Shaun Slaughter is a DJ from Sacramento who has been at the decks for more than nine years. With about six years of mixing under his belt this boy is sure to stick it to the beat. He runs a few night clubs in Sacramento(Lipstick, Vicious) and even has a residency at club night Nouveau in New York City. The DJ’s and musicians that he’s shared turntables with is too extensive to list, and he has won numerous awards for his talents.
His mixes are not your ordinary remixes. They don’t stray too much from the original song, yet still make most of these older songs sound new and refreshing. It’s good to hear someone pulling off original material with just hands and records. Not only is he not a laptop DJ(no offense) but he has a great personality and he “loves fucking music.”
Check this guy out if you see him on the bill and go read his blog here, where you can download many of his mixes for free. This is the beginning of a beautiful relationship.
If you are in San Francisco go check him out for Club Loaded at the Rickshaw Stop with Nightmoves(Kitsune) and DJ’s Omar, Audrock, and Ricky Hailey on Friday February 2nd.
