The Shadowkings

about

Since 1996, the Shadow Kings (Kelvin Sylvester and Nick Balodimas) one of the original house music DJ/Producer teams from Boston MA, have moved some of the best dance floors from coast to coast. With styles varying from deep/uplifting soulful house music to classic disco and both coming from immigrant families heavily influenced by music and their cultures. It was natural that they would both eventually meet at a dj record shop in the early 90’s through a mutual friend. In 1999, they moved into the production aspect of the industry, releasing their first recording, ‘Disco-Nnected’ on Gossip Records (which ended up on a compilation from Italy called ‘Angles Of Love’ mixed By Ted Patterson). With growing success, they released re mixes and original productions for some of the most distinguished house music labels in the industry. They have been reviewed on some of the most prominent dance music magazines in the UK such as Dj, MUZIK and JOCKEY SLUT Magazine for releases on Chez Music, ‘Catch the Sun’ (2001) and ‘Get Stronger’ (2002). ‘Catch the Sun’ was then released on a mix compilation by Neil Aline of Chez Music called ‘On The Rocks Vol.1’. (which became a huge underground hit) Soon after ‘Get Stronger’ came out, it was licensed on the Ministry of Sound CD ‘Hard Times’. In 2005, the Shadow Kings released the long anticipated ‘Soul Music’ (listed as one of the top 100 downloads on Traxsource for 2005) featuring David Walker with lyrics written by Duane Harden (‘U Don’t Know
