I've been spinning wax since 1995, turning what started out as a hobby into a career of solid shows and high-profile gigs.
I've performed across Canada, opening for a variety of artists such as The Crystal Method, Uberzone, David Usher, My Brilliant Beast, Methodology and Audio Playground High & Wide, as well as playing at industry events like the Toronto International Film Festival and the Reel Asian Film Festival. I was also a semi-finalist in the premier North by North East DJ Competition held in Toronto, a guest dj on internet radio show Focus (on Beats.to) and played sets at many Toronto night spots such as the Kool Haus, the Docks, Revival, The El Mocambo, NASA Dance Pub, Labrynth, the Blue Moon, The Savoy, Concorde and Area 51.
I spin a varied mix of breaks and house, criss-crossing moods from funky to techy, deep 'n soulful to full-on bangers. However, my personal musical tastes are quite varied, allowing me to tailor most of my sets to any crowd. Whether it's old school hip hop, vintage funk, blunted down tempo or the occasional drum and bass, I can probably pull it out of my crates, making each set a unique experience.
This MySpace site will be used to start featuring some of my production work and original tracks, so stay tuned!
I can be found spinning around the Toronto area at various locations. Check www.djshagz.com for info on where I'll be spinning next!

WOW, what a classic!! New french producers craft this amazing soul track featuring mixes from Stereo Mutants & Keith Thompson.
Rebound is a beautifully crafted house track that oozes soul in all it’s forms, Nassau are Thomas Deschamps & Didier Limonet, with previous releases on Soulfuric and Yellow Productions and their recent remix of Rachel Claudio these guy’s are serious new contenders in the house scene. Krista wrote and perfomed the vocal which compliments the production perfectly... To finish off the package the Stereo Mutants turn in 2 mixes for those deeper dancefloor moments and Keith Thompson gets to turn in a special little mix too….
Thanks 4 The Support. Staying Alive. Best Regards . Didier Limonet Member of Nassau.
