Shtikman
Shtikman (real name Benny Goh) is a Malaysian DJ based in Kuala Lumpur and part of local music collective Public School. He is a resident at fono - a listening room and creative space in the heart of the city - where he has been co-running a monthly electronic night called Resonance since 2017.
While he is mainly known for playing experimental dance and mutant club sounds, he draws inspiration from a lifetime of intense audio curiosity covering a massive tent of music. Having lived, breathed, and experienced many major phases of music - from 90's hip-hop, trip-hop, post-rock, dubstep, techno to everything else in between - Shtikman's music knowledge runs deep and diverse.
It is this distinctive quality that brings a unique perspective to his DJ sets. His selections frequently swing from one vibe to the next, bridging gaps between disparate styles and sensibilities but always maintaining a sense of fun and discovery.
Shtikman has shared the lineup and supported a number of notable artists such as RONI (Nehza Records, France), Laksa (re:lax, United Kingdom) and Denham Audio. Outside of his home city, he has played at several prominent locations in Singapore such as Good Times at Blu Jaz Cafe, Offtrack and Cherry Discotheque. He also recently recorded an ambient mix at Oiran in Shibuya, Tokyo which was broadcast on internet radio platform Tsubaki FM.
