Biography
Anthony "Shake" Shakir, who also uses the aliases Sequence 10 and Da Sampla, is an American techno producer, best known for his contributions to Detroit techno and helped shape the techno's early sounds with artist Derrick May and Carl Craig. He is an influential yet underrecognized figure in techno, and known for his style in blending/experimenting elements of electro, hip-hop, and funk. Shakir began producing in 1981, and worked with Detroit musicians for many of the early Metroplex releases. Shakir appeared under the name Sequence 10 on the Virgin Records compilation Techno: The New Dance Sound of Detroit. While many of his peers on the Detroit scene have worked to increase their profile in Europe, Shakir never gravitated toward this scene, working more closely with the second wave of Detroit techno musicians such as Mike Banks and Claude Young. He formed the labels Frictional in 1995 and Puzzlebox in 1996, the latter with Keith Tucker.
