Shy FX and Skibadee! Fri Jan 27th!! Richards on Richards
Silverwaters & Kitz productions
present....... Friday Jan 27th SHY FX UK Ebony Records, Contagious Musiq Shy FX crashed the British pop charts in mid-1994 with "Original Nuttah," one of the most infectious ragga/jungle anthems of all time. Though the success proved a bit too much for him, he built his reputation back over the course of a few years and became one of jungle's most respected producers. Born in East London, Andre Williams debuted on S.O.U.R. Records (Sound of the Underground) with two 1994 singles, "Gangsta Kid" and "Sound of the Beast." His third for the label, "Original Nuttah," perfectly epitomized jungle's growing ragga-ruffneck style, with a light-speed rhythm track and rude-boy scatting from UK Apachi. Almost immediately after its release, the single ignited dance clubs, flew out of the stores, and eventually made the British charts. The quick success did little to endear Shy FX with the jungle underground, and his later pronouncements that he was the king of jungle didn't help either. Shy FX released just one more single for S.O.U.R., then virtually disappeared for several years after a major-label deal fell through. He finally emerged at the helm of his own label, Ebony, and with a growing list of tight singles like "The Message" and "Bambaataa," kinetic jump-up fusions of ragga attitude and old-school hip-hop themes. Shy FX also set up another label, Ivory, to release steady rollers by the likes of the 45 Roller -- almost undoubtedly Shy himself despite protests to the contrary. MC SKIBADEE UK www.skibadee.com A Drum n Bass legend, Skibadee has revolutionized the dance music genre. His customized jungle chants and rapid fire lyricism has inspired a generation of MC's and rappers his sogans like "Deal with the Matter!" and "Super S with the K" are religously recited by adoring fans. With a world wide following stretching as far as Estonia, Australia, Canada and the US, has the world at his feet. But a closer look at phenomenom reveals and very caring and humble man. It also reveals a very smart and prosperous individual with his own production label Platinum Performers and an in house team producing his clothing line. He is also an artist not afraid to explore other musical avenues with the likes of Canibus, Shy FX, Curtis Lynch Jr. and Pressure Drop to name a few.
