Bio

Berlin-rooted and now Bangkok-based, Shir Khan brings three decades of DJ experience, label work and musical instinct to the booth.

A selector in the truest sense, his career has always been defined less by genre and more by taste, timing and a deep connection to dancefloor culture.

Since launching Exploited Records in 2007, he has built a reputation as a label founder and tastemaker with a sharp ear for artists before they break through, releasing music that sits outside short-lived trends and closer to lasting club identity. His sets move freely through house, disco, indie dance, breaks, electro and leftfield club music, blending classics, overlooked gems and future-facing records into a journey that feels both spontaneous and carefully shaped.

Before relocating to Bangkok, Shir Khan spent many years as an active part of Berlin's electronic music scene, including his weekly radio show on Radio Fritz. Today, he continues that curatorial thread through his monthly World On A Wire show on Bangkok Community Radio, connecting scenes, discovering new talent and championing independent electronic music.

In Thailand, he has played several editions of Wonderfruit alongside events including Transport, Fly To The Moon and Kolour. International appearances include Fabric London, Watergate Berlin, Chinois Ibiza, Nitsa Barcelona, Social Club Paris, Hive Zurich and D-EDGE São Paulo.

Expect a set full of knowledge, groove and unexpected turns. Music for dancers, diggers and anyone who likes a room to open up record by record.
