Shy One returns with Mali, her second album, released on Touching Bass, the label founded by Errol and Alex Rita. Named after her given name, Mali is a self-assured statement that places Black British electronic music and diasporic lineage at its core.
Shaped by the full spectrum of London sound she grew up with, the album brings together a vital cast of collaborators including George Riley, Steve Spacek, James Massiah and Private Joy. Across its arc, Mali moves fluidly between the immediacy of the dancefloor, the intimacy of after-hours spaces, and the connective tissue between them, reflecting a city and culture in constant motion.
Beyond the studio, Shy One is a globetrotting DJ and award-winning NTS host whose work has consistently bridged underground scenes and wider audiences. With releases on Eglo, Numbers, Rhythm Section and Beats In Space, high-profile remixes, and appearances at key international clubs and festivals, Mali firmly establishes her as one of London’s most distinctive contemporary voices.
