Musicians who perform with the likes of Tete de Pois, Franz Von and Hyde Park Brass to name a few, come together to form a power ensemble of roaring horn sections, lucious string ensembles and a relentless rhythm section to create an indescribable energy and an infection desire to dance.The Shades Collective reaches that elusive sweet spot where world class musicianship meets rave culture.
