London's own Shy One is back, announcing her signing to the respected South London label Touching Bass alongside the release of her new single, 'Nort Wess'.
As with many young Londoners at the time, grime and the wider family of indigenous London club music was what gave Shy One the passion to pursue music as more than a pastime. Obsessively collecting white labels by some of her local production heroes quickly developed into obsessively making beats in Fruity Loops for a handful of local MCs bubbling up in Harrow, the North West London borough she grew up in.
'Nort Wess' nods to this history and showcases the breadth and scope of Shy One's sonic vision - blending the diverse sounds and influences of her hometown - where she started off DJing on pirate radio as a teenager - into an infectious, club-ready anthem.
