Trushmix 50: DJ Sotofett

It all starts with the sea, a grandson of a sailor and guitarist, Sonny Rooney has used inspirations of his grandfathers tales of the rugged oceans to his multi-instrumental inspirations. Harnessing these moments into the social age we find ourselves sitting in today it has forced Rooney to look into an all hands on approach which he undertakes into his productions, his DJ sets and his all round musical intake. It is with this thought comes his guise Pinky Perzelle. With his excellent debut release about to drop "No Games", a release dubbed: "a true labour of love and an ode to his total passion and dedication to multi instrumental record creation without compromise" we can honestly say that the Sky is the limit for Pinky Perzelle. A long time friend of the shop it was only right we bring in the release with Sonny and ask him to drop a mix for our friends and family series. We had a quick chat with Sonny about the mix and the inspiration behind his forthcoming debut:

< "Dean Chew is setting the standards in Singapore" - Gilles Peterson >

Earning praises from a worldwide range of selectors that include the likes of Dam-Funk, Tama Sumo, San-Soda, Mike Huckaby, Jamie XX and 2562, Dean aka the Funk Bast*rd (one half of the Cosa nostra duo and co-founder of Singapore-based label Darker Than Wax) has been tirelessly pushing and promoting an alternative expression of leftfield music through his widely eclectic and genre-bending sets. Being the main A+R and creative mastermind behind DTW, the label has flourished tremendously over  the past 5 years, cementing its place as one of the go-to labels out of South East Asia.

His musical selection, which traverses between a huge variety of musical genres like deep jazz, soul, funk, boogie, brazilian grooves, house, techno, breaks, hip hop and bass numbers have left many indelible marks on the dancefloors.

It’s no surprise then that he has played alongside some of the world’s finest like Gilles Peterson, Benji B, Kyle Hall, Lefto, Recloose, Gerd Janson, Basic Soul Unit, Linkwood, Norman Jay, Souleance, Pearson Sound, Krystal Klear, Tiger and Woods, Mike Huckaby, Seven Davis Jnr and most notably, warmed up for Dj Ez, Fourtet and Dam Funk.
His sets have also taken him around the world, playing most recently at Dimensions Festival in Croatia, various cities in Europe, Asia, and Brazil. In 2016, Funk B was also invited on BBC 1XTRA, Rinse RM, Radar Radio, and swung through the legendary Brownswood basement of Gilles Peterson with a 2-hour exclusive Worldwide FM mix. He is also a regular presenter on Gilles' Worldwide Fm, transmitting good vibes every 3rd Tuesday of the month.

Dean Chew always has something in the box that surprises. Just open those ears.
