About the Team
Brandon "Shimmy" Shimkus
Owner & Operator
"I come from a non musical background, but was always around EDM events starting around Jan of 2017. I had a passion for thick bass and getting to know my community and meeting new people. EDM has always given me an outlet to really get to know myself, something I was never good at. I went to Purdue University for many types of Engineering but never found my passion. In my Super Senior year I decided to dropout and pursue my own business, owning an operating my very own HSD Rig. The idea came from watching Ronin in Chicago expand and be super successful, especially at Wakaan Fest 2019. I ordered the system on New Years 2021 and moved down to Florida the following February with my girlfriend Paige. I had no idea what I was doing, had no idea how to even work the system, I just knew this is what I was meant to do. To date I have learned a lot with the help of those around me and am very grateful of where I am today. I am almost on my 2nd year of owning the system and every event we operate gets smoother and smoother! I have a great team behind me and I am appreciative of all their hard work in helping me accomplish my dreams!"
Chandler "Moonglue" Willits
Audio Tech & Dublorde
I (Brandon) met Chandler in Fort Myers, FL at a small Wub Wedneday event held by the local scene. Right off the bat we got along well and knew Chandler was interested in getting into the EDM scene. I told him about my HSD rig and he was immediately ready to help. He would take off work and help me set up and operate the system. Chandler had the background in Sound that i was looking for, that being years of production experience and classically trained ears. His favorite Genre is 140/Deep Dub and produces music under the name Moonglue. He was my first employee and to this day focuses more on Audio Teching with plans to become a full Audio Engineer in the future. Chandler loves what he does and it shows.
Joseph "JoeNotJoe" Conner
Operator, Bookings & Logistics
Joseph was one of my best friends at Purdue where I met him. In the early days of me going out to events and partying, he was always right there with me. We would kickback, chill out, and think about what we wanted to do in the future. We knew we both wanted to be Entrepreneurs and had the idea of a company called "Big Chillin" but didn't know what it would be. He attended Wakaan 2019 with me and that's when we knew what it would become, and audio company. Once I (Brandon) decided to stop attending Purdue and move, Joseph stayed in Indiana for his Job. After about a year of working the HSD rig with Chandler, I convinced Joe to quit his job and join me in Florida, so we could reunite once again! He didn't Hesitate. Now he helps me manage Big Chillin and plan our future scaling and endevors. The man is hardworking, dedicated, and ready to start Chapter 2!
