About Me

For EU bookings please contact : [email protected]
Shaun’s involvement in music started at an early age as a DJ on London’s vibrant underground radio scene, his weekly slot on ‘Rude Fm’s Saturday show enabled him to showcase his talent to a wide audience, the beginning of which saw him go on to play at some of the hottest clubs in London. Ministry Of Sound, The End, T Bar & Plastic People have all played host to Shaun’s sets as well as an array of European venues.
With a background that encompassed working at Major and Indie labels as well as in vinyl distribution, he decided to take his experiences and use the tools that he had gained to create something special. Shaun set up Lick My Deck in the summer of 2007, a label that focuses on releasing intelligent and provocative electronic music. Working with some of the most respected producers in the scene the label has gone from strength to strength and is set to go further. 2009 marked the labels entry into London’s party scene at east London institution T Bar where Shaun has been able to showcase and play along side artists like Baby Ford, Thomas Melchior and Bruno Pronsato amongst others. LMD have more exciting projects lined up in the not too distant future so stay tuned.
Shaun’s sound is deep and hypnotic yet dark and funky, this is a skill Shaun has honed by knowing his music and constantly keeping his ear to the ground, playing across the board from Techno to House to Minimal to Disco, his sets constantly entertain and never lack in energy, a surprise hidden around every corner.
