Over Shawnecy

SHAWNECY comes at house and techno from a different angle than most: from the age of 16 he was touring Europe as a dancer and choreographer. Frankfurt submerged him in the underground techno world and set him off producing for five years before his first release. In that time he found his own voice in the studio: nowadays, he loves emotive synths that seduce and subvert expectation. He programmed beats that have extra bounce, and kicked that you can feel in your chest. All of this means that whether making house, techno or cooking up his own unique sounds somewhere in between, he has a knack for variety that has won him recognition around the world. This has been proven many times over with releases on influential labels like Cocoon, Desolat, Terminal M, Get Physical and many more. Back in 2016 he had one of the underground hits of the year with his partner Pele: ‘Better For My Brain’ on Snatch! Records was everywhere and topped Beatport’s overall chart for many months. Since then, SHAWNECY has consistently had music in the higher end of the Beatport charts, and his beats often make their way into the record bags of a wide variety of taste-making DJs which proves how diverse his sound is. As a DJ, he has even more range and can play small, dark clubs to intimate crowds as well as connecting with larger outdoor audiences. From Brazil to Spain, England to the USA, New Zealand to Australia, he has played all over the world as well as at cult favourite places such as the legendary Circo Loco at DC10. Often laying down deep and atmospheric tracks to start, he masterfully builds the pressure with increasingly chunky drums. It is there that he continually digs deep and pulls out plenty of surprises, future classics and forgotten gems. Most recently he has more EPs lined-up for This And That, which will once again confirm that SHAWNECY has his own distinctive and dynamic style. Every second Wednesday he host his Radioshow SHAWNECY presents Lions Run on Ibiza Global Radio.
