A cheeky DJ who starred on BBC Radio 1 has gone viral after he held wild unauthorised raves on a bus, a train, a ferry and even B&Q. Shakeil Luciano - known as Schak - travelled on multiple forms of transport holding secret DJ sets around his home city of Newcastle. The 30-year-old Geordie left commuters shocked when he took over a double-decker bus to set up his decks along with a sound system and lights. Footage shows ravers partying on the top deck of the 308 Arriva bus service as it travelled through the city centre. Another video shows Schak and his pals piling into a Metro train carriage before partying as it pulled into St James’ Park station. Schak donned a fake hi-vis Metro train staff uniform before launching into the secret dance party. Videos of his unathorised raves have gone viral, with more than 100,000 people viewing and sharing them online. In his latest video, Schak is seen hopping on a ferry and travelling down the Tyne as he blasts his music along the river. Last month, he also held a three-minute rave in a showroom B&Q kitchen where he had to smuggle his decks into the store in black bin bags. The North Shields DJ said the whole experience has been “awesome”. He said: “I planned the events with friends, but the Metro and bus company didn’t know about it. “I was very grateful to everyone who took their time out of their day to come and participate. “They were all buzzing. “The buzz you get from doing that I felt like I was playing Glastonbury main stage. “It has never been done before and it was such a buzz, I loved it. “The B&Q set was the hardest one to film, but I managed to pull it off. “I put my decks and speaker in black bags and pushed them into the store in a trolley and wheeled them in. “All my mates pretended to be shopping and then as soon as the I started playing the tune, they all descended into the kitchen. “In B&Q they asked us to leave but, on the Metro, the driver thought it was funny and he just told us to get off and he offered to take us back to the stop we got on at. “The bus driver never said anything, and he didn’t stop the bus, so he didn’t have a problem with it. “On the ferry, the captain came and shook my hand and wished my luck when I finished the set.” Two weeks ago, he released his new track, “Moving All Around (Jumpin’)”, which is currently number one on SoundCloud. Nexus, which runs the Metro and the Shields Ferry, condemned the raves, saying they were a “prank”. A spokesperson said: “This was clearly a prank that was carried out as a flash mob style performance without obtaining any prior permission. “The stunt seemed to take place extremely quickly on board a Metro train heading into Newcastle, and more recently on the upper deck of the cross-Tyne Shields Ferry service after the group had boarded normally as fare paying passengers. “The nature of these performances could well have caused alarm or distress to other people.” Arriva said they were investigating the DJ’s raves.
