Biography
Starting out making club tracks on a Casio at age 6, stealing a Moog from his highschool science room and then featured on 12”s in the US at age 16 ? Shazam is presently dazzling clubs everywhere both in person and via recorded audio format.
Known for always bringing something fresh to the table, Shazam is a producer making tracks for dancefloors rather than blogs or magazine launches - a very welcome change from the flood of art-student laptop-house that has overrun charts, clubs and car radios at traffic lights. His early days spent marinating in electro-funk and deep house are well translated into his current output: plush productions that fuse sultry synthetic hooks with rampant levels of bounce. A serial devotee to substance and a vibe, a Shazam outing is more than likely to be a breezy, filtered affair; an undercurrent of locked-in throb set nicely against the frothing overtones of ecstatic keys (nb: ecstatic, not euphoric). It's also worth noting that he everything keeps moving; the man knows how to inject the right amount of bump into a track without getting caught up in the all too prominent contest of who can bang the hardest and chop the most crooked.
