DJ Sharkey (born Jonathan Kneath[2] on 25 July 1974) is a British record producer, disc jockey and rapper.

In 1995, he moved into music production, teaming up with DJ Hixxy to release the track "Toy Town", which proved one of the most significant signature tunes of the UK's happy hardcore style in the 1990s.

[9][10] In 2001, Sharkey made his first appearance on the Eurodance compilation Dancemania series, at Speed 6, along with Hixxy.

He completed a final tour, playing in various countries around the world,[5] and then reportedly retired in September 2011.
