I’m fortunate to be part of two shows on @a11radio & @hamshackradio here in Cape Town, South Africa. 

Retrograde: I co-host this monthly show with @whitenite on the first Tuesday night of the month on Hamshack Radio.
From disco and boogie to house, techno, and beyond; the duo digs deep into their crates to bring you lost gems, stone-cold classics, and authentic new sounds from across the globe.

Neutral Buoyancy: My solo show airs monthly and is used as a space where I can share and explore more world sounds from across the globe. I also use this space to invite friends and other DJs/musicians/producers to join me and share the airwaves.

Neutral Buoyancy 007 w/Shoemaker

Dubi Dam Blue

Obibini Takyi - Aburokyiri Abrabo

Shoemaker grew up in a family on the east coast of the United States where music was always the cornerstone of the home. When he first left the States over a decade ago, his love for music was only magnified by his travels around the world. Shortly after, an obsession for disco music sent him down a path of collecting and playing records.  With multiple residencies in the city under his belt over the years, his drive for finding new music and sounds inspires him to consistently dig deeper. Today, Shoemaker’s sets are influenced by disco, Latin, African, Zouk, house, and music from all corners of the world - never one to stick to one sound or genre. He aims to spoil listeners with music they are unfamiliar with but find irresistible not to move to! 
Shoemaker has played at MCQP, Sexy Groovy Love, Kinky Summer, Rocking the Daisies, Retreat Yourself among other festivals and is a regular DJ in the city bowl where you can catch him playing at various venues around town.
