20 artists who will make your year in 2017
Here's who will guide you through the next 12 months
10 DJ Sonikku
His music might be crafted using a Sega Mega Drive but that doesn’t mean that DJ Sonikku’s sound is dated, far from it. Although his sounds are inherently retro, Tony Dodson’s lo-fi, pina colada-drenched beats really impressed us in 2016. Taking influence from classic video games like Sonic The Hedgehog and Streets of Rage, Sonikku is is one-of-a-kind.Having found a home with the Lobster Theremin family, last year he released two EPs, both nods to Italo house and 8-bit pleasures of times gone by. The ‘All My Friends’ EP was his jewel in the crown and featured three joyous dancefloor cuts guaranteed to fill floors and to raise eyebrows. As far as 2017 is concerned you can expect a lot more music from the Midlands-born producer and with that, more tracks to dance with your pals to. Funster
