"Biography" Dec 2007






Homey Sapien was first started in 1987 with producers Lydian Tone and Von shock.


This is when their first album was created, "Planeta Samba" which was released independently way ahead of its time.


After this, Von Shock continued to spend his time working on films as an actor until 1994.


It was then that he created the acoustic group, "Sapien" with members Tony and Django Porter, and went on to record dark flamenco acoustic tracks.


It was through these tracks that Von Shock met the english remix group, "Rockers Hi-Fi" that agreed to take on the job of remixing three of these songs on their label, "Different Drummer".


Later, these tracks were released by the labels ; WEA Germany, Quango records, Island records and Compost Records, from Germany.


Also in America, Von Shock had some of the same tracks remixed by Scottish producer Frankie-o during a trip to LA.


The same tracks that were remixed by the Rockers Hi-Fi, were later re-remixed by "Kruder and Dorfmeister" from Austria, on the K-7 Record label.


In 1996 Von Shock met song writer Jeeve Doucornet and they went on to create the group "Sapien".


With Jeeve Doucornet, Christine Perone and Von Shock on vocals, they went on to record many songs for "Sound Image Publishing".


Later down the line, Von Shock and Jeeve parted from Christine Perone to create dance tracks, but were still under the name Sapien, but this time to be released under "Pterodactyl Records" Von Shock's own label.


They continued to write many songs together which were released on labels; Destiny Music, Phatt Phunk Records and Mixology Recordings, Whilst being managed by Matt Strietel of "I.C.U.Records", Munich.


Von Shock and Jeeve went on to meet with Pen Music Group, which placed many of their songs on TV shows and movies.


Von shock and Jeeve also remixed songs for the popular artists; Marylin Manson, Village People, Engelbert Humpadink, Dave Spillany and many more.


They then went on to create a more down tempo project called "Orions Nebula" and also worked with british label, "Neo Records"


Jeeve's career took off and he became a very busy producer for many great artists whilst Von Shock exploded onto the DJ scene, quickly becoming one of the worlds most talked about electronic DJs, travelling all around the world, playing the biggest venues, festivals and Dance Clubs, regularly appearing alongside huge names such as; DJs Carl Cox, Paul Okenfold, Timo Mass and Dave Ralf.


Von Shock has also been part of the Love parade and festivals in Germany, Ibiza and the "Miami Music Conference" for the last 20 years.


At the moment, Von Shock is working with song writer/producer, Guiermo Pascual"NoArt", an extremely established song writer from Spain and is also working with many great vocalists including the Latin Froz, Clark Souter and Ali Z.


Von Shock is currently being managed by DJ Booking agent Torten Jurk of "Beatkraft".
