Shakti Love

Your career has been closely linked to creating emotional and elegant atmospheres across a variety of venues in Tenerife. What does it mean to you to be part of the first Sync Beat Showcase?

Being part of the first Sync Beat Showcase alongside NÓMADAS is truly exciting for me because I feel this project is about much more than simply playing music.

Nowadays, there are countless events, but not all of them have a clear identity or a genuine artistic vision behind them. After performing in many different settings across Tenerife, I’m particularly motivated by the opportunity to be part of a space where I can showcase a more personal and conceptual side of my sound.

Your style blends Organic, Afro House, Jazz House, and Tech House. How do you decide which direction to take in such a special and concept-driven format?

It largely depends on the energy I feel in the moment. I usually start from an idea or an emotion rather than from a specific genre.

Some days I naturally gravitate toward something more organic and hypnotic, while other times I feel the need for more groove or intensity.

In a format like this, I’m especially interested in creating a natural progression, allowing the audience to move seamlessly between styles without being overly aware of the transitions. I like everything to feel coherent, even when there are contrasts.

I also leave plenty of room for improvisation because I believe that some of the most memorable moments in a set cannot be fully planned in advance.

You have performed at beach clubs, hotels, and a wide variety of venues. What does this type of event offer you compared to the more familiar environments throughout your career?

In places such as hotels and beach clubs, you often have to adapt closely to the atmosphere and the audience, which is valuable because it teaches you how to quickly read the energy of the crowd.

However, in an event like this showcase, the dynamic changes. People arrive with a more open mindset, ready to listen and discover new sounds, which gives you the freedom to develop a stronger musical narrative and take greater creative risks.

Personally, I really enjoy these kinds of spaces because they allow me to build a set in a more open, authentic, and profound way.

The showcase aims to create a deeper connection between artist and audience. How do you build that emotional connection during your sets?

For me, connection starts long before technique. It’s about presence, sensitivity, and the ability to understand and feel the energy of the dancefloor.

I try to create sets that offer contrast and emotional progression. I’m not interested in maintaining the same level of energy throughout the entire performance. Instead, I prefer to build tension, release it, surprise people, and create moments that remain with them long after the event has ended.

I believe electronic music has an incredible ability to bring people together on an almost instinctive level. When that happens, a DJ set stops being just a performance and becomes a shared collective experience.

If you could describe the musical journey you will present at this event with a single feeling, what would it be?

I would describe it as a feeling of expansion.

My goal is to create an elegant, magnetic, and progressive journey that combines moments of introspective connection with powerful bursts of energy and movement.

The idea is for the audience to leave with the sensation of having experienced something intense, aesthetically captivating, and emotionally immersive.
