SHIR KHAN (Exploited / Berlin) XLR8R: "SHIR KHAN is one of Berlin's hardest working and most entertaining DJs in any of the dozen genres he plays in." BPM: "If you enjoy the montage of sounds coming from DJs like Optimo, Glimmers and 2Many Djs, Berlin's DJ Shir Khan will treat you right. Shir Khan's repertoire spans an impressive amount of space." PITCHFORKMEDIA: " It's like everything good that's happening in dance culture right this second." WORD! After the critically acclaimed release of his double-mix CD MAXIMIZE! in 2007 SHIR KHAN has been busy touring Australia, Brazil (as support for LCD Soundsystem), Canada (as support für MSTRKFT), UK, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, Russia, Ukraine and so forth, hitting top venues such as FABRIC in London, NITSA in Barcelona, I LOVE NEON in Montreal or RIO and PICKNICK in Berlin just to name a few.
