Launched in 2005 by original 90s Jungle pioneer, Shy FX, Digital Soundboy quickly established itself as one of the UK s most exciting labels, its quality over quantity ethos making it a standard bearer for the UK s world leading bass music scene. With a back catalogue that includes some of the biggest club hits of the past ten years, including tracks from Skream, Benga, Redlight and Jess Mills, and a reputation for throwing the biggest parties around, Digital Soundboy s position in dance history is assured. Today the label s roster of Shy FX, Breakage, B.Traits, Youngman, Dismantle and Stamina MC are all successful artists in their own right, but first and foremost Digital Soundboy remains a family, one that plays, parties and produces together and together continues to break new ground.
“Shy, Breakage and myself all chose a number of tracks separately for the mix, then we worked on it together at the Digital Soundboy studio. We have a few fun exclusive dubs in there that I think really bring a personal touch to the mix.”

The first officially released Digital Soundboy mix, FABRICLIVE 63 perfectly captures the carnival spirit of the label and its parties. From drum n bass to dubstep, dancehall to garage, via excursions into house and beyond FABRICLIVE 63 showcases the Digital Soundboy crew s ability to bring together myriad genres and styles in the freshest way possible and create a pure party-starting selection. Mixed by Shy FX, B.Traits and Breakage, each separately choosing their favourite tracks before working on the mix together in the Digital Soundboy studio, FABRICLIVE 63 features a mix of exclusive dubs and upcoming releases from the Digital Soundboy family; tracks such as Zed Bias Heavy Water Riddim and Dismantle s Warp , classic anthems like Shy FX s Original Nuttah , and the unexpected such as M.A.N.D.Y vs Booka Shade Body Language . An inspired selection that will put a smile on many a face and a bounce in your step, FABRICLIVE 63 ducks and weaves its way across the musical spectrum, and like the label itself, refuses to be pigeonholed
