Shanti Roots & Scheibosan

Markus Dohelsky aka Shanti Roots

Markus Dohelsky aka Shanti Roots is since the beginning 90s a main part of the viennes electronic music scene. The first album “Subcodex” was released 1997 (EMI) and combined dub downtempo & Drum n Bass in a smoove way. 2002 Shanti Roots changed to the Vienna Scientists recordlabel, where the international successfull 12” “Afrique” (in coproduction with Scheibosan), a compact floor rocker, was released. Since then several remixes for labels like Sunshine Rec, Jubelee, Timewarp Music and trax for variouse compilations (Cocoone Rec/Silk, Ecco Chamber Rec/Black Coffee, Vienna Scientists, ...) where released.

The former productions where downtempo & groove & funky house. Since a few ys Shanti Roots changed the style and is now coming up with percussive techhouse, pumping dancefloor orientated basslines and a touch of driving minimal beats. DJ friendly cut, fit for the primetime and strikingly sophisticated. So are his livesets & DJ sets – many gigs from Austria, Spain/Ibiza, Swiss, Germany,... to China confirmed that. The sound is shooting directly to your hips ! So beware ! Hot ! He works together a lot with Scheibosan & Joyce Muniz (Man Rec).

DJ Klangwirkstoff Scheibosan

Musiccollector since 1977 of various styles


It began with funk&jazz, disco to brasil, ethno, dub, 70s german electronics, ambient, house, techno, trance, electro, minimal .... till today

Point of interest at the moment:
jazzy weird funkin minimal - electro - techhouse - cosmichouse - deep dubby house - up&downtempogrooves - balkan - oldschool jazz&funk&soul,…

Various influenced music, different worlds indeed, but very close together - and all combinations are possible today - some of them we even havent dreamed of.... Interesting things in the world of music r nu designed & destilled every day .........

I always try to find the right sound for the location & the people & the mood of the event - thats what i think a dj should take care of with his music in his case .... the selection & combination & mixing of music create the vibes of an evening

At least people will always need selectors (somebody said) .... "Each year more than 30,000 new music titles are released (or re-released) into a very cluttered head space of new movies, new TV shows, new books, new games, new Web sites. No matter what your musical appetite, there are not enough hours in a lifetime to listen to but a tiny fraction of the global supply. People will pay simply to have someone edit the music and recommend and present selected material to them in an easy and fun manner. That is why producers, labels and the related ecology of reviewers, catalogers and guides will continue to make a living: they counter our natural lack of attention for the 10 million albums we can expect to see in another 50 years. In the end, an awful lot of music will be sold in the territory of the free because it will be easier to buy music you really like than to find it for free."
