MUSIC // SHOOK


It all began in 1986. It was the year Shook was born. As a young kid, Shook saw a light falling from the sky. It was the same night he stumbled on a pair of mysterious looking sun glasses. Shook wasn't a big fan of taking worn items he had found in the forest home, but against his principles he picked up the glasses and put them in his pocket. At that moment Shook felt a shiver running through his spine. A strange feeling came over him. He didn't know what it was, but it felt as if someone – or something – was lurking in the dark, watching him.

Shook has produced a number of remix's as well as his own stuff. Shook came to my attention which an absolutely outstanding remix of the soon to be cult classic Lizstomania by Phoenix. I think you will all agree with me here that shook has done this song an ever greater justice than the original.


The style that Shook is simply beautiful, he collaborates a range of synths, piano rifts and deep soulful electronic music to create a perfect medley of upbeat all the way to drift asleep music. Such as this


And this.


I find the latter two of the tunes so moving and go off into my own little world.

Great stuff, hopefully get to see and hear about him more and more.
