Just a house music & vinyl enthusiast living in a digital world.

Lover of: house music (funky, jazzy, disco, jackin’, Chicago, soulful, tech, tribal, acid), disco & funk edits, techno, breaks, UK bass, electro, garage, trip-hop, juke, drum n bass (jungle, dancehall, atmospheric, liquid, jump up), and some genres I honestly don't know the names of.

Played records (and mp3s) at some fun places in Buffalo over the years: Osaka Blu & O Lounge for Fractal Project; Groove/Opium Lounge, Level, and Pure for Factory Nightlife; Elmwood Lounge for Drop The Beat Thursdays; Soundlab, DBGB & waxmuseumradio.com with Queen City Cartel; Sample & Mode with MGI; Golden Key Tavern, Buffalo Bar & Grille, Electric Avenue for Peace.Luv.House; Sunset Sessions for MNM Presents; Gypsy Parlor and Acqua for Igloo; Off The Wall, Prespa, The Stillwater, Social, Iberia, Left Bank, Nektar, Jade, “The Loft”(RIP), 960 Grant :), 658, 464 Gallery, and a bunch of house parties filled with some truly fun & interesting people.
Highlights would be closing for Junkie XL with DJ Rob Decker…and opening for Dubfire with Dave Gold & Eric Fiebes.
Most terrifying was closing for DJ Craze at a multi-venue fest downtown in ‘08 armed only with a deep house set I was supposed to play 5 hours earlier at another spot.  Cool to plays after Craze, but epic fail on keeping that crowd going!  😂

money is money is money is money (give it to me)

Shane Dee is not just another DJ in this easily left-behind EDM scene — he’s an electronic music activist, creating authentic underground events and pushing real electronic music in markets where the scene didn’t previously exist.

Founder of the Las Vegas Trance Movement and co-founder of the Trance Arson weekly, Shane has spent over two decades tirelessly building underground dance communities wherever he plants roots. From the clubs of Dallas and Las Vegas to the uncharted rave territory of Montana, he’s carved out space for true electronic music, defying trends and commercial pressures in favor of authenticity.

Shane’s story began in 2001, honing his craft on a pair of Technics 1200 SL MK2s and a crate of Detroit and German techno records he bought from a friend while stationed in Japan. That friend’s older brother ran in the same circles as the Belleville Three — Kevin Saunderson, Derrick May, Juan Atkins — connecting Shane’s early education in techno straight to the source.

Influenced by giants like Jeff Mills, Richie Hawtin, and Sven Väth, his sets channel that lineage while remaining uniquely his own, evolving with every venue, every dancefloor, every moment. 
 Shane's Armed with a degree in music production and experience as A&R for Factory 918 Acromic, Shane delivers sets that explore the darker, more primal side of dance music — blurring the lines between past and future, body and mind.

Shane has played with big names at festivals and clubs alike, but his mentality is not about name dropping, it is about the music itself, plain and simple.

Deeply rooted in techno’s history yet infused with his hypnotic, psychedelic twist, Shane’s sound is a raw, immersive journey into the underground. Now setting his sights on Detroit, the birthplace of techno, he’s focused on deepening his connection to the genre’s roots while expanding his underground movement.
