Shy FX is without question one of the original pioneers of the Jungle and drum and bass scenes and a true innovator for dance music across  the globe. His career has spanned almost 20 years, cementing his name in both underground and mainstream folk-law. Shy continues to maintain his legendary status, true to his art-form and staying relevant and at the forefront of eclectic dance music.

Having released countless classics over the year including the massive 90’s  anthems  ‘Original Nuttah’ and‘Bambaataa’, Shy has  gone on to put out over 350 releases  including the chart smash ‘Shake Your Body’ (which reached no. 7 in the national chart), ‘Don’t Wanna Know’ and his `Diary Of A Digital Soundboy’ album to name only a few. He’s worked with a vast list of talented artists over the years including Dizzee Rascal, Wiley, Get Cape Wear Cape Fly, UK Apache and has remixed the likes of Lily Allen, David Guetta and more recently Plan B, Tinie Tempah and Magnetic Man.

2010 has  seen Shy’s  label Digital Soundboy go from strength to strength with massive releases from Breakage, Skream, Benga, Redlight, Marky & more, and now its the turn of the label’s very own ‘Digi Boss’.

Following on from his  production on Wiley & Naughty Boy’s ‘Never Be Your Woman’ single (which charted at no. 9 in Feb 2010), ‘Raver’ is  the street single and debut offering from his  forthcoming studio album ‘Larger Than Life’, due for release in 2011. Featuring lead vocals from Kano and Donae’o, alongside Roses Gabor (of Gorillaz fame), the track has already received heavy rotation from the likes  of Zane Lowe, Annie Mac, Mista Jam, Toddla T, Grooverider, Fabio and many more across  all genres of dance music. ‘Raver’ also comes complete with remixes from MJ Cole,Breakage & Benny Page, not to mention Shy’s very own superb ‘Guiness Punch mix’.

Shy’s next album promises to be his best yet, featuring a cast of amazing vocal talents and surprise guests, 2010 see’s the original Soundboy step forward once again.
