Elaborating on the new soundsystem, Shepherd says: “After 15 years of being lucky enough to be let loose to dj on some of the worlds best systems, this is the manifestation of all bits of systems I love. From Shortys Kong system in NYC to Cosmic Slop in Leeds and Precious Hall in Sapporo to name a few. I’ve taken inspiration and a whole lot of technical learning from these dedicated engineers. It’s a project of passion to build my own system, to experiment with it, and finally share the system with everyone.”
