"Dial The Dark In" is a pillar of the other side of Nell's writing.
Soulful, contemporary & drawing inspiration from the vast cauldron of her collection, from Jeff Buckley to Joni Mitchell.
There's plenty more where that came from... Click the link to see her live at Sofar Sounds Ibiza singing her original "Seagull in Flight".
Fusing dirty disco with electro and techno with Dylan Debut & David Coker.
Nell Shakespeare
Voted Best Emerging Vocalist 2022
There's no doubt that being on stage, in front of an eager audience, behind a microphone, is Nell's happy place.
This is where she comes alive.
This is where she bears her soul.
This is where she goes beyond.
This is where she reaches her peak.
This is where she expresses and connects.
This is her one of her greatest gifts to the world.
It's not easy to show energy like this in videos and photos - YOU REALLY HAVE TO BE THERE
but if there's a live project and a purpose and a beat and a groove, Nell is going for it.
She's been mixing it up over the last 14 years of performing in Ibiza... open heart, open mind...
Soul - Jazz - House - Rock - Indie - Blues - Folk - Rock n Roll - Disco - Funk

including...

DJ NELLIE SHAKES
My latest published mix... click below to hear more...
Nell's time as a DJ has fluctuated over the years...
from starting out as a part-time indie/rock DJ in the West Midlands,
then a funk/soul DJ during her first years in Ibiza, there was then a big gap while she concentrated on her live performance...
Well... there's no going back now... DJ Nellie Shakes is here to stay!
Dipping into disco, stirring into some electronica, surprising doses of nostalgia and deep grooves from all over the world... it's true that she prides herself on her eclectic music collection.
Mic in one hand, headphones in the other?
YES PLEASE
