About Me


Personifying sharp skills behind the decks, DJ Shank has faithfully contributed to underground dance music culture since the late 90s. An experienced natural behind the decks, Shank moves crowds with authority and has been turning heads with top shelf nuskool selections and a unique, detail-attentive approach to DJing. Spinning bassline and tearout breakbeats infused with techno, drum n' bass and hip hop influences, Shank's sets are hard hitting and aggressive, yet maintain dancefloor sensiblities.

Returned to southwest Ohio last year after living in northeast Ohio for five years. Graduated in 2006 from from Kent State University with a B.A. in advertising. I'm currently working a full-time job while I look for work in the advertising or marketing fields. I DJ at parties and electronic dance music events Ohio and the midwest as much as possible. Listening to and making music are important to me. I try to stay busy, but relaxing and having fun is important. I like being with friends, biking and hiking whenever I have spare time and energy. I try to be well-rounded and productive. I know a broad spectrum of people of various lifestyles and backgrounds. I give respect when I'm shown respect. Close friends are considered family.
