About Me

I am DJ Shok, I spin INDUSTRIAL at Toronto's legendary Savage GardenNightclub . Along with my partners DJ Panzer Glamour & DJ Assault and the city's best DJs, I spin regularly at aweekly event called Savage Friday - Toronto's most insane club night; it features 2 rooms of DJ madness. The Front Room is DJ Panzer Glamour and myself spinning nonstop audio industrial violence: anything from EBM to Powernoise, from Angelspit to Zeromancer and back. In addition I spin at random events around the city both in clubs and on theradio. My DJing preferences include Rhythmic Noize, Harsh EBM, Aggrotech and old school Industrial. However, I incorporateother musical styles into my DJ sets ranging from synthpop to goth to trance... whatever keeps the crowds happy, that isafter all the DJ's duty.
Along with DJing I also run promotions for Savage Garden . Thisincludes booking live acts and designing flyers and other commercial media. So, if you're a performer/band and areinterested in doing a show at the club feel free to contact me and I'd be glad to provide you with details.
I strongly believe that music and art are an integral part in making human existence meaningful. As such I am a supporter ofartists and am always trying to expose people to new material, both through my DJing and through promotions. I believe inbuilding a fan base for artists before inviting them for a show and doing the utmost possible to ensure they receive properadvertising. This comes at no cost to the artist, as it is something I generally enjoy and believe in doing. Though Ishould mention that I only deal with artists whom I respect. I welcome elitists and eccentrics, but refuse to deal withassholes.
I use this profile to post up my playlists whenever I get a chance to write them down, as well as CD reviews and otherrelated info. In addition expect to find my upcoming DJ nights and other info here. Band interviews and club party photoscan be found on the Savage Garden website and on the LiveWire profile. Enjoy, and be sure to check back soonfor all DJ Shok updates. You can also find me on my LiveJournal .
