New York City’s Shiftee is quite simply one of the most dynamic & innovative DJs on the planet, electrifying crowds from NYC to London to Tokyo with his unique hybrid of turntablism, new technology, honed party rocking, and exquisite musical curation. With a degree from Harvard, two unique DMC World Champion titles, an NYU adjunct professorship & Dubspot DJ program directorship, a top 10 release on Beatport’s genre charts, and an ongoing international tour schedule, this seven-time America’s Best DJ Nominee can do it all.
Shiftee’s prowess as a DJ & performer is unquestioned. In 2007, Shiftee became the only American DJ to date to have won the DMC Battle for World Supremacy title. This victory served as the catalyst for widespread international recognition, allowing Shiftee to take his talent and creativity across Asia, Europe, and the US to some of the world’s biggest clubs, most prestigious venues, and monster festivals. In 2009, Shiftee also won the DMC World DJ Championship, was automatically inducted into the DMC DJ Hall of Fame, and finally brought the fabled gold Technics turntables back to NYC. This title places his name alongside over 20+ legendary DMC World Champs including Craze, A-Trak, Cash Money, DJ Cheese, Rock Steady DJs (Apollo, Mix Master Mike & Q-Bert), Plus One of Jack Beats, and the late Grand Master Roc Raida. Since then, Shiftee’s groundbreaking routine videos have garnished millions of views and helped pave the way forward for the future of DJ performance.
