In Session: Sharda

Sharda is one of the (Danny Dyer voice) naughtiest DJs on the UK circuit.

He makes club music that sounds like 90s Todd Edwards and 90s Grant Nelson banging Haribo Tangfastics on the way to Niche in 2004. And the boy wonder can mix it as well as they can, as evidenced by this heavyweight In Session that blends Sharda’s love of melody and speed with the finesse of a true great.

The mix is a victory lap following the release of Sharda’s incendiary ‘Champagne Circuits’ EP, which revs from a tidy 127bpm all the way through to a scream-if-you-wanna-go-faster 170bpm. It’s music that’ll make you want to break the speed limit; tracks that bang harder than funfair waltzers on a humid summer night. Pass the Lambrini will ya?

Sharda, real name unknown, was always destined for sticky dancefloors and strobe lights. Speed garage and too many sessions of Ridge Racer in the arcades of his Leicester hometown informed his moves in the studio, with releases starting to drift onto SoundCloud midway through the last decade. Overlooked back then by only the most tenacious of speed freaks, Sharda has slowly but surely become a bastion of rocket-fuelled, UK-centric dance music and the word is spreading. No fucks given, no holds barred.

Given the velocity of Sharda’s In Session it’s no wonder that the Dom-sippin’ Don is aligned with ruckus-causing labels like Local Action, Coil, Kiwi and Swing Ting. Get high, play this loud and never come down.
