Learning to play keys at age 3, having only a harmonica for a friend in kindergarten, starting out making tracks on a Casio at age 10, acquiring a Moog from his highschool science room at 14, getting his name on 12”s under a former guise at age 16 and then spending the last 12 months remixing pretty much everyong (Dizee Rascal, Munk, Bag Raiders, Muschles, Empire of the Sun, Tough Alliance, Pase Rock and lesser known blog-types included) – Shazam (now 19, old hey!) has (da na na na) arrived with his own debut release, “Pool Party” on Bang Gang 12”s.

Few Things about Shazam – he is very young (see above), he comes from Perth (worlds flattest place), he likes talking about Australian Animals (a lot), he “doesn’t really like people” (artist quote), he only listens to Jackson Browne an he makes some serious mood-trancending number on his Steinway Grand.

Pool Party is his first by-the-pool musical excursion. A dedication to Shazam’s days spent sipping goon cocktails in his parents lipshaped spa, tanning himself in his latest eurotrunks while listening to Jan Hammer’s Miami Vice soundtrack. It’s a melodic- Filtered solarium-house affair, a jahcuzi disco serenade, the soundtrack to pool pony races Australia wide. Featuring 3 original tracks, Pool Party 2009 is electro-breakdance-koala-boogie-haus, Luckier slows things with some 90210-funk and Pool Party 2008 is more epic than the apollo 11 mission.

On the remix side of things German uber-super-bratwurst dou Hey Today! keep the bangalter-spinal-cryda good times flowing with the smooth old-nu-french-german house mix, Headman adds (in his own words_ his 90’s “Richie Rich salsa house,tricky disco” touch and Rogerseventytwo delivers a slow treble-noise ear burner to finish this six track release off.Lots more from the next-big-thing, Shazam, coming soon.
