Due for release soon, to pre-order please contact us info@conch.co.nz
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 release over 350 releases including the chart smash ‘Shake Your Body’ (which reached no. 7 in the national chart), as well as ‘Don’t Wanna Know’, ‘Murderation’, ‘The Message’, ‘Everyday’, ‘Feelings’, 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, Elisabeth Troy, Top Cat and more, and has remixed the likes of Lily Allen, David Guetta, Shabba Ranks 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. Raver comes complete with remixes from MJ Cole & Benny Page, but on this ltd edition 10” press we give you Shy’s very own superb dubby ‘Guiness Punch mix’ and Breakage’s retrospective ‘Pattern Moschino remix’ for the original jungle heads! Its a limited run so grab them while you can! The original Soundboy steps forward once again.

Comes with poster and sticker sheet!
This is the debut album of original music from one of the original turntablists, the longtime DJ for Madlib and the late J Dilla, and our pick for world’s greatest hip-hop DJ.
But this is not a “DJ album”. Not a “beat album”. Not a mix tape. This is an original work of instrumental hip-hop ... electronic music ... dance music ... smoke tracks ... assorted cold rock stuff.
J. Rocc first made his name as co-founder of The World Famous Beat Junkies in the 1990s with Rhettmatic, Melo D, DJ Babu and Shortkut, becoming a seminal force in the rise of turntablism and instrumental hip-hop. He went on to host The Fantastic Four Radio show on L.A.’s Power 106, perform as the third member of Madlib & J Dilla’s Jaylib, and tour the world as a solo artist, DJ and producer. Some Cold Rock Stuf also contains a “mystery disc”, one of three mystery discs included in different copies of the album. No track list is provided for the “mystery disc” and the CD label does not distinguish one mystery disc from the other.
The vinyl release is a 3/LP set - album and mystery disc - with a triple gatefold, double sided poster, and sticker sheet. The CD is double disc (album and mystery disc) packaged in a custom-made 12-panel digipack. Album illustration by Gustavo Eandi, design by Jeff Jank. Photo of J Dilla & J. Rocc by Egon, circa 2005.
