MUMBAI: Shadow Child unveils brand new track on his label Food Music, titled Ooh Tune, set to drop 15 September. The production has so far gained heavy support from some of the biggest names in the dance music world, including radio support from Annie Mac, MistaJam and Danny Howard, with Eats Everything frequently spinning the release in his DJ sets.
"This is something we debuted on this show on our First Played section, new from Shadow Child. He has smashed this track, it's called Ooh Tune," says Annie Mac.
Showcasing his versatility as a producer, Shadow Child adopts a dark tone on OohTune, before bursting into a piano led melody, pierced by drum-heavy bass line and cymbal clad breakdown.
An influential tastemaker in the world of dance, his Food Music label, set up in unison with close friend Kry Wolf, provides a home for his productions, whilst outside of the studio, Shadow Child also hosts a weekly slot on Rinse FM playing the best in house and techno every Wednesday from 9 pm to 11pm, featuring tracks from the likes of Dusky, Andrea Oliva and Jamie Jones.
His 2016 Connected album, released last October, was met with critical acclaim. With the 11-track release featuring a host of collaborations including Bodhi, T Williams, Huxley, Ben Pearce, S.P.Y, Ashworth and Supertanker. The album included Shadow Child staples Steak Finger’, his much-lauded remix of Future Sound Of London’s Papua New Guinea, his mix of Jaydee’s Plastic Dreams, as well as 'Um' - his electro-tinged club hit heavily supported also by BBC Radio 1’s Annie Mac. The album precedes Shadow Child’s mighty ReConnected production on Food Music, featuring remixes from esteemed company such as MJ Cole and Bodhi.
2017 has so far seen the UK producer tour relentlessly with a string of Ibiza dates at the likes of Defected in the House at Eden, and Creamfields at Privilege. On UK soil, he has played the huge Elrow event at London’s Olympic Park in August, Fabric, XOYO, and will also perform at Manchester’s Warehouse Project in September.
Famed for his dynamic, carefully curated shape, Shadow Child’s signature style has made his sets some of the most eclectic, individual and unpredictable on the scene, building an insatiably large and dedicated fan-base in the process. With an exciting new era ahead for Shadow Child, Ooh Tune is a clear display that whatever changes occur, the fun throwback vibe will always remains in his music.
