• Listen/buy Sonny Wharton music on Nowtrax

This weekend the big Nowtrax / DJ Magazine party takes place at Club Lotus in Macau and one of the headliners is the UK’s fast rising talent Sonny Wharton.
Nowtrax grabbed a couple of minutes with Sonny ahead of the gig to find out what he’s planning for this gig – and needless to say we found him rather excited…

What are you looking forward to about playing at our party in Macau this weekend?

”I’m looking forward to it for a couple of big reasons to be honest. I’m really stoked to be invited to play an official Nowtrax event. To be literally downloading tracks from their site and then playing them straight out to their home crowd is pretty exciting! Also I absolutely LOVE playing in China – the whole culture there really excites me and I’ve enjoyed it every time I’ve come over. I’m sure it’s gonna be a lot of fun!”

When was the last time you played in Asia and what was the event like?

”I’ve not played China for a while but I was over in Manila a couple of weeks ago which was amazing fun and the crowd was just crazy. I ended up playing 2 sets – one in the main room and then another out on the terrace as the sun came up… definitely one of the gigs of the year for me so far.”

What can people expect from your set?

“Lots of energy is the best way I can describe it, I’ve never really been one to just stand still and let the tune play from start to finish, so expect the unexpected – big beats and grooves served with blood, sweat and tears!”

Any particular tune you are going to be hammering?

“Without sounding like a massive shameful plug I’m gonna be playing a lot of my new bits and my latest single ‘Porn Jaw’ is my current favourite (that definitely sounds slightly wrong doesn’t it?!) and seems to work at the moment for me.”
We can’t wait for Saturday night…
