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
EVENT CURATION
My event coordinating and curation has been called inventive, unusual, taste-making and exotic. I try and bring something super unique to simple spaces through decor, music selection, booking and my eye for detail.
Events i've been a part of:
"THIS MIDTOWN" Summer Series.
Marrs Building Block
June/July/August/September 2013
Working with a small group consisting of Clay Nutting, Michael Hargis (Launch/Lowbrau), Prince Barron, Kari Shipman & Joe Cro we threw 4 months of huge, 3000+ shows w/ national acts and locals we felt midtowners wanted to see in Sac and were sorely unrepresented in the Sacramento live/party scene. My responsibilities included general vibe, making sure things ran smoothly, booking, branding & graphic design.
"TABOO" / "IT TAKES TWO 2 TIKI"
The Red Rabbit
Bi-Monthly
A bi-monthly transformation of the back patio of Red Rabbit. Taking elements from tiki-tropical culture, exotica & polynesia. My responsibilities included decor, music, background effects, branding and graphic design.
VARIOUS EVENT COORDINATIONS AND CURATIONS: Lowbrau Halloween, Red Rabbit Halloween, Shady Lady Christmas Party, Red Rabbit Christmas Party, Various LAUNCH after parties, Golden Bear St. Patrick's Day Party and many more.
"THIS IS MIDTOWN" SERIES
"TABOO"
"New, free concert series This Is Midtown arrives to save Second Saturday" - SNR 2013
"There is a serious effort behind This Midtown to turn it into something rad—an effort to bring in a fresh rotation of bands —and to involve the community with a street-fair aspect. The energy is palpable. The potential is exciting. - SNR 2013
