The Shock World Service is a 100 episode collection of painstakingly assembled audio collages of soundtracks, electronic oddness & spoken word.

Started in 2007 by Jon Averill as a way to further explore & expand musical horizons beyond the mainly dance floor-centric music he was playing at the time  &  as an antidote the cheapening of the mixtape format by the glut of .mp3 mixes online with no track listing, no artwork & no real attention to detail applied to them. 

"A provider of collage-heavy, loosely hauntological soundscapes" – Fact Mag

"One of the most enlightening and entertaining track lists we’ve ever been sent, nay of all time" – It's Nice That

Koris is an artist of trajectory. Trajectory of sets, which the DJ and producer of Swiss origin knows how to put together like sensitive trips, on the outer borders of contemporary electronic trends. An artist’s trajectory too, as Koris is coming back front stage after exploring other creative fields – contemporary dance, urban happening and event layouts.

Coming back to music as well as returning to being himself. A major figure of the international scene since the early 2000s, he is now letting personal inclinations blossom more than ever in terms of deep house, techno and IDM. The eclecticism of his selections envelops the body as much as the mind: in the connections which link one track to another, emerges an organic space, an invitation to poetry and escape.

Starting point: an adolescence of synthesizers, turntables and samplers, tucked away in the basement of the family home, Koris tried out his ear and technique. He was soon invited to the biggest festivals: Mayday, Energy, Street Parade. A set in San Francisco in front of thousands of people in a disused warehouse, launched a career spanning Europe, the United States, Russia and Japan.

With a commitment to making the pulse serve emotion, Koris favors human dimensions of music, powered at the heart of machines as much as in terms of the imagination.

At a time when a new generation of labels and listeners is allowing a culture, which has long been confined to the night, be brought into the light, Koris wants to defend a techno which is one of sharing. "Today, styles and audiences are combining in new ways. I want to go towards this spontaneity."

An innovative, flexible techno is the trajectory which is already shining its first golden light of tomorrow.
