SHAFT XXL, is a no rules DJ. This guy is one bad mutha f**ker. SHAFT XXL has been wrecking minds and bodies since 1999. He has graced some of the best nightclubs, music festivals, one-off events, and fashion boutiques in Washington DC, like the legendary Nation (RIP), Fur, Ibiza, Ultrabar, Heaven and Hell, Cafe Japone, Panache and chic Club Five (RIP) to name a few. His ambition is to make his audience move. “The Nod,” is his driving force. A DJ based on funk meets punk. He traverses the spectrum of genres. Mixing is about A to B, not necessarily a smooth seamless blend, and not always a head-banging peaking bass drop. He has also played in other regional locales such as but not limited to VA,WV,PA,MD, FL, NJ, even the legendary desert city of Burning Man in Nevada, etc.

SHAFT XXL takes his persona from the 1970s movie hero John Shaft. Like SHAFT, this DJ is “a complicated man.” He splices and spins Breaks, Funky House, Disco, Deep and Progressive House, Big Beat, Electro, Baltimore Club, Dubstep, Garage, Drum and Bass, Trap, Future Bass, Glitch Hop, Lo-Fi Hip Hop and Downtempo. Anything he can mix to keep a crowd intrigued and guessing. His admiration of the turntablism scene is apparent in his cut and paste credo, utilizing transforms, scratches, and back spins, to spice up his performances. Some of his other tastes and flavors include, Classic Hip Hop, Classic Rock, 80’s and Motown.
