Since 1989, Shaka has been the pseudonym for Swiss born DJ and producer Kurt Spichiger. As a young and curious music-lover, he always was looking for and open to innovative and exceptional music. After purchasing a mixer and turntables in 1989, he started to record his first mix tapes. With his steadily growing record collection, and inspiration of films like Beat Street, he initially mixed Hip Hop with Reggae, and Funk. Later, more Acid, Chicago House and the sounds of Detroit made their way onto his mix tapes, the latter having a profound influence on his development. He released on: D3 and Axodya, Woody McBride, Communique, Revolver, Morris Audio, Floppy Funk, Revolver, Stattmusik, Mental Groove and Kolour LTD. Shaka's music is falling somewhere between funk and house. He is first and foremost a music-lover, and like all true music-lovers, stylistic barriers are unknown.
