Short Circuit
From the farm lands of the mighty Waikato hails Short Circuit, a multi genre, sampling robot from the future! His weapons of choice are two turntables, a laptop and huge bank of samples to use at will. Combining many genres to make no two sets alike and having a huge database of music ranging from 80’s, Electro, Hip Hop, Dub step, Drum n Bass and Breaks, the dance floor is sure to be vibing.
Short Circuit started mixing six years ago, playing hard dance at events in Wellington such as Twisted? Fevah and Nu Nrg. With more experience his tastes broadened dramatically where he became familiar with Break beats, Hip Hop and Glitch. Playing at parties and supporting the likes of Tiki Taane, Timmy Schumacher and Concord Dawn, Short Circuit has been a resident at Flatline FM and MUNT FM for the last 5 years. You can catch him as a resident Dj at High Jack at Fast Eddies Pool Hall and a regular at Sandwiches Dubstate. If the timings right, you can also catch him incorporating live MCs into his act to pump up the crowd!!
With a fanatical ear and knowledge for music, Short Circuit has always managed to change perceptions of musical genres and ways of sampling. His inspiration comes from the likes of Krafty Kuts, A-
trak, Scratch perverts and Nas. A typical set would go from house, sliding into hip hop and dropping down into some heavy bass music. Short Circuit will have you eating electronic music for breakfast! He has been a resident at Flatline FM and MUNT FM for about 5 years; he likes to incorporate a live MC into his act when the time is right to pump up the crowd!!
As a DJ, Short Circuit knows how to drop it like it’s hot, combining the freshest beats, sounds and classic hits to make everybody in the audience respect the Robotic sounds!
