MC Sharkey

Jon Sharkey is one of the most established and recognised names in the Hardcore scene. The legendary, jack of all trades has tried his hand at everything; starting in the early days of rave in ‘93 as an MC at the Rhythm Station for DJ Druid, where he won countless awards for MC of the year, before moving on to production and Djing, co-producing ‘Toytown’, one of the biggest anthems of the era on Essential Platinum. More recently he has been instrumental in moulding the future of hardcore and freeform, with artists such as K Complex, AMS and Arkitech some of those who have evolved through Sharkey’s studio and tuition. His focus on guiding the talented bright lights and tirelessly harnessing the raw talent of upcoming production engineers is regarded as essential by Sharkey in ensuring the evolution of the hardcore scene.

He is the only UK hardcore artist to have found success in all aspects of the genre,   whether that be on microphone, in the studio, as engineer or as DJ. Jon’s achievements in these areas place him as the most prolific hardcore innovator of all time; only a select few can boast having had their hardcore tunes played on Radio One by John Peel. With his forward thinking artist album waiting in the wings alongside the exciting Kaotik project and yet more appearances and tours overseas, this is a reputation that continues to be enhanced
