Justin Shave, better known as Shave (born 1973), is an Australian music producer/composer born in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
Shave’s initial foray into production was as one half of Sydney’s [love] Tattoo, penning Fat Boy Slim favourite Drop Some Drums and ARIA-nominated club classic The Bass has Got Me Movin’. He then went on to form pop dance act Etherfox, releasing Latin house anthem "The Whirled You Live" through Ministry of Sound, before he relocated to Europe in 2005. Based primarily in London, he collaborated with (and was signed by) the UK’s Shapeshifters, breakbeat pioneer Stanton Warriors and ex-Sugababes Mutya Buena.
Shave's work on four Top 10 UK and Top 5 Billboard dance productions for the Hed Kandi label drew the attention of French disco magnate Cerrone, for whom he produced two platinum selling tracks featuring house diva Katherine Ellis of Freemasons fame.
During 2008, Shave co-wrote & produced Darren Hayes’ (of Savage Garden) 3rd solo album This Delicate Thing We’ve Made.[1] Shave toured extensively with Hayes as a musical director, performing keytar onstage from Moscow to Chicago. His expertise in the technical field led him to Berlin, where he played his custom-built machine, the Okkam 01.
Shave is currently co-writing and producing Sydney band Potbelleez's 2nd album, Destination Now.
