There's something special brewing over in Minnesota and it has to do with Jim Brenk and Cameron Windsor. Of course, these two are better known in the scene as Niles Shepard and they have house music flooding through every inch of their being. Their rise to fame began when they made the fateful choice to enter Insomniac's Discovery Project for Electric Forest. They would ultimately claim the grand prize, releasing "Moon, Man" on the imprint and deliver career-changing performances at festivals moving forward.

With life looking bright, Niles Shepard hit the ground running releasing dance floor fire starters like Astoria / Blackout and "Sumthin," a track that landed on IN / ROTATION's Rotate Vol. 2. Even sloth master Sacha Robotti has come down with Niles Shepard fever and welcomed them to Slothacid with Follow Me, a collaboration with MISS DRE. Most recently, they found themselves landing on NV'D Records Family & Friends Vol. 2 with the infectious stylings of "Show Off" alongside Kasto and DANI. As you can see, the demand is very real and the path before them is filled with opportunity!

In just two years Niles Shepard has achieved a special glow under the limelight and after landing on our radar as an artist to watch, we jumped at the chance to reach out and have a chat with them. Check out their exclusive mix and click the link for the interview!

From an early age it’s been about the rhythm section for Racket Club. Playing drums in bands that covered Rage Against the Machine and Deftones, Racket Club’s style has since morphed into what he calls Disco-Tech: a little Disco, a little Tech, and everything in between. He has an affinity for bouncy House music bass lines with female and hip hop vocals and you know he’s going to throw down in the club having done it for nearly 15 years, at venues like Sound Nightclub LA, Academy LA, Audio San Francisco, House of Blues, Lost Beach Club (Ecuador), Slate New York, and Zuma Boston. 

Racket Club has played support for and alongside heavy hitters HoneyLuv, Gene Farris, Westend, DJ Susan, OFFAIAH, Pickle, and Zen Freeman and he’s been on the bill for Groove Cruise, Wicked Paradise, Space Yacht, Hood Politics, Framework, and even Mammoth Mountain.

On the production side Racket Club’s released a flurry of edits that have gone viral on SoundCloud including his Beyoncé edit that’s approaching 50K streams and has aired on BBC Radio 1. He’s also had releases on Top Shelf Disco and Quincy Boy Records, with a release on Hood Politics out Spring 2023.

Former member of the record label Top Shelf Disco, a founder of the event series Pizza & Techno plus a co-founder of the music blog My Music Is Better Than Yours, Racket Club is no stranger to the electronic music world. Keep an eye on this LA-based stud as his single goal in life is to make you dance.
