About
DJ Moneyshot (Solid Steel/Big M Productions/Proto Hype Records)
The ever-eclectic DJ Moneyshot has won a mad decent following for his killer mixtapes, bubbling live sets, and party-smacking tunes. He’s an all round good egg, and jaw-droppingly nimble ‘pon the decks. His style is mad tight, and best described as “dancefloor beats, booties and bass with hip-hop skills,” if you ever find yourself in a situation needing it.
While we’re throwing out quotables, let’s take a quick word from The Guardian newspaper, notable for its objective stance on such matters:
"DJ Moneyshot is a stupidly talented mixer who never forgets that a DJ's primary role is to get people dancing. And he will certainly do that"
So there.
When he’s not getting big love in ink, he’s getting props from cats in the field. Yoda admits to biting mixes off him, and DJ Food called him his favourite DJ out there right now. Praise indeed.
Thanks to his official induction into Ninja Tune's Solid Steel radio family, Moneyshot has being shining hard on the mixtape scene. His sets are the stuff of legend. Besides rocking thousands of downloads, winning Mix of the Year, and hitting over 36 countries a month, they all sound dope on your way to work.
Bar that, in the style of the day, Moneyshot has recently branched out into making tunes, and has had crazy airplay from Rob Da Bank, Huw Stephens and Bethan Elfyn over at BBC Radio 1. His recent Stunt Cock EP on bootie legend label Big M has been smashing dancefloors worldwide, and his remixes of House head Eats Everything and Rap superstar Joe Driscoll are characteristically off the chain.
Although he has been saying “this is my year” since around ’93, 2011 is Moneyshot’s year. He’s not sure what to do with it yet, but is looking forward to a jam-packed summer of festivals and mad European gigs.
“Don your dancing trousers,” says the man himself. “And maybe even your boogie shoes.” Either way, stay sharp, and keep your ears out for your man Moneyshot this year, and all other years to follow.
He loves you, your girlfriend loves him, and he is now taking crazy bookings like a cut-price Vegas wedding chapel.
That is all. x
