Surely overdue for a thread of her own. Seeing her tonight, very much looking forward to that. And dropped a remix by somebody today, someone you might have heard of.

yeah a recent interview piece with Björk mentioned Shygirl booming from her car stereo. I found out about her from SOPHIE’s brilliant livestream mix HEAV3N SUSPENDED.

It is! One of my '22 faves. She does a lot of things well, the grooves are good and varied, she's a likable vocalist and she has some great lines.

^ Glad you enjoyed, I saw her live last year and had a blast.
Speaking of the Björk connection, Shygirl had a verse on a recent Sega Bodega remix of "Ovule":

And the two recently had a conversation for Dazed, which is a fun read:
S: I think we both DJ in a similar way – something about selecting and genre-blending, playing what we love in a playful way. We just appreciate music, and DJing is an outlet for that.B: I agree. I have been proudly calling myself the David Attenborough of DJs. I’m more like a musicologist – “I want to show you the little ant over here.” I’ll go from a Malaysian R&B track to a classical tune from upstate New York to some filthy trap songs from Paris. I like having them one after the other because each song becomes more itself.S: I think that’s where that label ‘futurism’ comes from, breaking those rules.B: BB is one of my favourites of your songs. What genre is that? Neuro trap?S: It’s got garage influences as well. I love when people ask me what genre the music is because that’s the last thing I think about.B: I love how genre-less it is. You mentioned listening to music while reading before – you’ve talked in interviews about wanting to embrace romantic novels in your music, like Tess of the d’Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy. Do you want to be the English rose? What are your favourite books? Do you like sci-fi?
