Şakamaka is a DJ and Producer based in Amsterdam. He sees his musical roots in the underground Hip Hop early 90. Impressed by the different (electronic) music styles, which came along on his journeys in night life, the first UK Garage records of his co-inhabitant at that time got him to get interested in djing. The fascination and variety which House music gave him led to a style change. Later he focused more on the deep, dubby but at the same time pushing beats. He also brought the technoid side of House music into his sets without leaving his musical origin.
