SONNY FODERA

Having come up through the ranks at a startling rate, Australian Sonny Fodera is now leading from the front. Over the last couple
of years, the man originally turned on to the dance by Derrick Carter
has fomented his own groove driven, emotive brand of house that now
resonates around the world. Turning heads right from the off were his
compilations on Deep Down and Defected, which found Sonny adding his
remix flair to a bunch of classics, and after that came sophomore effort
After Parties & Aeroplanes. Again a collaborative affair featuring
the likes of Doorly, Gene Farris and Cajmere, it was a more jacking,
sharp-edged treat designed for maximum dance floor impact, but was also
stuffed with unforgettable vocals that agin saw Sonny stepping up his
game.

2016 saw the already influential artist stepping up yet
again, this time by making his brilliant entry into the hallowed
Defected In the House series. His standout contribution is a terrific
three disc affair that is jam packed with his own stellar originals and
remixes as well as some brand new and exclusive material (including
Sonny Fodera ft. Alex Mills – ‘Always Gonna Be,’ Sonny Fodera ft.
Shannon Saunders ‘Over This’ and ‘The Definition’ amongst many others).
Aside from that high impact work, Sonny has also turned out a
consistently excellent string of EPs on labels like Defected, Dirtybird
and Visionquest, as well as remixing Rudimental. Never was he in finer
form that with ‘Let Go’, a collaboration with Cervendos that sat pretty
in the Beatport Deep House Top 10 for no fewer than 12 weeks in 2014,
whilst more recently, his current single with Yasmin, ‘Feelin U’ shot
straight in to the 2nd spot in the Beatport chart, only to be outdone by
a stunning remix of Gershon Jackson on the legendary Strictly Rhythm
label. As such, Sony currently has no fewer than six releases in the
Beatport Deep House Top Ten, proving that he is very much creating the
sounds of now for DJs and dancers everywhere.

As a result, of
course, Sonny is a hugely in demand DJ who started 2016 with a 30 date
tour of the UK, United States and Australia. It was his smooth
technical skills in the booth that first won him the affections of Green
Velvet, and nowadays he weaves his tight, seductive sets featuring all
colours of the house spectrum everywhere from Footwork Toronto to Warung
in Brazil, Cielo in New York City to Pacha, Sankeys, Amnesia DC10 and
in Ibiza as well as We ARE FSTVL and many others.

The future is
just as bright as the past for Sonny, who was born in Adelaide,
Australia, and has lived between there, Ibiza, the USA and the UK since,
though he is currently settled in London. It means he is fully
focussed on the next chapter, which already promises to be a thrilling
one for his fans, with a new album due on Defected ‘Frequently Flying’ ,
as well as more EPs on influential labels like Cajual and Lee Foss’s
highly anticipated new imprint, Repoulate Mars.
