Dan Shake Verde

Welcoming the inimitable DJ and Producer Dan Shake with his forthcoming EP Verde, set for release on April 13th via the label head's very own Shake records. Renowned for his infectious charm in the booth and an expert ear for funk, soul and disco rarities, the producer who cut teeth making maximum impact dance-floor groovers is now taking an introspective new direction. Dan was inspired after his relocation to Devon from London where a new found feeling of escapism and appreciation for nature allowed him to experiment with his own sound more than before, including using his own vocals at the forefront for the very first time. Dan Shake (Daniel Rose-Weir) began his notoriety with the Mahogani Music released 3am Jazz Club / Thinkin' in 2014, using Moodymann's seal of approval as a springboard for his ambitions. Even as dancefloor-igniting releases piled up year on year, such as the Ibiza-smashing 'Claudia's Trip', or any number of Shake Tapes white label edits, Shake's expertise as a DJ began to match his production chops. This makes for two combined sides of what Dan Shake represents: an explosion of colour, variety and flavour, no matter whether he's jamming on a rotary in the booth, or juicing fresh joy from old samples in the studio. Basements, lofts, tents, festival stages with the production dialled up to 11 - all are welcome opportunities to let loose. But as his sound has evolved and his reputation as a killer DJ has grown, Shake's love of connecting to the dancers in front of him has remained, well, unshakable. Genre: Dance / Electronic
