Shoemaker is a Cape Town–based DJ, visual artist, and vinyl collector whose sets flow effortlessly through global rhythms — unbound by genre, but united by rhythm and groove. A third-generation Mexican-American with a lifelong devotion to sound, his mission is simple: to surprise, move, and connect through music.

As the creator and host of The Feeling, Shoemaker has invited artists from across Africa to share the sounds that move them most. Both in front of and behind the camera, he’s shaped the series into a space for honest musical expression — one that captures the emotion, texture, and intimacy that live at the heart of every great record.

The Feeling: Ep 16 - Shoemaker

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.
