Shagspeare

Shagspeare has been spinning in clubs and festivals throughout the country and abroad for more than ten years. For a while he’d described his style as Urban-Funky-Fucked-Up-Housy-Disco-Sounds. He has shifted from this eclectic mix into pure house music with influences from everywhere since 2007. In general his sound can be described as lively, recognisable and accessible dance music with a naughty twist of course, just like his poetic deejay name implies.

At Shagspeare’s first residency The Challenge, he took care of the programming and promotion of the club. Soon Shagspeare performed at the exclusive Amsterdam night clubs such as RoXY, Escape, Sinners, Panama, Paradiso and Melkweg. In recent years he performed at Mystery Land, Sensation, Extrema and Solar Festival amongst others. He has become one of the regular DJs at well-known Dutch party concepts such as Sneakerz and Beatbox where his name has prominently been displayed between his colleagues Erick E, Laidback Luke, Jaziah, Fedde le Grand, The Flexican, Sidney Samson and Funkerman.

Shagspeare was one of the formation ‘Gelazer!’ (Load of Trouble!) together with dj Billy the Klit and MC Lady Bee until the beginning of 2007. In 2009 ‘Gelazer’ goes from strength to strength with Shagspeare and Lady Bee.
