SHANGHAI NOON is an L.A.-based DJ duo that features Daniel Djang and Michael Scot, two of the resident DJs for Qoöl Los Angeles , the sister club to Jondi and Spesh's legendary Qoöl in San Francisco. Daniel and Michael are also two of the founding members of EPOCHSound, a Southern California musician and artist collective. Daniel and Michael have played alongside some of the world's best DJs, including Sasha & Digweed, Deep Dish, Carl Cox, Lee Coombs, Jonathan Lisle, Jondi & Spesh, Damian Lazarus, Barry Jamieson (Evolution), Christopher Lawrence, DJ Rap, Gabriel & Dresden, Taylor, Kazell, Trent Cantrelle, Nosmo (Grayarea), Hisham Samawi, Dennis Rodgers, Moontribe, Osamu M, DJ Pathaan, and many more.
When they hit the decks as Shanghai Noon, Daniel and Michael play off each other's music and challenge one another to reach for new levels in their sets. The unique ebb and flow of their sound moves effortlessly through house, tech house, electro, progressive, breaks, techno and whatever else happens to be in their record boxes on a given night.
One of Shanghai Noon's goals is to bring back the lost art of the 2x4 set. Once a staple of the underground dance scene, this virtuosic style of mixing has been replaced by tagteam sets that lack the true collaboration of a proper 2x4. When Shanghai Noon throws down a 2x4 set, it's for real: you'll hear all four decks on two mixers, with the two DJs improvising and layering their music, dropping tracks in and out of the mix at a dizzying rate.
