too as DJ Mag exclaims the following which only confirms his ability to rock
the dancefloor in any part of the world:
“...At Shine, the SAW
recordings party is going off in the main room, but it's an unsung hero in the
shape of DJ Sonny, a resident at Zouk in Singapore, who manages to pack out the
Shelbourne bar with his expertly crafted electro'd-up beats...' excerpts from
DJ Mag, issue 10-23 May 2006”
Back home at Zouk, he anchors
his monthly signature YOU nights, playing a unique blend of electro-ish house
with forward-thinking techy and miminal sounds. Set to headline one of 2006's
global massive event in September - DJ Mag's top 100 poll party (2006/7) which
is to be held at Zouk for the very first time, it is no surprise why he has won
new fans each month with a massive turnout for his You nights.

single (with New Zealand producer Team Brooklyn) titled “ Day 3” , which also includes
his solo remix as a 2nd version and another remix by Zimbardo (Distraekt Recs/
