Biografie
With the sheer oversaturation of DJs and producers today, it's rare to see a new artist who is something unique. Shay de Castro isn't just a breath of fresh air, but rather one of those gusts of wind that knocks you off your feet. Once she steps up to the booth, be prepared for an unexpected journey ranging from hard-hitting techno to almost trance-like melodies. One thing is for sure, you're definitely going to need a foot massage the next day.
The young producer and DJ grew up in the United States, living in some of the best cities for techno music. Playing the guitar and listening to grunge rock since she was a child had a huge influence on her sound today, always making sure to have that "dark" ingredient thrown into the mix. However, it was during her time in the culture-rich Los Angeles, California and Guadalajara, Mexico that took her productions to the next level, mixing her booming, driving aesthetic with deep melodies. Perhaps it was the mariachi, or maybe the tequila. Whatever it is, it seems to be working.
2018 was a big year for Shay, signing to some of the biggest techno labels in the world, such as Funk'N Deep, Unity Records, Frequenza, and Renesanz. The rapidly rising artist has had the opportunity to share her talent at some of the top venues around the globe: Club Vertigo in Costa Rica, Le Salon Daome in Montreal, Santo Perdido in Guatemala, Warehouse 31 in Los Angeles, and many more.
As a performer, she'll take you on a journey you didn't even know you wanted to go on. Swelling melodies contrast deep kicks, creating a soundscape made to transport you into a different dimension. No set is ever the same, but each is made up of mostly unreleased tracks, combined with older, more obscure selections to create a unique experience each time she performs. Combine that with her infectious energy and ear-to-ear smiles, and you have the Shay de Castro experience.
