APRIL 13: Mr Chew’s Vinyl Sessions featuring Shazz
Shazz is pretty much one of KL’s long standing house stalwarts with a career stretching back well over 20 years. Harking back to the styles of Levan and Humphries, the spirit of Shazz`s sets still stay true to house music`s original ideals of wild musical eclecticism and stirring rhythmic intensity that elicits a soulful, spiritual and inspirational vibe.
Growing up in New York City meant music figured heavily in Shazz`s childhood. Listening to influential radio stations such as KISS-FM and WBLS-FM established a diverse frame of musical reference. In 1994 he discovered the nascent underground house scene in Kuala Lumpur, providing a launch pad for his DJing and igniting his passion for garage and deep house. But it was in 1999 in Nottingham, when he met his mentor and DJing partner, Dean Anderson that Shazz`s style was shaped into what it is today.
In addition to their weekly spot at Drop The Bomb @ The Bomb, Shazz and Dean partnered in a number of other residencies, including monthlies at The Edge, Love 2 Be @ The Mint, and Tyrant (with Craig Richards and Lee Burridge). Their numerous guest stints include DIY`s Floppy Disco, Colours @ The Tunnel (Glasgow), Back 2 Basics (Leeds) and Life (Boston, US).
Shazz`s solo guest appearances include Lovezoo @ The Lost Weekend, Progress (Derby), The Que Club (Birmingham) and The Sub Club (Glasgow).
In KL, his appearances have included guest spots at Carbon and Emporium, as well as a residency at House Beautiful @ Liquid, a monthly event offering alternative fare for local clubbers, which he also co-promoted with local house legend the Groovedoctor.
Post 2000 (2004), together with the likes of Terence C, Fono and more, he was co-founding resident DJ at the vaunted Zouk Kuala Lumpur, where he promoted the ‘soulful and spiritual worldwide dance music’ he is so passionate about through his residency at the club’s renowned Velvet Underground and more recently Apex Lounge, until early this year, when he went independent.

Music Is Love sees the Da Funkie Junkie curated nights with Da Funkie Junkie and friends on resident music duties.

The musical ethos is inspired by legendary DJs Larry Levan and David Mancuso and their modern incarnations, Dimitri from Paris, Joey Negro and Danny Krivit. The early hours will provide customers with an opportunity to discover the “roots” of dance music i.e. soul, funk, jazz, disco and Afro-latin beats.
