In an industry where roles often blur and expectations constantly evolve, Sonny Wharton stands out as a figure of clarity, consistency, and creative leadership. A multifaceted force in the electronic music world, Wharton has earned his stripes not only as a DJ and label founder but also as an innovative event organiser who understands how to bring people together around unforgettable musical experiences.
For July 2025, Techno House CDA Magazine is proud to name Sonny Wharton as our Event Organiser of the Month — a recognition of his enduring impact on the global House and Techno community, and a celebration of his unique ability to curate, scale, and sustain some of the scene’s most compelling events.
From the Booth to the Blueprint
Wharton’s journey began behind the decks, with releases on influential labels like Toolroom, Skint, and Size Records, and support from iconic figures such as Carl Cox, Pete Tong, and Fatboy Slim. But while his DJ sets have rocked top venues and festivals worldwide, his contribution to the scene goes well beyond the stage.
In 2009, he launched Whartone Records, a platform dedicated to credible, dancefloor-ready house music. Later, in 2022, he evolved this vision by creating Strength In Numbers — not just a label, but a community-first movement designed to spotlight emerging talent and foster deeper connections in the electronic music world.
This dual perspective — as an artist and organiser — gives Wharton a rare advantage: he knows what makes a set work and what makes an event resonate.
Building Experiences, Not Just Events
What sets Wharton apart as an event organiser is his intentional, artist-first approach to curation. Whether he’s programming a stage, building a label showcase, or collaborating on global festival takeovers, his events consistently offer something deeper than a typical night out: a full-spectrum experience.
His productions are grounded in long-term thinking — balancing cutting-edge talent with seasoned names, underground ethos with wide-reaching appeal. It’s this balance that allows his events to hit that rare sweet spot between community and professionalism, underground soul and global scale.
With a strong network built across years of touring and talent development, Wharton brings both logistical precision and intuitive musicality to every event he touches.
