Max HeyraudWith its fourth instalment, We Are Active Radio, the podcast series from Belters Only community-driven house music imprint, continues to map the future of house music, this time, handing the controls to an artist who needs little introduction, Shauna Dee.
Dee has become a trusted presence in booths across the country. She’s moved beyond the “rising star” bracket, yet hasn’t settled into the role of a seasoned veteran either. Instead, she occupies that compelling middle ground, a space where the fierce, hungry energy of emerging artists intersects with the cool, measured instinct that comes from years spent navigating the circuit. It’s a rare balance, and one that defines her sets as much as her trajectory.
Her CV reads like that of an artist who commands respect: standout appearances nationwide, a major slot at Electric Picnic, and support duties for heavyweights such as Hannah Laing, Hannah Wants, Route 94, Sam Paganini, Green Velvet and more, credentials that underscore both her versatility and her credibility.
Her latest mix for We Are Active captures that duality with precision, bottling the momentum of her rise into a tight, high-energy hour. It opens with sleek tech-house rollers—clean, confident and subtly propulsive, before sliding into the kind of hard-house pumpers that have become her calling card on Irish dancefloors. The progression feels effortless. Dee’s pacing is instinctive, her transitions purposeful, shifting intensity without ever snapping the connective thread that holds the session together.
