International DJ, producer, label owner, global player – it’s all expressions you can hear in everyday’s media. But who are the people behind those kind of expressions? Someone like you and me, or are they like ghosts? Europe today, USA tomorrow, sleeping on the plane and waking up in another time zone, on another continent, driven by what defines them as DJs and Producer – by music.
Shane is definitely one of them. He was born in 1976 in Germany, started djing in the juvenile age of 16 and found his homebase years later at the event- and booking-agency “Hertzmusic” in Kaiserslautern early 2002. There he could be heard as resident DJ in the Cameo-Club and on the famous “Hertzclub” party-series from 2002-2007. But that was just the beginning.
After his first big gigs in Europe from 2000 onwards (like on Ibiza | Spain) he finally got the chance to show his skills on one of the biggest stages in the world. And that was to change his life forever:
In 2005 Shane became guest resident DJ of the Viproom Shanghai | China. Together with its resident DJ Dave K he played one week long from Monday to Monday and could so claim his place in one of the world’s biggest cities, known for its outstanding nightlife scene. In August 2005 an exclusive live-set, recorded in the Viproom, was presented by Dave K in his radio show “Misty Shanghai”.
After his guest residency was finished in end 2006, Shane went on a small clubtour through Shanghais hottest clubs like the Club Feel, the Viproom and the famous dkd. Through the dkd Shane could establish close ties to the Chinese underground music scene and become friends with dkd’s resident DJ Patrick Mai.
During his time in China, Shane mixed the 5th Volume of the “Electro Fashion” CD-compilation live in the Viproom, which then was presented by Chivas Regal and released in whole China. On that CD were two of Shane’s own tracks, “Hitomi”, a progressive house track, and a progressive breakbeat track called “Zero”. Both tracks were released in 2007 on the US label “Ocean Drive Records”.
Back home in Germany, Shane’s success remained largely unheard. Progress wasn’t that fast, electronic music developed to a more minimalistic style and DJs here stuck on using vinyl and turntables. Shane however was playing digitally, what internationally seen has already become a standard – but it still didn’t seem to work out in Germany.
The Asian scene fascinated Shane. Since his first trip to Shanghai in 2005, he couldn’t get rid of the feeling of never having returned from there. And all those Asian influences are still present in all his tracks and sets, which are affected by deep-, trance-, and progressive-house music.
April of 2007, Shane went to yet another clubtour through some of China’s most influential cities – Shanghai, Shenzhen and Hong Kong. In a total of 7 locations, like in the Absolute House (Shanghai), which is one of China’s biggest clubs, he once more could prove his special skills. In September 2007 there was yet another clubtour, where Shane has been traveling and hitting up the hottest locations of China, Hong Kong and Thailand 4 weeks long.
Back in Germany, Shane always used the time between touring for working on new tracks in his studio. All this hard work finally paid off in the end of 2007, when Shane got signed as an artist on “Bit Records Mexico”, one of the most influential progressive labels worldwide.
Pushed by the success of 2007, Shane decided to found his very own record-label. “Jetlag Digital” was born in the spring of 2008 and it was raised with lots of love and care to become one of the only international progressive house labels based in Germany.
Just while started to establish his label, Shane went on a 3 week-long clubtour to the USA, where he played in major clubs in Dallas, Austin and San Antonio. Once more, the tour has been a complete success.
About 3 months after the establishment of Jetlag Digital, Shane gained support from his long-time friend Carsten (Hyline) from Hannover / Germany, who became Jetlag’s A&R manager. Jetlag Digital’s total balance of 2008 doesn’t only contain the releases of 28 EP’s and 3 artist albums, all available in over 70 online-stores around the globe, but also hitting the ranks of the top 100 progressive house international sales charts a several times.
Today, Shane works as a producer, joined by international well known artists from the progressive house scene like DJ Taucher, Michael & Levan, Faskil, Ariel Curtis, Oliver Morgenroth, having his tracks and remixes signed at various labels worldwide.
Be it Melbourne, be it Shanghai, Shane’s tracks and sets can be heard monthly at well known international radio stations. He also host own shows like his show on di.fm New York, or together with Hyline “Advanced Views on Friskyradio” in San Francisco, USA.
Even though originating from Germany, Shane managed to claim his place as a DJ and Producer in the international music scene and has always been able to show in an impressive way how real global dance music works.
