SHADED | Dirtybird / Experts Only | California

SHADED has a signature sound. It's a weaving combination of driving, psychedelic vibes and funk-inspired textures. His sound is undeniable in character, and whilst his production style is constantly evolving, he always stays true to his Southern California roots.

As a slew of released material will all attest, SHADED is on fire in every sense of the word. His releases have been signed to leading labels, namely TRICK, Dirty Bird, Experts Only, and Hot Creation. He has fans across the globe in such luminaries as Patrick Topping, Dubfire, Jamie Jones, and Tiga. If you're a long-term fan or just discovering him through Desert Hearts or Turbo Recordings channels, there's never been a better time to light the touch paper and indeed get lit.

Some die-hard fans may know SHADED from the SHDWPLAY duo days. After a string of successful releases together on the aforementioned Dubfire's SCI+TEC imprint, he ventured down the solo path which ultimately proved the right move, with releases like "Be My Binge", 'Dwell' and 'Crayzy'. Still great friends today, it wasn't long until Turbo's head honcho Tiga picked up on SHADED's fresh approach, which led to a total of 5 EPs on Turbo including the label's best-selling release and Mixmag's 'Tune of the Month' for 'She She' to "Body Feels", which was heavily supported by Loco Dice, The Martinez Brothers and Martin Buttrich.

He's also a key associate with Patrick Topping's label TRICK, with two releases - 'Midnight Minds' & 'Naught Mofo' - where the first had a remix from Hot Creations label head Jamie Jones, as well as being part of the Patrick's Tasty Techno Volume One compilation with his track 'Bad Mofo'.

At the end of 2023, Skyler had a track 'Jack Your Body' on Jamie Jones' sub-label Hottrax, his 'Nasty Freaks' EP on Yolanda Be Cool's dancefloor label Club Sweat, the techno track 'Silent Silence' as part of the 25th anniversary release for Tiga's label Turbo Recordings, and a monster of a club anthem 'Don Julio' that has been a key record within Jon Summit's sets in 2023 that was released on his relaunched label 'Experts Only'.

2025 has seen his 'Feel The Heat' EP land on his frequent supporters' Desert Hearts Records, his release 'Badboy' on Dirtybird Records for a Miami Music Week special and a big collaboration with long-time friend as well as fellow Californian producer Harvard Bass with their track 'Oscillate' on Insomniac's sub-label IN/RO. Before the end of the year, his long await ‘FU2’ EP will drop on Patrick Topping’s TRICK label along with a string of collaboration tracks on Dirtybird that were all produced in their San Francisco writing camp this summer.

All in all, the ever-moving and funk-shaking Skyler is on a mission to spread the SHADED vibe to as many people in as many ways as possible, and who are we to stand in his way?

In the era when America's Rust Belt got its name, factory workers labored on a 12-hour day or night shift for two weeks straight. To switch shifts, one group would have to work 24-hours straight and cover the labor gap. This grueling shift became known as the Longturn.

Longturn music was founded to give people with day jobs a space to spend their second shift. No bottle service, no passwords, just a dance floor filled with good people and good music.

Come early, stay late, dance hard ⚒️
