ShellRobinson Shell Robinson San Francisco Bay Area House music collector. DJ. Aspiring Producer. Vocalist. Pianist. Her Story: Shell Robinson grew up in a small lakeside town in Michigan learning to play classical piano and knocking on neighbors doors asking to sing for them. House music became a critical outlet for her in 2000 when she discovered it in Cleveland Ohio at a little place called “That Groovy Little Nightclub”. She had just lost her young son to a four year illness and was searching for something. Searching for a way to grieve, to laugh, to connect and to dance. She became inspired by DJ’s and producers like Deep Dish, Saaed and Palash, Digweed, Sasha, Oakenfold, Jimmy Van M, Matthew DeKay, Anthony Pappa, Darren Emerson, Danny Howells and Hernan Cattaneo and decided she may be able to learn herself. She went out and bought two Technics turntables and a Pioneer mixer and spent 4 months up in her loft learning to beat match, mix and drive a proper progression. Out of that period emerged an aspiring Progressive DJ who loves to put together unique journeys in house music that leave listeners and clubbers wondering where the time went. She will often say that House Music saved her at that time. She went on in those early 2000’s to be a resident DJ at Moda Cleveland and Amnesia Columbus and toured several locations in the USA with D:FUSE in Austen Texas and San Francisco @ 1015 Folsom with Release. Fast forward to current times – Shell has been raising her daughter and has always continued in her executive career in PropTech but never left the culture, the community, or the music behind her. In this past year she decided she radically missed mixing her signature sounding sets and has been putting together amazing mixes out of pure enjoyment. When I asked her why she waited so long she said – “I thought I had missed my window in life but then a wonderful coach told me to do what scares and excites me the most – so here I am making sets again. The very least in this I have rediscovered my creativity, passion and connection back to the House music scene that has been so important to me in healing in my life. I hope I can help others heal, to dance, and to even do something that scares and excites them no matter what stage of life they are in.” Cheers to your own life’s journey and thanks for listening.
