- Niyah West and DJ Shannon — 12 shared bills before that night, first on Sat 15 Jun 2024.
- Kneaku and DJ Shannon — 1 shared bill before that night, first on Thu 18 Dec 2025.
DJ Shannon and Niyah West's beloved In The Pocket returns, this time at Mood Ring, for a multi-genre affair featuring special guest Kneaku. Kneaku models the taste of South Florida DJs, mixing with So Flo Jook, Miami Bass, Dancehall, NOLA Bounce, Jersey Club, Philly Club, Bmore Club, Hip Hop & R&B; while infusing personal favorites, [Ghetto] House / Techno, Breakbeat and Ballroom.
Kneaku’s DJ performances span from club to theatrical live sound. Their perspective stems from their cultural influences, academics and passions that funnel into an eclectic multi dimensional practice, using underground culture to drive rhythm and narrative in everything they do.
With these three joining forces, there's no telling where the night could go. Prepare to dance.

their own biography
the whole biography
Shannon Dawson is a dance floor professional. From the club to the recording booth and beyond, the kinetic DJ exhibits a deep understanding of what moves people at any place or time. Born, raised, and currently based in New York, Shannon has brought her unlimited exuberance and expert DJ skills to Chongqing, China, where she lived for five years and lit up the decks at local clubs and parties across the country. There she co-founded and owned CREAM, Chongqing’s first hip-hop–focused club, and rounded out her nightlife experience operating and booking for the subcultural spot. Shannon’s sound: Big and bold. She commands the decks with impressive technical skill—she’s noted for her layering and phrasing, dizzying handwork, and big-time blends. Consistently unearthing fresh, fun, fiery tracks and off-kilter beats, she delivers hard-hitting club, breakbeat, classic and ghetto house, techno, global bass, and hip-hop. She’s slayed the CDJs in revered New York venues including Nowadays, Elsewhere, House of Yes, and Good Room. Outside of the club, Shannon graces the airwaves of the Lot Radio and Radio Bonita with her energetic mixes and sunny personality. She is also the host of the podcast Club Management, which explores music’s ability to bridge communities around the world through thoughtful interviews with such guests as TRAXMAN, UNIIQU3, Bohan Phoenix, Ikonika, and Dance Mania founder Ray Barney.Recently at Paragon, Good Room, BASEMENT · often with HONEY B, Will Jack, Giovannii, none of them here that night
