Prom Night

Raised in Aarhus by South African parents, Shaq has been DJing since he was just 14 years old and started producing at 19.

Now with years of experience behind the booth and digging in crates for the most exciting rare gems, he runs Prom Night Records and can be found DJing every weekend in the Danish capital and beyond.

Making a stir in the EUropean scene with his sets spanning sleazy disco cuts and chuggers, Italo house, afro-house, acid, and techno.

Shaq plays often in esteemed underground spots, as well as taking dancers on regular all-night journeys at Copenhagen’s Jolene.

With a sound he describes as nostalgic, groovy and sparkly, Shaq is heavily influenced by 80’s pop culture and stands out from the crowd with his captivating selections and thoughtfully crafted sets.

Shaq says, “A lot of my productions are inspired by, or centered around a fusion of 70's and 80's Disco combined with modern and contemporary styles of House music.”

However, his greatest musical inspiration comes from his parents, who fled South Africa in the late 1970s during apartheid. He grew up listening to their record collection spanning soul, funk, RnB, jazz, disco and hip hop.

With several HÖR Berlin streams, radio shows on Rinse FM, Refuge Worldwide, mixes for Ransom Note, NTS and more as well as his weekly local gigs across Denmark and abroad under his belt.

This year Shaq has performed at some of Denmark’s biggest festivals including Distortion Festival, Roskilde Festival, Northside and Dutch Milkshake Festival. An essential artist to watch carving out his space in the EU underground, all eyes on Prom Night.
