David Shaw and the Beat

Sobre

Born in Manchester, Parisian for many years and now living in Brussels, the musician and producer David Shaw is rarely where we expect him. First a member of Blackstrobe (on guitars, bass & keys) alongside Arnaud Rebotini and Ivan Smagghe, he became independent with David Shaw And The Beat's first album, So It Goes, a personal manifesto of a vocal techno tinged with new wave. With the Jenks album of his DBFC project (with Dombrance), and the long tour that followed, he confirmed his desire to explode the chapels and play urgent music that belongs to him alone. One foot in the punk electricity, and another in club hedonism (he also collaborated with Jennifer Cardini with their side project Cardini & Shaw « In The Ballroom » Ep, and Vitalic “Waiting For The Stars » and produced some electronic & techno EPs under the alias Siskid), Shaw is writing today a new page with this new single Please Please Please. He still carries with him the initial shock of the discovery of the first raves in England as a teenager and this almost limitless need to create a space of freedom that is expressed in a writing that borrows from other cultures (punk or garage). David Shaw and The Beat remains true to himself but pushes his creative approach in the red.
