sounds? Grooving minimal tracks? Breax? Narrow, departmental thinking is definitely not Sharam´s thing. He is only interested in the quality of the tracks and if they can rock the dance floor. Especially in the UK, Sharam is an immensely popular DJ. But not only that! His calendar is fully booked with regular gigs all over the world.

As a DJ he soon learned which tracks are guaranteed to really set the dance floor on fire. This knowledge resulted in the first remixes and other own productions in the mid-90´s which were very well received by both clubbers and critics.

After his remix of Café Del Mar´s "Energy 52" was voted "Best Dance Track Of All Time" (Mixmag), Sharam went on to remix the likes of Moby, Mylo, Faith No More, Faithless, Salt ´N´Peppa, Warren G. and loads more. This is in addition to over 50 own releases on labels like Underwater Records Hooj Choons, Airtight, Four Twenty, Ink records and many more.

 

Releases on well-known labels like these are an honour in themselves but Sharam didn't stop there. In early 2001 he decided to create his own platform for his music - King Kong Records. His motto is: No compromises! With his own label, Sharam Jey can finally realize all his ideas and dreams - from sound to art work right thru to packaging. The label is now well established and successful.

After all those releases in years, finally his debut artist album "4 Da Loverz" was released worldwide on Underwater Records in 2005. It raised amazing critics and even got him on the cover of famous DJ Mag. That same year a successful compilation "Episode 04" with Darren Emerson, head of Underwater Records, was published.

End of 2006 two strong compilation releases were issued and confirmed Sharam Jey as a hot and demanded dj and artist. First up was the release of the second part of the Afterdark series by Stealth Records. And secondly a compilation was issued to accompany his Australia tour called Kink Vol. 2 out on EMI Australia/Ministry Of Sound.
