DJ Shai Guy - ProfilesArchive

About Me

Less of a band, more of a... Shai.

There are two loves of my life - films and music. And when I meet the right woman, there'll probably be three. Four including chocolate. Five including Thailand. Anyway...

It has been really difficult to actually slim this music page down to one genre because of the following reasons:

1) I like to play guitar, both cranked up and mellowed.
2) I like to make electronica on my little Roland Groovebox when I get strange electro-riffs going through my head in the middle of the night.
3) I DJ everything from rnb, hiphop, house and rock to funk, soul, rock n roll and cheese to bollywood, asian underground, desi rnb and bhangra. Have no real preference but probably have the best knowledge of the rnb/hiphop scene.
4) I already have 2 myspace pages and I'm not creating anymore.

So this is the one music page. For:

Shai - Guitarist/Singer
Shailand - Electronica
DJ Shai Guy - Commercial and retro music
DJWalla - Asian music

And don't even get me started on films.

Listings of what's on some pre-prepared mixes can soon be found in my blogs. If you would like a copy of any of the cds, get in touch and I'll try get one down to you. Especially if you're a promoter or club owner looking for a DJ.

See ya on the dancefloor.

Indie/Rock: Dave Grohl meets Mansun on a Stoned Rosy day listening to Coldplay on the Radiohead.

If you've found yourself a friends request from me, it will be one of three reasons:

1) You're already a friend of mine.
2) I like your music and hope you like mine.
3) You can be really useful to me in some way or another. That's for me to know and for you to find out.

So go on. Add me whether you like me or not. It all makes perfect sense if you think about it.
