SHAUN SLAUGHTER
"We’ve had our sights on Shaun Slaughter ever since he launched his wildly popular weekly dance party......No matter where you catch this this man spinning, rest assured that the dance floor will be packed with those paying homage to his craft" - SNR
"Within Sacramento’s concentrated deejay population, there are rising dynamos, embedded bastions and those who are criminally underrated. But above all, there’s Shaun Slaughter, a name long synonymous with the central city’s hip happenings." - SNR
DJ
I've been DJing in Sacramento for over 15 years, won 4 Sammies for "Best DJ", 2 Sammies for "Best Club Night" 1 Sammie Hall of Fame award and 1 Sacramento Magazine Best of for "Best Place to Shake Your Arse off" (Lipstick)
I spin a broad and uniquely mixed variety of styles varying from indie dance/indie rock, rare funk/disco/soul, house music, old time radio songs ('20s-'40s), '90s tracks and a whole lot more in between which is why i've been ubiquitous in the midtown scene and a go-to for most large private/public events.
