Shimakum got infected by music and started playing the guitar at a very young age. But after going out more often he found his true love: electronic music. In the beginning he listened to more dubby and triphop sounds and started to play as a deejay in local bars in Ghent.Together with some friends he also started to produce his own music by experimenting with drumcomputers, samplers and effects. Around ‘96 Shimakum got more and more fascinated by the powerful drive of techno and started to explore this genre.Nowadays Shimakum plays qualitative techno, spiced with some tribal grooves & melodies brought with very tight mixing skills. Sometimes Shimakum plays together with Seba Lecompte, then they battle with four decks, two mixers and special prepared loops and samples. At this moment Shimakum is heavily active in the studio and has just finished his first solo ep. He already got lots positive reactions by other artists and deejays but is still searching imprint to realease his debut EP. Shimakum is also preparing a live PA and will be finished after the summer; however on special request he can perform try-out live-pa's.PLAYED ATLust @ Old Cave (Nijmegen, NL), Kozzmozz, Club Decadance, Londenbeat, Nightflight, Minor Moves, Polarise, SeSSioN, Evolv, ISSW, Club Kosmic, Rector, Switch (studio brussel), Radio UrGent, SoundAttack (resident), Michigan (resident) and many morePLAYED ALONGSIDEAngel Molina (esp), Brent Roozendaal (NL), Darren Roach (uk), Dave Ellesmere (uk), Dave Mothersole (uk), Dimitri Andreas (be), Dr Lektroluv (be), Dustin Zahn (usa), Estroe (nl), Gabriel Ananda (de), Gene Farris (usa), Harm Rhebergen (nl), Invite (nl), Johan Bacto (swe), Joris Voorn (nl), Justin Berkovi live (uk), Kozz (be), Lektroluv (be), Marco Bailey (be), Melvin Lardenoye (nl), Monsta (uk), Ortin Cam Live (be), Oxia (fr), Redhead (be), Ryan Blackman (uk), Simon Coyle (austr), Steve Larson (be), Surgeon (uk), Tomaz (be), T-Quest (be), Useless Live (fra), Veiga (austr),, and many more...
