Sunil Sharpe is a well-known figure in the dance music scene, with hundreds of gigs from the early 2000s and all over the world under his belt. In addition to his relentless work to support techno, Sunil has been supporting the nightlife of his country Ireland with the campaign Give Us The Night that aims to promote culture and nightlife by discussing the need for night licenses and venues with the government.

What makes Sunil an icon for many is not only his unique style - vinyl-only, fast-paced and using the pitch control exclusively to change tempos -, but also his relentless work in improving his skills, his loyalty to the grassroots of the scene and the contribution to the latter. In the last decade, Sunil has also been doing interviews with other DJs, running his label Earwiggle and teaching djing to young talents in Dublin.

In this chat - which is more extensive than usual - we take the time to discover Sunil’s origins, his inspiration and his path. The conversation and his experience remind us that we should not expect everything to happen overnight and how djing is comparable to... martial arts: there is no such thing as perfection and there is always room for improvement.
