SHY FX

Legend, sound­man, DJ and all-round UK pion­eer Shy FX has released his eagerly anti­cip­ated Long Play­er, Rag­gamuffin SoundTape.

Boast­ing a broad spec­trum of guest spots from both estab­lished and upcom­ing artists — includ­ing Lily Allen, Cara Dele­v­ingne, Ghetts, Mav­er­ick Sabre, Gappy Ranks, Chronixx, Kojey Rad­ic­al (to name but a few) — Rag­gamuffin SoundTape fea­tures Radio 1 playl­ists ‘Roll The Dice’ ft. Stam­ina MC & Lily Allen, and recently released ‘Rudeby Lovesong’ ft. Sweetie Irie & Cara Dele­v­ingne. Full track­list­ing below.

 A con­tinu­ous piece of music by design, Rag­gamuffin SoundTape, flaw­lessly switches through Hip Hop, R ‘n’ B, Dance­hall, Break­beat and Jungle, to form an eclect­ic sound­scape that melds togeth­er seam­lessly into a sat­is­fy­ing whole. It is the first long play­er Shy FX has made that he feels truly rep­res­ents him as an artist:

“Everything fits togeth­er – its tight, it feels like one piece. The 15-year-old me would be overly gassed by this record — I wouldn’t have been able to ima­gine mak­ing all these genres, all these styles… And now I’m able to put it under the same name and it makes sense to people.” – Shy FX

Shy FX is one of the most influ­en­tial Brit­ish pro­du­cers of the past three dec­ades. From his ground-break­ing anthem ‘Ori­gin­al Nut­tah’ (which cata­pul­ted the jungle scene into main­stream cul­ture in the 9Os and cel­eb­rates its 25th anniversary this year), through his timely switch into dub­step, house and roots reg­gae, to his behind-the-scenes pro­duc­tion and remix work for Grime, Pop and R’n’B acts (e.g. Jorja Smith, Diz­zie Ras­cal, Wiley, Rag ‘n’ Bone Man, Emeli Sandé, Lon­don Gram­mar), Shy’s abil­ity to fuse sound­sys­tem cul­ture with elec­tron­ic futur­ism and clas­sic song­writ­ing has defined the music of suc­cess­ive generations.
