Sugarshaker

Sugarshaker - DJ, Producer and official ‘Booty-shaker’ has been Djing semi-professionally for approximately 18 years.SugarShaker picked up 2 residencies within her first 6 months of playing out; firstly a regular gig for the Internationally acclaimed Koolwaters, playing at The Beduin Bar in London and also at The Fez Club in Bristol, alongside head honcho Marc Vedo and secondly, for local night Housework, dubbed ‘The best night in the South West’ by Mixmag! These residencies gave her the opportunity to play alongside some of the best DJ’s in the industry including Pete Tong, Dave Pearce, Fergie and Lottie (Radio 1) plus Tall Paul, The Trophy Twins, Oliver Lang, Kate Lawler, Rebekah and Big Al and Nathan Thompson (Kiss101FM) amongst many others! SugarShaker set out to rock dance floors in as many towns and cities as possible and has been lucky enough to have had the pleasure of playing at some of the best clubs in the UK, as well as dipping her toe into International waters, playing in Pakistan, Bahrain, France, Marrakesh, Sharm el Sheikh, Ibiza and Corfu!Not satisfied with rocking the dance floor with other people’s productions, SugarShaker very quickly realised that she needed to produce her own material in order to be taken seriously in the music industry. So she hooked up with the talented Leeroy K - who is also one half of LnM Projekt and also 1 half of The Conductor and the Cowboy (Feeling this way - massive late 90’s Trance hit) and got straight down to the nitty gritty, with their first track ‘On my way’, which was also co-written and performed by SugarShaker, being signed to the mighty Hoxton Whores’ label Whorehouse - it hit number 20 in the Beatport charts in it’s first week of release and stayed in the charts for a good few weeks - plus the vinyl was also sold in all good record stores all over the world - done in true SugarShaker style!Since then the duo have had a further track signed to American label ‘Metronix’ and have another 5 tunes in the pipeline so things are about to hot up over the next 12 months when hopefully all the tracks will have been released and SugarShaker will have truly made her mark on the industry!Further releases include:I’m not really listening - SP recordsCome to me -Too farAll youAfraid to close my eyesTrompetaStereoComfort & PainUtopiumCodedApart from the deep passion for House & Trance music that SugarShaker has, she also truly believes that the art of being a good DJ comes down, not only to tune selection and technical ability but also to the connection that the DJ has with the people on the dance floor - connecting with them is key, afterall it’s the people that you are there to perform for, and that is something which is always at the forefront of SugarShakers’ mind, so if you get the chance to see this lady spin a few tunes in a club near you, see how you connect with her!More recently Sugarshaker has taken on a new direction. Her love for Trance has won her over. Diversifying into this genre has been a long time coming but she is more passionate than ever about the music and the scene. Playing her first Trance set for The Gallery at Ministry of Sound, London- a Trance classics set with head honcho Gavyn Mytchell has set her firmly on a new path - not leaving the house scene behind, just an extended vacation whilst she makes her mark.RESIDENCIES:CURRENT RESIDENCY: The Gallery @ Ministry of Sound, LondonPREVIOUS RESIDENCIES:Le Garage, Chamonix (France)Housework, Taunton (UK)Koolwaters, Bristol (UK)Hype, Taunton (UK)Shebang, London (UK)Salcimbe Harbour Hotel, (UK)Seat Media Events, LondonZinc, Taunton (UK)PREVIOUS SHOWS (a selection of):Space, IBIZA (We Love....Space on Sunday’sCocoon Lounge, BahrainLe Garage, Chamonix (France)The Gallery, Ministry of Sound, (London)Pakistan, Islamabad - The MistEdem Club, Dassia (Corfu)Camel Bar, Naama Bay (Sharm El Sheikh)Vanwest Festival, SomersetKoolwaters 5th birthday with Pete Tong @ The Wharf, TauntonDirty Disco after party 'una tostada' @ Brixton JammPrehab @ TurnmillsFunkDeluxe @ Turnmills for Party ProactiveCyber kitten @ Fever, NorthamptonBlessed @ The Volts, KetteringClubbed Up Radio @ The Venue, NottinghamBrighton Big Bash @ The White Rooms, BrightonBless This House @ The Venue, NottinghamThe DJSkool @ The Fridge, BrixtonIbizan Heat @ The Orange Corner, IbizaFunkDeluxe @ Kanya, IbizaFunkDeluxe @ Savannah, IbizaGetDiverted charity event @ The WhiteHouse, ClaphamKoolwaters House sessions @ The Fez Club, BristolKoolwaters House sessions @ Beduin Bar, Clerkenwell rd, LondonPlastic @ Dragon Eye, BirminghamHotbox Competition @ The WhiteHouse, ClaphamHotbox Competition @ Babalou, BrixtonThe Sugar Summer Ball @ The Barn, SomersetHeavenly House @ Mambo Cafe Bar, TauntonClub X, CardiffBliss @ Heist, BrightonLe Garage, Chamonix (France)Edem Club, CorfuCamel Bar, Sharm El SheikhShiva @ The Whitehouse, ClaphamLove-tec @ The WhitehouseFluid @ EX4, ExeterHouseTrap @ BambooZinc, Taunton (UK)
