The musical project of UK based musician,<br />

producer, DJ and live performer John Ricketts,<br />

SONAS moves away from his previous<br />

incarnation, into a more diverse musical<br />

world.<br />

With over a decade’s worth of production and<br />

performing experience behind him, SONAS draws in<br />

elements of ambient electronica, as well as more club<br />

orientated sounds.<br />

SONAS uses elements of Ambient and Classical with<br />

techno and progressive house music to create an<br />

emotional and reflective soundtrack. A sound of two<br />

halves, with punchy techno at one end, and delicate,<br />

reflective electronica at the other. Influenced by<br />

Composers such as Christian Henson and Hanz<br />

Zimmer, and his club orientated material having a<br />

sound akin to Jon Hopkins and Max Cooper.<br />

His albums have received praise from fans and<br />

industry peers alike, and his singles have been played<br />

to dancefloors across the UK, europe and beyond.<br />
