Mali Larrington-Nelson AKA Shy One lives and breathes the eclecticism and diversity of her DJ sets and productions. Having started off DJing on community radio at 13 years old, Shy One has been exposed to and influenced by the full spectrum of sounds her hometown of London has birthed and nurtured over the years. As with many teenage 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.
Since her initial releases with Scratcha, Shy One has continued to grow as an artist and diversify further into a somewhat undefinable sound that’s origins are undoubtedly London but take in a huge variety of musical cultures, from hip-hop and jazz to house music and West London’s own brokenbeat movement – all of which are well represented on her various radio shows across stations like Balamii, NTS and Rinse FM.
Now, Shy One presents her long awaited second album 'Mali' on Touching Bass. Across 10 tracks, her production prowess meets a now-finely tuned grip on sonic storytelling. Crafted alongside a powerful cast of Black British collaborators: photography from Ronan McKenzie and tightly mixed by CDR head honcho and educator, Tony Nwachukwu, plus album features from George Riley, Steve Spacek, Private Joy on the soulful “Moonlight” and James Massiah on “16 Hours”, which bops through a fitting celebration of the party and the afters.
