We are thrilled to welcome Sonja Moonear to Tengu for her long overdue return to Dublin! With a career spanning over two decades as a DJ and producer with a reputation for discerning record selection and a flair for funky leaning techno and trippy house, Sonja Moonear is a pioneer in her field. The Swiss native cut her teeth in the Geneva squat scene of the mid 90s before becoming a resident at Weetamix, the city’s key club for the subsequent blossoming days of electronic culture. She rapidly connected with theminimal scene that led to becoming a mainstay on the Perlon imprint. Following multiple collaborations and playing at clubs and festivals worldwide, she made her mark on the scene and restarted the vinyl-only imprint Ruta5. From this, she started organising parties, from the late Kiss me! Festival to Cabaret fantastique. As a collector and DJ, her spiritual home is Club Der Visionaere the institution founded by Zip and Ricardo Villalobos. Sonja continually pushes the envelope of her own rhythmic, versatile and unprecedented style that takes in a broad cross-section of house, techno and minimal.
