In front of the decks you'd catch him cutting shapes late into the night. You could say on the dancefloor he was smooth as.... ya know... BUTTER! Before slidin' on into Minneapolis, late nights in the local Fargo dance music scene would later influence Shawn to take his next step in his journey with music through life. After moving to Minneapolis, he sought for a similar scene, people, and music.
He plunged head first into all flavors of dance music, but nothing has hooked him quite like the 4 on the floor sounds of house music. It's about the people. The music comes second. Then its the feeling..... The way it can take you and make you just want to move...... and everyone on the floor has their own groove. Drawing inspiration from a variety of House Music giants near and far, Some of his favorite locals include, Larry Peace, and Chuck Love - and of course legends like David Penn, Green Velvet, Purple Disco Machine,
and Riva Starr. You could use the words "Feel Good" "Thumping" or "Disco Inferno" to describe the style, intensity, and vibe of a DJ Butter set. DJ Butter has played for Groove Cruise, Key Elements Ent., Rhyze Ent., and a variety of other local shows and livestreams. Aside from setting a vibe on a dancefloor, DJ Butter's favorite place to spin is with homies, or smaller groups.
