Biografie
Glasgow funksters 'Shaka Loves You' boast a unique, audio-visual show with live percussion. Effortlessly fusing elements of funk, soul, disco & hip-hop with turntable trickery, tight percussion and custom visuals, SLY create the perfect, good times live show.
Since forming in 2012 Jamie & Marty have already shared the stage with heavyweights such as George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic, The Jacksons, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Chali 2na of Jurassic 5, Craig Charles & Mr Scruff and have an impressive number of gigs and performances behind them.
As well as their residencies in Glasgow & Edinburgh, the boys have played clubs from Athens to Amsterdam with regular festival appearances up and down the UK. Add Canadian & European tours to this and you get a picture of how the SLY boys are spreading their funky sound internationally.
Complementing their live show, SLY are regularly releasing their own music and videos. 2016 got off to a flying start with Craig Charles championing their funk-infused track Soul On Fire for his 'What's big in 2016' show on BBC 6 Music. This track also attracted the attention of Mixmag, which gave it a solid 8/10 review. Their first EP, released in 2013 hit the top spot on Juno download and their second, a heavily disco influenced affair released on the legendary Goodgroove Records imprint also climbed the nu-disco charts to No.1 and gained support from the likes of Greg Wilson, Craig Charles and Dr. Packer. 2017 sees yet more label releases with an ever growing fanbase of tastemakers and supporters alike.
With a busy gigging and production schedule ahead, 2017 is set to be another big year for Shaka Loves You.
