When choosing a name for your production alter ego it can be fun to take the piss. The playfulness of a good moniker is suited to a music as carefree as its characters, perhaps nowhere more so than within the world of electronic music. 2 Phat Cunts was a one-time pseudonym adopted by BT and Sasha for a late nineties breakbeat collab called “Ride,” while Mancunians Ben Davis, Dick Johnson and Kiwi house DJ Soane flew under the Troughman banner (it referred to a certain eccentric who liked to lay in wait in the city’s club urinals for someone to water him) for the track “La Sourcier.” French DJ and producer Shonky has been active for about four years, so carrying on the personality of one who is “of slightly dubious quality or performance” is somewhat of a brave move, especially if some of your output lives up to your namesake.
