Knife presents Sunil Sharpe for the 200th podcast in our series.

Sunil Sharpe is one of Europe's most renowned and well-loved techno DJs. Gaining an enviable reputation for his DJing in the early '00s, he was soon inviten to play at Berlin's Tresor Club, marking the start of an intensive involvement in the techno scene. Sunil has played extensively
around Europe at the likes of Berghain, Fabric, Concrete, Sub Club, Glastonbury Festival and much more. He was also DJ of choice on the first two Karenn European tours, the last of which was marked by his now classic Boiler Room set in London.

Known primarily for his fast-moving, skillful style on the decks, Sunil's reputation as a producer of raw, individualistic techno, has grown in tandem with his reputation as a DJ. To date he has appeared on labels such as Works The Long Nights (aka Sheworks), Black Sun Records, Rave Or Die, Trensmat, Mord, Inner Surface Music, Violet Poison and many more. Sunil also recently setup
On The Hoof, a label dedicated specifically to his own productions and collaborations with friends.

Sunil makes up one half of Tinfoil alongside fellow Dublin-based producer DeFeKT. Initially forged as a studio partnership in 2014 (and more recently as a live show), the pair have since racked up an impressive catalogue of 12"s on their own self-titled label. Additionally, Sunil runs the wonderfully erratic Earwiggle imprint that has built a dedicated following, releasing new names and old heroes into the battlefield.

Sunil's application to techno and the scene in general, pushes far beyond the standard
DJ/producer mould. Enjoying a long stint in pirate radio from his early days of active DJing, Sunil joined national station RTÉ 2fm in 2007, where he has since offered up a monthly mix of new music. The show has also been characterized by in-depth interviews with the likes of Jeff Mills, Surgeon, Blawan and many others.

Sunil has also devised a new format for playing/reviewing new music in "The Quarterly Crate". Now in its third year, the hugely informative video series supplies a special insight into his most recent vinyl acquisitions.

Premiere: Forbidden Teachings se complace en dar la bienvenida al artista italiano Nigh/T\mare con el lanzamiento de su primer álbum de larga duración en el sello.

A lo largo de diez piezas cuidadosamente elaboradas, «Through» canaliza el sonido singular del artista, un sonido que resuena hasta los huesos y despierta lo que yace dormido en nuestro interior.

A través del dolor y la desesperación, a través del amor y la esperanza, el álbum se convierte en un tránsito por la impermanencia misma, revelando el frágil velo que nos ata y nos define. ¿Puede el alma liberarse alguna vez, o estamos destinados a permanecer moldeados por estas fuerzas cambiantes?

“Through” no ofrece respuestas, solo un espejo para quienes estén dispuestos a mirarse.

Escucha exclusivamente “Arise” de Nigh/T\mare solo en @knifearg SoundCloud.

Lanzamiento el 8 de diciembre de 2025. Lea más y ordene en: https://forbiddenteachings.bandcamp.com/album/through

Premiere: Forbidden Teachings is honoured to welcome back Italian artist Nigh/T\mare for the release of his first full-length album on the label.

Across ten carefully crafted pieces, “Through” channels the artist’s singular sound, one that resonates through the bones and awakens what lies dormant within.

Through pain and despair, through love and hope, the album becomes a passage through impermanence itself, revealing the fragile veil that both binds and defines us. Can the soul ever truly break free, or are we destined to remain shaped by these shifting forces?

“Through” offers no answers, only a mirror for those willing to look.

For Podcast number 202, Knife presents Inyoung Son, an art university graduate, initially pursued menswear design before relocating to Japan to immerse himself in photography.
His artistic practice subsequently expanded into music, evolving into a multidisciplinary identity rooted in sound and visual expression.

For him, music constitutes an integrated form of expression, seamlessly blending auditory and visual experiences.

He has released mix sets on esteemed platforms such as HÖR, Brutal Forms, and delivered impactful DJ sets for collectives in Korea, Japan, and Berlin.
