Shane.MOV
Apart from working in film as a director, Shane Crosland is the artist known
as Shane.MOV (previously known as Shamus). Originally a jazz/funk drummer
and instrumentalist from Maryland and Colorado, USA, he has been promoting,
playing at clubs, festivals, parties, and playing in live bands for just over a
decade.
Currently based in Byron Bay, Australia, he has been able to dive into the
bubbling underground electronic scene, and has created a multi-faced film
production/arts/music label, SONIK-INO, giving artists a voice and remaining
close to the idea of inclusion.
SONIK-INO collaborates closely with a number of brands and labels in Australia,
as well as far and wide to create content, art, and events that are approachable
for all walks of life, including as much rising talent as possible. They are also the
founders of an international event, Club Motif, allowing for extended sets to let artists express their full sound capabilities.
Shane.MOV has been able to release with Donald Pump (PAF Records)
and DJ WITCH, titled "Lullaby For Georges" and "Count Forwards To White". The
tracks have been grouped into the compilation LP, "Lost In Transience
(SOKI001)", SONIK-INO's first release, consisting of eight tracks produced by
artists in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales. He has recently
released his first EP titled ‘Habits (Like Glue)’ featuring remixes by Nachtbraker,
Minor Circuit, and Pootchy, which has also been released on SONIK-INO as
SOKI003. Shane has also recently released mixes on Bangkok Community
Radio, Deeprhythms curated by Echocentric Records, as well as, Hanoi Community Radio.
His style is ultimately guided by the idea of space, authenticity, and depth,
playfully blending an array of selections in his sets. No stranger to tension and
release, Shane.MOV remains in a position to fully explore sounds both old and
new, across the realms of house and techno with astral, euphoric, world, and
soul influences, rooted in the Chicago, Detroit and UK underground. With that,
he is able to create eccentric, emotive, and vibrant dance floors.
