"Breakage aka James Boyle is perhaps the most prodigious talent in the fast-moving world of British dance music. After his slew of successful remixes, his star is shining bright over his South Bank studio, and he felt it was time to put out a piece of 100% Breakage material. And in true Boyle style it's a track that doesn't allow itself to be pinned down. Part trance, part progressive house, part dubstep, it's a track that defies categorization while remaining resolutely Breakage in sound. Featuring the enigmatic vocals of Jess Mills, it's the magic combination of James's punchy production and Jess's cinematic vocal performance, which makes the track as powerful on your headphones as it does in the club. Look out for plenty more from these 2 throughout the year as James is adding his production to her debut album for Island Records. An exciting prospect indeed. Also check for a heavy remix from Foamo & Ram Records duo Loadstar."

"One of the major names in the world of dubstep, producer Benga was born Beni Uthman in East London. His parents eventually moved to the suburb of Croydon, where a young Benga would fiddle with his radio every night, looking for pirate radio stations and taking in all sorts of fringe music. He first began making tracks on his PlayStation game system, then graduated to digital audio workstation Fruity Loops when his parents bought him a computer. Hearing the dark work of 2-step producer Wookie inspired him to join part of the grime/garage scene that would eventually evolve into dubstep. Stop Watching/Little Bits is his debut on Shy FX's hot Digital Soundboy imprint and is already a firm favourite in all the leading DJ boxes including Zane Lowe, Mista Jam, Skream, N-Type, Hatcha, Breakage and even the legendary Lee Scratch Perry!"

"Donae'o aka Ian Greenidge was always destined to make a career out of music after growing up in a house where melodies were a major force. During his teens, Donae'o would release a few singles, most notably Fallin' and Bounce on various imprints. Both singles made an impact on the underground, with Bounce winning an award for Best Live P.A at the People' Choi Awards in 2003. All of this set the foundations for Donae'o's future success. A few years later an older, wiser and more business savy Donae'o penned a tune called 'Devil In A Blue Dress,' and was to kick-start his career once again and have a major impact on the UK underground. From 'Devil In A Blue Dress,' came his critically acclaimed Party Hard album, an mixture of beats, rich with his trademark heavy soulless and killer choruses. The lead single off the album, also called 'Party Hard,' became a massive hit in the clubs and on specialist radio, winning him champions across the board and throughout the British music press. 'Riot Music' was never released as a single, but in Novemer 2009, Zane Lowe surprisingly picked up on the track, making it his 'Hottest Record In The Universe' and continuing to support it over the following months. The interest and buzz has continued to build, and in early Dec 2009, 'Riot Music' was pulled from the digital bundle of the Party Hard album and signed to Shy FX's Digital Soundboy label. Since then, Shy has tweaked the radio mix and also roped in none other than Skream and The Nextmen for some remix pressure. Already a favourite with Zane Lowe, Annie Mac and Mista Jam, and continuing to win supports across the board, 'Riot Music' is set to be one of THE big records for 2010!"

"Breakage aka James Boyle has never been one to be pigeonholed. Moving effortlessly through styles from drum and bass to dubstep, Breakage has proven himself to be one of the most versatile operators in either scene to date. A prodigious talent, he already has a number of classic releases under his belt but continues to develop his sound. Combining rich tones and a sense of spaciousness in the mix, Breakage's music is both subtle yet devastatingly effective. Breakage explores new ground on this bold and bashy release, giving us the perfect insight into the direction of his new album." Featuring Newham Generals and David Rodigan and a remix by Caspa & The Others.

"Having been releasing music since 2001 with over 40 productions and remixes to his name, Breakage, aka James Boyle, cut his teeth a long time ago and is widely regarded as one of the most talented producers in dubstep and drum n bass today. Acting almost as a double A-side, both 'Run Em Out' and 'Higher' show the range in sounds that Breakage is capable of. 'Run Em Out' featuring the unmistakable vocals from the legendary Roots Manuva, is a future anthem in the making, with a drum n bass tempo but without a big drop, its the brooding sense of attitude and rhythm that come to the fore. Without doubt a huge record that will be stuck in your head for days. 'Higher' on the flip is a dubstep battle weapon to challenge the very best, a massive bass-heavy workout with a breakdown that goes on and on, then finally kicks back in with that famous looped sample, literally taking you higher and higher."

"When Skream came up with his 'Lets Get Ravey' version of La Roux's 'In For The Kill,' he was inspired by the sound of early '80s rave days, and for his first contribution to Shy FX's Digital Soundboy label, the Croydon producer takes his homage further into jungle territory. 'Burnin Up' has got it all: female vocal sample, mid tempo amen breaks, booming bassline all combined to perfection, with an awesome switch half way. Skream has lovingly updated the exhilarating sound of early jungle to stunning results. If 'Burnin Up' is a tribute to jungle's debut, 'Memories of 3rd Base' is all about the birth of dubstep. A highly potent minimalist groove with technoid blips and mutating sub bass, it pays tribute to the club that shaped the scene in the mid '00s. With artists like Benny Page and Breakage constantly producing genre defying music, and high flying contributions by Caspa and Skream, DSB offers a unique insight into the incredible talent of the UK Urban scene."

"Digital Soundboy is proud to present DJ Fresh's debut production for Shy Fx's label. Taken from the forthcoming album Kryptonite, this is the first single from the new studio album by DJ Fresh. 'Heavyweight' by name, heavyweight by nature, this track is arguably the biggest tune of the year so far. Once again, Fresh has maximized his talent for massive, unforgettable hooks and shows why he is one of the most talented producers of his generation. Percussive vintage breaks and a looping bassline give 'Heavyweight' an instant impact. The clever addition of quirky vocal samples, deep percussions and bass stabs keeps the track rolling throughout. A smart revamping of classic vibes result in the equally impressive 'Fantasia'; a frenetic slice of vintage jungle complete with diva-esque vocals taking you right back to the legendary Fantazia raves of the early '90s."

"When spotted by Shy Fx as an act for his fledging Digital Soundboy imprint, Breakage was already one of the most groundbreaking drum and bass producers around. He has since confirmed his status with a few devastating releases that have put him in a league of his own. Already famed for his deep, experimental electronica-laced drum and bass, Breakage has spent the last couple of years building the bridge between two of the UK's most fascinating scenes, drum and bass and dubstep. His first hybrid track, 'Clarendon' released in 2007 to unanimous critical acclaim, was followed by his first venture into pure dubstep territory, 'Callahan,' confirming his status as one of dubstep most promising stars. Now, Breakage is unleashing a taster of an album to come late 2009 with this new single, where he offers a unique take on the dub sound, stripping it down to dramatic effects, with eerie atmospherics and breath holding timing. 'Together' features vocals by sound system giant Rodigan like you have never heard him before. On the flip the equally impressive 'Rain' laces its minimalist dub with electronica touches and melancholic vocal samples."

"Shy FX's Digital Soundboy label is growing into a major force in cutting edge urban circles. Not only does the label release the catchiest and most cutting edge drum and bass, but is turning into a force to be reckoned with in dubstep circles. Enter Caspa: part time junglist and hip-hop fan who discovered dubstep as the scene started and blossomed, releasing landmark tunes such as 'Rubber Chicken' in 2005, where he first used what is now his trademark bass line. Recently teaming up with Rusko for the 37th Fabric Live mix and other projects, he is behind the awesome remix of TC's drum and bass hit 'Where's My Money.' Caspa joins the Digital Soundboy crew with this explosive 12". 'Floor Dem' has a strong old school jungle flava, dominated by oppressive beats and deep, morphing bass. 'My Pet Monster' is a variation on Caspa's trademark malevolent bass sound cascading throughout, creating a hypnotic, yet unsettling groove."

"Shy FX's Digital Soundboy continues its adventure in cutting edge urban sounds with this new 12" by Benny Page. Since signing to the label, Benny Page has been tipped as one of the most promising producers of his generation, and recently won best breakthrough at the drum and bass awards. His production style draws heavily from the rough and catchy vibes of early jungle, and his inspiration knows no boundaries. Having experimented with dubstep like his label mate Breakage, Benny Page is already championed by the likes of Youngsta, Benga, Skream, Fabio & Mistajam with his music gracing the dancefloor of cutting edge nights such as RWD and DMZ well before this first release. 'Step Out' is a potent concoction of shuffling beats, dirty cascading bass, spooky samples and gigantic atmospheres, while 'Swagger' is all sharp beats, menacing b-line, chilling strings and militant vocal samples."
