"Relentless, vibed up and potentially massive" - Kris Needs, DMC Update
"..A work of genuis.. there's not a single person who can't get into it.." DJ Mag
Bursting onto the scene in 2006 amidst a flurry of hype, Sharooz's whirlwind debut 'Hell Yeah' became one of the club records of that year, winning the support of the world’s biggest DJs: Roger Sanchez aired it at his Release Yourself party at Space Miami, David Guetta played it to 20,000 people at Sensation White, DJ Dan spun it live on his Essential Mix at the Ultra Festival in Miami, XFM lauded it, Capital FM plauded it, Galaxy FM mashed it up and DMC placed it at no.2 in their Buzz and Cool Cuts Chart. Played numerous times on Radio 1 by Judge Jules and Pete Tong, it appeared on compilations in Germany, France, Spain, Russia, Japan and of course the UK, on Ministry of Sound’s Mash-Up, topping the UK compilation charts and selling over 60,000 units.
Capitalising on this success, Sharooz completed a brace of remixes for a diverse range of labels such as Record Makers, Audacious and Mofo Hifi. In early 2007 Sharooz released the dancefloor devastating 12s" ’The Worm’ on Royal Flush and 'Masterblaster' on Milk & Sugar. During this time his DJ profile began to rise, performing at world class venues alongside such luminaries as Pete Tong, Marshall Jefferson, Jody Wisternoff and even Shaun Ryder. With the release of much-vaunted 4th single 'The Knock' also on Rotor Recordings, the gig offers increased, with shows as far afield as Serbia, Switzerland, Russia, Spain, Sweden, USA and France. Sharooz rounded off the year with potent floorfiller ’My Distressor’ on Mofo Hifi - garnering support from the likes of Mason and DJ Dan.
2008 was a busy year with Sharooz receiving Remix Magazine's Product of the Year award for his production of the Sample Magic sample disc ’Electro-House’ and the release of ’Sextitude’ on DJ Dan’s Instereo imprint with remixes from the hotly tipped Ed Kane and Phonat. Awarded Kiss FM's 'One For The Weekend', and supported by the likes D.Ramirez, Malente and Will Bailey, it eventually charted at no.29 on Beatport. June marked Sharooz's first foray into major label remix territory with a big-room dub of Craig David's 'Hot Stuff' on Warner Brothers. In November, Sharooz scored one of the year's biggest selling dance downloads with 'Get Off' on Miles Dyson's Plasmapool label. Supported by the likes of 2 Many DJs, Moby, Mylo, Erol Alkan, Boys Noize, Kissy Sell Out, Dada Life, BBC Radio 1, Virgin, Galaxy and Kiss FM it peaked at no.6 on the Beatport charts, remaining in the top 10 for over 6 weeks and also taking the no.1 slot on Trackitdown for over 2 months.
2009 has been another sterling year, with 2 successive US tours completed, a 4 page feature in Future Music magazine and remixes for Dylan Rhymes, Hardcore Uproar's classic 'Together' and a collaboration with Kelevra and MC Flipside on PBR Recordings. 8th single 'Adrenalize' on Mofo Hifi was released in August, winning the support of Fake Blood, Steve Aoki, Adam Freeland, Grum and may more. With a slew of remixes and original productions due for release in the fall, Sharooz continues to break new ground and further cement his name in the underground dance music hierarchy.
