DJ Jeff Shanker was born in Edison, New Jersey (Exit 131) and raised so close, yet so far away, from the city and the clubs that served as the catalyst for his DJing career. Even before he was a teenager, Shanker experimented with turntables and mixers.  His passion for all types of music hit a pivotal point in college, in 2001, when he visited Be Yourself at the legendary club Vinyl (NYC) and then Buzz at club Nation (DC). The clubs introduced him to the then underground house and progressive house movement that reigned supreme.  From that point on, his track selection has always been eclectic and engaging, but there will forever be hints of Danny Tenaglia, Steve Lawler and Sander Kleinenberg in each of his dynamic sets. Shanker has been drawn to, and will continue to spin, a diverse style of electronic dance music that delivers a little bit of everything for everyone -- from tribal tracks and haunting vocals to bass lines that make you move.
