Bored with all these wack DJ's? Tired of seeing laptop heads check email on stage? Can't figure out how many forms of house music there are? Ya ready to stop sleepin' and wanna listen to something different?
Currently a driving member of the SEATTLE BREAKBEAT ASSOCIATION, Shapey
continues to bring the art of turntablism to the world of electronic music.
Known for hip-hop and nu skool breaks, down tempo and D&B,
Shapey's distinct style of DJing is a must see. Striving to
utilize the turntable as an instrument, Shapeshifter represented as a
strong member of the ten-piece funk/improv band, MARMALADE (DIG Records), with a
residency at Tost Lounge in
Fremont for over three years. With mad skills of turntable artistry and
event production under his slipmat, Shapey has helped create the
magic of Fremont's Mardi Gras Masqurade Ball 2005 & 2006, Critical
Mass-Seattle's Burningman Recompression 2004 & 2006, Phoenix Fest 2005,
and produces the 6-year running Gathering of the Ram.
Shapeshifter has played with many of Seattle's premier talent
such as, Freeschool featuring REGGIE WATTS, KEXP'S DAREK MAZZONE,
Wax Orchid recording artist, KJ SAWKA, BLOC Records recording artist, BR8, as well as,
KRS-1, STORM & the BALLS, CHRIS BALLEW, COMMON MARKET, THE REBELZ, MAKTUB,
and rocked such venues as The House of Blues
