Shakedown launch party Sunday December 17th! Don't miss this one people!
Howdy! My name is Justin Ugle, I'm 22 and I run a funky house night called SHAKEDOWN. I've been clubbing for over 6 years now, and I absolutley love every aspect of it and dance music itself! At a time when it was very accessable I got in to hard dance and have thousands of records, fast forward 6 years and I'm now purely in it for the love of house...I love all things electro and have been inspired by many, wherever the party is at, I've loved it ever since I can remember.
I've been DJing since I was a teenager (god that makes me feel old!!) and started off in the hard house scene quickly gaining a liking for all things tidy, where I played at various nights and events gone by of that style, and loved every minute of it, as I'm sure all of you out there would have too. In 2002 I went to the Academy of Contempoary Music, met rising star Luke Dzierzek and studied for a higher national diploma in DJ skills & music production, where I met the most wickedest bunch of like minded DJs and clubbers most of which I still go out with today.
I was also lucky enough to play alongside Carl Cox at Fabric during that period of time which was a truely amazing experience for me that I shall never forget. This was an eye opener for me and got me in to the more progressive and funky sound...
These days I now only play house, and make regular trips to Ministry to see the cream of the crop Mark Knight tear it up every time..he has been a true inspiration to me and many others I'm sure, I can highly reccommend anything with his name on!! I also go to most of Luke Dzierzeks UK gigs, his sound is wicked and he is getting better known by the day. myspace.com/lukedzierzek
Other fave DJs are Grant Nelson, local boy and absolute legend! And Jack n Daniels, more local raw talent. Check it out if it means nothing to you, you won't be dissapointed!
Although my taste in music has now evolved to soulful funky / electro house, I will always love hard dance because of the times I have shared with all you guys out there and its so good to still be able to go to nights now and meet like minded people that you will stay friends with for life. But for me right now, its all about the house scene...
If you've spotted me anywhere come say hi, heres to the next 10 years of clubbing and beyond, bring it on!!!!
