Anyway can we have a Shift K3y specific thread, I feel like the uk dance pop interzone thread isn't quite on point for it. Let's talk about Shift K3y! Shift K3y.

"make it good" is great

Yeah that's def. one of the highlights

On a similar tip, Taiki & Nulight!!

wasnt until dj q's recent mashup explicitly demonstrated it that i finally clocked 'touch' interpolates teedra 'be your girl' - duh!!

(quite happy to contend that lorenzo's remix of the same is one of the greatest remixes of all time btw)

think it's very k3y at this point that we receive official clarification on detective andy k's case that dude is a scion of chaz jankel

i'm calling this the post-disclosure blue eyed garage revival's "nice & slow"

hah this is why i specifically singled u out for that tune (might personally qualify it with the 'nice & slow' bass mix or really anything from the fin de siecle florida boy bands but yeah)

No argument from me. That bit where the hot iron pincers first emerge from the wall is almost certain to be the best moment in any mix in which it appears.

Will forever read this thread title as Shift K3v

More clarification here:

http://www.tramlines.org.uk/artist/shift-k3y/

He’d made his performance debut aged 6, fronting The Blockheads on a live session for Radio Two, after telling his dad – Chas Jankel, the late Ian Dury’s most celebrated musical foil – that he could do a better job of filling in for the recently deceased Dury than him. “When Ian Dury died, the Blockheads were going to do a Live Lounge thing on the radio, and they didn’t have a singer, and my dad was going to sing. I was really rude, said to my dad, “you don’t sound anything like him, how is this going to work?” As a joke, my dad said “well do you want to do it?” and I went “yeah, why not.” It was two days away. I went into my room and learnt ‘Reasons To Be Cheerful,’ learnt the keyboard part and the guitar solo on the piano and all the words and we did it. I had no idea, but I was just thrown in right at the deep end, and I handled it and I didn’t make any mistakes.”

Amazing since he's precisely what you (OK, maybe not YOU)'d imagine a young modern version of Chaz Jankel to be like.

"make it good" is great

Bears repeating.

so ´I know´ is gonna be the next single, great choice.

sdkghiusjleijflie @ shift k3y being chaz jankels kid, wow

hanging out w/ dj mustard :D http://instagram.com/p/qHiiTOKw98/

radio edit of new single https://soundcloud.com/shift-key/i-know

That amazing Cassie edit reminds me in the best way of the old garage mix of Monie Love's "Slice of da Pie".

I love the MK - "Burning" vibes on the new one too.

And "Touch" is like the second coming of Craig David/Artful Dodger - again, in the best way possible.

(there have probably been a number of second comings I'm forgetting/unaware of - and no, not Drake)

Also, this mix all day long: https://soundcloud.com/shift-key/guest-mix-for-skream-and-benga

i was pleased this week when my phone notified me that shifty had added nsync 'girlfriend' to his spotify playlist

https://open.spotify.com/user/shiftk3y/playlist/4pvkk4jcVLqqGoP1sjm54u

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrWJNCHCEdk

on that note

pointing this out itt is v rude but hey needs must

written by croid david, as the ending suggests

perhaps someone will recall my mentioning a miami-ukg nuum

shit i love this lol

ha i def filed it str8 into the jordan out-tray. total jam tho

u may like to also check out this other guy on the come up, i havent rly bothered to sift but he is seemingly a jamie woon reboot acquainted with shifty & mnek

https://soundcloud.com/leokalyan

he features on tcts 'thinking about you' which is fucken flames (https://youtu.be/lHBfNlrSxGY) but not in this thread's remit imo

https://soundcloud.com/shift-key/2-doors-1

VIBES

long live robin thicke

plz stop helping con artists extort money from everyday people

https://www.facebook.com/dynmk/videos/1003823312984995/?refid=52

not letting u spoil this for me either

my man shifty just turned from frog to prince, babyface is weeping tears of joy, where yall at

it's p cool

i for one like it

The new Jamie Woon song is so good.

He was never any frog.

I prefer his other new track tbh: https://soundcloud.com/shift-key/crying-in-my-sleep-feat-andrea

fuuuuuuuuck yeessssssssssssssss http://www.idolator.com/7605731/shift-k3y-beep-beep-idolator-premiere

this is so good

Love it, like an updated "My Boo"

the dude's released like several great singles this year jeez

yeah it does have a bass-y skip to it xp

v good

Also, the opening chords are exactly "Between the Sheets"/"BIG Poppa".

dj q's been caning this new one, rightly so

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quPVWKgvbQA

i don't like that one as much as "name & number" or "beep beep" but glad he's back on the charts again

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qe2OmTTO1QM

'2 doors' still the thug anthem idc

this remix of troye sivan "youth" that's only on spotify for some reason is kinda dodgy i think which is a shame cuz what he does with the verses is cool

https://open.spotify.com/track/4X10uQc0NDDyIsr832Wa6Y

this is fun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jOI-STK6qU

https://soundcloud.com/not3sofficial/just-fine-shift-k3y-remix

oh fuck yeah. thanks for posting this

it's good!

just popping in to say that "touch" and "name & number" are still in best music ever recorded territory for me

and "beep beep" !

my heart is going beep beep
you've got me so deep deep
i know i've gotta leave leave
you make it hard for me to breathe breathe

what perfect pop lyricism

this revive was inspired by this amazing song "magnetic" by the kpop group ILLIT which shares a lot in sound & spirit w/ those early shift k3y songs
