Shift



Dj Name: Shift
Contact: djshift@hotmail.com
Genre: Bass Heavy House and Breaks, Electro
Affiliations: Needle Clothing, 5th Element, Kinetik

How long have you been spinning?
-5 years

What originally hooked you into the dj scene?
-I originally started off spinning hip-hop with some friends from high school and was later inspired to play house and breaks by the Stevens brothers (Nemesis and Chase) who lived up the street from me in my hometown. Music has always been a big part of my life and this seemed to be a good way to share it with others.

What type of music do you specialize in?
-I've been know to play everything from progressive house to nu skool breaks and speed garage, and everything in between, the common link being the huge basslines found in almost every track I own. More specifically house with a nu skool vibe and dirty electro.

Most treasured record and why?
-Such a tough question. My records are like the children I don't have, I can't play favorites.

What events have you played at?
Boo!, Twister 2, Apex 2004, The Emerald Shard, 2 Tha Moon, Score, Powder Vibe, Funknectar, Round 2 "Fight", Autumn Bomb, Shambhala 2003, Utopia, Close Encounter, Improbability Factor, May Daze, Elements 2, Free The Rhythm, Flirt, Brat Baby NYE, The Main Event, Energize, No Signal, Shambhala 2002, Fully Loaded, Apex 2002, Tribal Journey, Freedom, It's Funkadelic, Breakbeat Era, Budget, Temple Of Boom, Shake It Again 2, The Beats Come Out At Night, Laid, Elements, Exclusive, Shambhala 2001, Apex 2001, Straight Up, Sumthin' Phat, Deep Freez, The Witching Hour...

What National/International clubnights have you played at?
Fluid (Nelson), Club 357 (Kamloops), Illusions (Kelowna), Higher Ground @ Splash's (Kelowna), Mack Daddy's (Sun Peaks Resort), DTCS (Nelson), Lucy Mae Brown, Vibes, Atlantis, Exhibition Room @ Blox, The Drink

Have you got any DJing horror stories?
-Do I?!?! You name it and it's happened to me at one point or another, messed up needles, bad sound, no monitors, stupid requests, people messing with records that are playing, parties busted 5 mins into my set or just before I'm about to go on, hell I even came close to getting jumped once (ingnorant hicks seem to think fucking with "ravers" is funny). So yes.

Are you a resident Dj, if so where?
-Not at the moment.

Any other info?
-I have new mix up in the works which will be available before the new year. Hope to see some of you out at future events, and feel free to say hi as I am still fairly new to the area and I'm always up for meeting new people.

The first time I met Alex he grabbed my boob. The second time I met him he let Rhia Wellbelove's hump me on his front lawn. You might say he is the greatest DJ of all time.
