SHAFT XXL, is a no rules DJ.  This guy is one bad mutha f**ker.  SHAFT XXL has been wrecking minds and bodies since 1999.  He has graced some of the best nightclubs in Washington D.C., like the legendary Nation (RIP), Fur, Ibiza, Ultrabar, Heaven and Hell, Cafe Japone, Panache and chic Club Five (RIP) to name a few. His ambition is to make his audience move.  “The Nod,” is his driving force.  A DJ based on funk meets punk. He traverses the spectrum of genres.  Mixing is about A to B, not necessarily a smooth seamless blend, and not always a head-banging peaking bass drop.  

“SHAFT XXL chooses tracks that others would never consider mixing.”  
DJ Satori - Mixed Signals, Washinton D.C.

SHAFT XXL takes his persona from the 1970’s Black-sploitation heroe John Shaft.  Like SHAFT, this DJ is “a complicated man.”  He splices and spins Breaks, Funky House, Disco, Deep and Progressive House, Big Beat, Electro, Baltimore Club, Dubstep, Garage, Drum and Bass, anything he can mix to keep a crowd intrigued and guessing.  His admiration of the turntablism scene is apparent in his cut and paste credo, utilizing transforms, scratches, and back spins, to spice up his performances.   Some of his other tastes and flavors include, Classic Hip Hop, Classic Rock, 80’s and Motown.  

A Co-Founder of the DJ crew Plate Techtoniks circa 2001 follows the same philosophy SHAFT XXL follows.  “Ground Breaking Music,” is their school of thought and their modus operandi.  This DJ collective and production crew does not subscribe to genre boundaries and promotes music as one style, as a natural elemental force for supporting life.  Plate Techtoniks Crew is named after the physical mechanics behind the shaping of our planet Earth.  Tectonic Plates are always shifting and meta-morphing the planet from the surface to the core fueled on geo-thermal energy.  Just like music moves the body and the soul…our inner spiritual energies are like that of geo-thermal forces.  Hence the evocative mission statement of “Ground Breaking Music!”  They represent the evolutionary properties of music.

If you also believe in keeping beats evolving and keeping them bad ass…funky, sexy, nasty, sweet, and epically fun in all its forms, when you step onto a dance floor this cat SHAFT will have you partyin’ Xtra Xtra Large, can you dig it?  I am just talkin’ bout SHAFT XXL, damn right!


"Call It Techno" was the blueprint track which was written on June 4, 1989.  It was at the forefront of European Rave Culture and became a well known track in the U.K. & Germany.  The documentary "We Call It Techno" explains it right from the beginning and from that came the second & third Love Parade themes being named "The Future Is Ours" off the XL/Citibeat LP by Musto & Bones.  And "My House Is Your House" from the Break Boys which was Frankie Bones aka on Fourth Floor Records in 1990.

Frankie became the American Pioneer of Rave Culture on both coasts in 1990, playing Techno as a movement.  The Peace, Love, Unity Movement which in 1993 became PLUR after a fight broke out at an event in The Bronx which had Richie Hawtin as it's headliner.

And the rest is history.  If words can paint the picture here, the first 5 Soundcloud links will describe a DJ who has a journey of a lifetime & still is active in 2024.  The music that comes from the heart & soul of the Brooklyn Underground.

MAD PROPS TO ALL OF YOU OUT THERE MAKING DOPE ASS TUNES, YOU KEEP BANGIN EM OUT AND I'LL KEEP LISTENING!

I was brought up on Motown. Then I moved to England 25 years ago. Began that journey with Orbital, Hawkwind and The Day to Day. I started going to Planet Angel, Whirly Gig, and fell in love with breakbeat after visiting the Fats Bar in Camden in 2000. My birthday is on Notting Hill Carnival. Ive been very lucky to have some excellent DJs and lovers of music throughout my life who have given me a wondrous appreciation of music, including punk and and indie.
