DJ Shay Elys – The Art of the Remix
In this episode, Brandon sits down with sonic visionary Shay Elys (fka DJ Suga Shay), whose bold reinvention and global influences are lighting up LA’s nightlife.
With roots in Philadelphia’s underground scene and a career spanning 16 years, Shay Elys takes us on a journey from dubstep’s pulse to today’s genre-bending club sets. She opens up about the art of rebranding, pushing past industry boxes, and why, no matter the trends, great art, like a perfect remix, should never expire.
The conversation dives into her creative process, her philosophy on intentionality, and the power of nostalgia done right. Shay shares memories of packed dance floors, her early days rocking Mad Decent parties, and her unwavering commitment to movement, community, and sonic exploration.
Soundcheck isn’t just about beats; it’s about the stories, the risks, and the rebellious joy that keeps the music alive. Tune in for real talk, DJ gems, and a live Shay Elys set packed with Baltimore and Jersey club classics, remixes, and signature vibes that prove some sounds truly never go out of style.
Hit play to experience the art of the remix, and find out why, for Shay Elys, there’s no expiration date on the perfect track.
