Snareophobe (Chris Munky) is a forward thinking music producer & DJ with a reputation as an act that never fails to blow up a crowd with high energy live sets. Taking influences from Jungle, Hiphop, Garage, Breakbeat, Dubstep and Drum & Bass, mixing up heavyweight bass lines, scratching, samples, loops, FX and mashing up tracks over 4 channels. Hosting & mc’ing on his own sets, Snareophobe is often joined on stage by Dub Fx, Eva Lazarus, Lil Rhys & Mr Woodnote. Beatboxing, singing, rapping & live sax ; layers of twisted electronic music and vocal effects come as standard!

In 2013, collaborations and remixes with Ill-Esha, Datsik, Ill Gates and Dub Mafia will be released imminently. Currently in the hills of Melbourne, Australia, he’s working on a new Snareophobe Ep, the forthcoming Dub Fx album and planning a US summer tour.
The debut self titled album was made in collaboration with Pete Fibre and releases have dropped on Functional Records, Ape Music and Dub Fx’s label Convoy UnLtd with support from the likes of Bassnectar, 6Blocc, Calvertron & Freq Nasty.
