    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Drawing from over ten years of training as a classical pianist, BEYBLADE SHAWTY’s expansive music curation and selection practice transfigures the confines of genre, incorporating sounds from across the Black diaspora. Especially inspired by vanguard music descended from jazz, funk, and soul, BEYBLADE SHAWTY's evocative, captivating, high-energy sets invite listeners on sonic journeys across spacetimes. Playfully irreverent lyrics, percussive basslines, breakbeats, and four-on-the-floor rhythms enchant audiences, transporting them to new worlds of free movement and self-expression. At once precisely methodical and deeply intuitive, BEYBLADE SHAWTY’s mixing practice is informed by the diverse musical backdrop that accompanied her upbringing. Subverting category, the DJ utilizes techniques spanning hip-hop, club, techno, bass, global house, and beyond, igniting auditory frequencies that co-create affective trust with her audience. BEYBLADE SHAWTY hosts The Baddie Hour, a NYC party series featuring local talent at some of the city’s most beloved venues. After years of unsuccessful searching, the DJ and her friends dreamt of a safe, fun environment in which they could reliably listen (and dance!) to great music. Since she couldn’t find one, she organized one herself. The artist's monthly Half Moon radio show, BEYBLADE SHAWTY FM, streams the fourth Thursday of every month at 8 PM EST.

 Now a regular fixture of Atlanta’s club scene, Say3 has shared the stage with well­-known DJ’s such as Mina , Ape Drums , and Brenmar , who he also collaborated with on the March 2018 single Free Up released on High End Times. Say3 has released a steady stream of original tracks and remixes throughout the past year including three compilations of afro-edits which has gained him supporters from around the world. His productions also feature on Bryte recent mixtape, who is one of Ghana’s most exciting upcoming vocalists, released on UK label More Time Records.
