About Me

..
Sona Shine got involved in music by producing electronic music shows, “Altribe: The Tribe That Dances to The Digital Prophecy” and “Happysouls Techno Farm” at Açik Radio since 2001. In the winter of 2004 she started dj’ing disco, old school house, breakbeat and electro tunes in small clubs and parties. She was a resident dj of Dogzstar for a year. With a broad taste of music ranging from rock to jazz, hip-hop to funk&soul, Sona had already had her share of Goatrance as a music explorer. After being totally eclipsed by the 2006 Soulclipse festival, she made her move towards psychedelic trance and started spinning full-on psytrance in the first place.
Besides venues such as Dogzstar, Auf, Dirty, Saklikent, Karga and Studio Live, she performed in various small and large scale outdoor festivals, like Rock’n Coke, 2006 Turkey and Rhythms of Peace, 2006 Morocco. She has performed among artists such as Astral Projection, Guy Salama, Atomic Pulse, Atmos, Bizarre Contact, Bliss, Electro Sun, Fatali, Mekkanika, Naked Tourist, Menog, Space Tribe and more...
Always willing to discover more in music, Sona is focussed on Nightpsy lately. Always playing tracks that make her dance in joy, she wishes to rip your mind and put it in your heart... She kicks hard, yet with mercy :)
Sona 2001 yilindan itibaren Açik Radyo’da yaptigi “Altribe” ve “Mutlucanlar Tekno Çiftligi” adli elektronik müzik programlari ile müzige adim atti. 2004 kisinda kulüp ve partilerde old school house, disco, electro ve breakbeat çalmaya basladi, bir yil boyunca Dogzstar’da resident dj olarak yeraldi. Müzik zevki rock’tan caz’a, hip-hop’tan funk ve soul’a genis bir eksende uzanan Sona Shine önceleri dinleyici olarak goatrance ile tanismis olsa da psytrance’in gücü ve pozitif yasam enerjisiyle somut olarak 2006 Soulclipse festivalinde karsilastiktan kisa süre sonra tamamen bu müzige yöneldi ve ilk olarak full-on psytrance çalmaya basladi.
Dogzstar, Auf, Dirty, Saklikent, Karga, Studio Live gibi mekânlarin yani sira birçok açik hava partisinde ve Türkiye’de Rock’n Coke, yurtdisinda Rhythms of Peace (2006 Fas) gibi büyük festivallerde çalan Sona Shine Astral Projection, Guy Salama, Atomic Pulse, Atmos, Bizarre Contact, Bliss, Electro Sun, Fatali, Mekkanika, Naked Tourist, Menog, Space Tribe ve daha birçok önemli sanatçiyla ayni sahneyi paylasti.
Müzikte arayisini herzaman sürdüren Sona Shine son dönemde nightpsy müzige odaklanmis durumda. Herzaman kendi de dansetmeyi sevdigi müzikleri çalarken bir an için de olsa dinleyenlerin aklini yerinden çikarip kalplerindeki asil gülümseyen yerine koymayi ve hepbirlikte sadece “simdi”yi paylasmayi diliyor. Sert vuruyor ama acitmiyor :)
