SlamCast Ep. 24- Shawn Who
In this episode of SlamCast, we sit down with Shawn Who, a Native American bass music producer, DJ, and audio engineer who’s carving out a unique lane in the electronic scene by blending tradition with innovation. Fresh off the release of his powerful new track “Still Here” (featuring Thomas X and the Little Bear Singers), Shawn shares the inspiration behind the song and what it means to create music rooted in culture and resilience.
We explore his evolution from hip-hop into the experimental bass world, how he transitioned into recording and mixing for other artists, and the process of trusting your path as an artist. Shawn talks about combining modern electronic styles with traditional Indigenous dance music, and how it’s reshaped his connection to rhythm, storytelling, and community. We also dive into his production workflow, the importance of investing in yourself, and where he feels most spiritually connected to his sound. Whether you're a producer, a fan of bass music, or interested in how cultural roots can fuel creativity, this episode offers depth, perspective, and plenty of inspiration.
