Glasgow’s AV funkers 'Shaka Loves You' boast a full audio-visual show with live percussion. Effortlessly fusing elements of funk, soul, disco & hip-hop with custom visuals and turntablism, SLY create the perfect, good times live show.
Since forming in 2012 Jamie & Marty have already shared the stage with heavyweights such as Chali 2na of Jurassic 5, Jazzy Jeff, DJ Yoda, Mr Scruff, Craig Charles & A.Skillz and have an impressive number of gigs and performances behind them.
As well as their weekly residency at Glasgow's home of funk & soul; The Buff Club, the boys have played clubs from Edinburgh to Amsterdam as well as festival appearances up and down the UK including T in the Park, Beat Herder and Eden. Add to this a Canadian mini-tour in the Summer of 2015 and you get a picture of how the boys are spreading their funky sound far & wide.
Complementing their live show, SLY are regularly releasing their own music and videos. 2016 has already got off to a flying start with Craig Charles picking up the boys' funk-infused track Soul On Fire for his 'What's big in 2016' show on BBC 6 Music. This track also attracted the attention of Mixmag, which gave it a solid 8/10 review. Their first EP, released in 2013 hit the top spot on Juno download and their second, a heavily disco influenced affair released on the legendary Goodgroove Records also climbed the nu-disco charts to No.1.
With a busy gigging and production schedule ahead 2017 is set to be another big year for Shaka Loves You.
