Soulshaker (also stylized as Soul Shakers) is a dance, club, and pop music production company based in the UK. In addition to creating their own productions, they write, produce, mix, and remix tracks for a number of major and independent labels in the UK, Europe, and North America.
Soulshaker, a.k.a. Matt Meyers, Warren Meyers and Kelly Mueller (and DJ Gizmo for live performances) are established as being one of the most prominent songwriting, production, remix and DJ outfits in the world of club, dance and pop music. In 2009 they were awarded the Music Industry Recognition Award (MIRA) in the "Best Dance Music Producers" category, and in 2008 won the same award in the 'Best Remix of 2008' category for their mix of Lindsay Lohan's "Bossy" on Universal Records.
To date, Soulshaker have been a part of twelve Number 1 UK Club Chart hits, and more than 35 top 40 UK Dance Chart hits. In one week during March 2009, the Soulshaker name was involved in no less than 14% of the tracks that made up the entire Top 60 UK Music Week Dance Chart.
In 2009, Soulshaker was commissioned to remix over 20 high-profile releases by various major and independent labels for artists including Chaka Khan & Mary J. Blige (SonyBMG US/Megafan), Keri Hilson (Timbaland/Universal), Paul Harris & Steve Mac (Ego Music), Robin S (Champion), Lindsay Lohan (Universal US), Alexander O'Neal (EMI), Wiz Khalifa (Warner Bros), Judge Jules (Maelstrom), Crystal Waters (Trackworks US) and Shanie (AATW). They were also the only UK dance production team to be commissioned to remix the recent double Grammy Award–winning track "Disrespectful" by Chaka Khan and Mary J. Blige.
Soulshaker DJ crews have worked at clubs all over the world for some of the world's hottest and most established promoters, and have performed in clubs including Ministry of Sound, Es Paradis, Space, Bar M, Camden Palace, Clockwork Orange, Eden, Twilo, The Turnmills, Powerzone, Fabric, Aquarium, Moneypenny's, Koko, and The End. They have also performed on numerous radio shows including BBC Radio One with Judge Jules and Seb Fontaine, and Kiss 100 with Graham Gold.
In addition to their writing, production, remix and DJ work, Soulshaker also runs a production company called 'Audiofreaks' and are the owners of the recording studio complex at London Bridge called The Vineyard, formerly globally known as The Hit Factory, where they now house names like Hed Kandi, Data, Mn2S, The Young Punx and Phonat, in their various recording studios.
Soulshaker is managed worldwide by Audiofreaks and is managed in the US and Canada by producer/music industry executive Mark Eddinger.
