underappreciated names in American techno. A producer since 1981, Shake had an important role in helping shape the early Motor City sound associated with artists such as Juan Atkins / Model 500, Kevin Saunderson and Derrick May and in fact belongs to the first wave of producers. Unlike the famous
Belleville three however Shake has remained elusive - a secret within a scene known at that time for multiple alias.
Last year his elaborate retrospective compilation 'Frictionalism 1994-2009 was released, which marked his best work on his own Frictional Records. NYC beat kid FaltyDL remixed 'Assimilated', which is one of the highlights from the album.
