Sasha and Digweed have alot to thank this guy for, he remixed countless tracks which featured heavily in their sets between 1998 - 2000, prodigy - smack my bitch up, breeder - tyrantanic, jark prongo - movin thru your system, locust - no one in the world are just a few which roll off the tongue. He certainly was creative and had the uncanny knack of taking a track, ripping it apart then placing his own unique spin on it, making it funky and progressive at the same time, R.I.P. Slacker

Shem was a man as creative as the shirts he wore. He was truly Streets Ahead. A great DJ and talented producer who sadly succumbed to the inner demons of depression.

A true visionary of electronic music in the late 90's. Productions that stand out with originality and quality. A true forgotten genius of the edm scene RIP Shem

If there was one thing I could say about Shem's music is that it truly stood out. Of all the producers/artist out there when Slacker released a track I didn't know what to expect but that's where his skill as an artist resided in. I meet him once at Club Ambersands, New Orleans, Louisiana where he played skillful set. We talked about 20 minutes and he was sincere and thanked me for his support. I even brought my 12 vinyl of Psychout to sign. Much respects for an artist who didn't follow the usual road in music.

I don't think i've heard one Slacker tune/remix that was short of brilliant. "Fusion" and "Looky Thing" are just incredible. An album would be nice.....
