SHAZAM is a DJ and a musician from Berlin. He is sometimes DJing with live musicians in a club situation, at other times he's a live DJ with a band onstage. Or both. He likes music with three EEEs: Electronic, Eastern & Eclectic.


the Tracks you are hearing in the player are collaboration works with other people and NOT a DJ mix tape. To listen to some Shazam DJ sets, please hear back the radio show EAR TO THE GROUND in the blog section above or over at www.soundcloud.com/shazam

''While spinning, i don't have musical limitations other than my personal filter : i like a tune - or not.''

So you might get a DJ set of his that combines styles like these: Asian Vibez, NeoArabic Clubfusions, Global Dubstep, Afrobeat, vintage Bollywood Breaks or Brazil Drum&Bass, Lounge Exotica or or or..
