For a long time in 2007, the anonymous artist behind ‘How Pretentious’ was supported by John Digweed, Josh Wink, Dubfire, deadmau5, Nic Fanciulli and Mark Knight. Word spread the Adam Shaw was behind it and Adam’s name was on the tip of the top guys tongues.Keeping the original work coming, Adam was approached by deadmau5 to remix his single Alone With You. The project was completed and described as Adam’s best work to date – early support from Pete Tong, Sasha and Laurent Garnier is testament to his superlative production skills. Adam’s follow up on PH Zero was ‘How Pretentious’ and support was unprecedented. The track was played by Pete Tong, Dubfire, Deadmau5, John Digweed, Mark Knight, Nic Fanciulli, and every other major a-list DJ, and Adam was suddenly inundated with remix offers from the biggest labels in the industry.Since then Adam has released a new EP on Mau5trap Recordings, which gathered amazing support across Europe and in the States. January 2009 saw the release of Adam Shaw’s Far Cry EP on arguably the leading UK dance label Toolroom records. High profile gigs this year include Matter at the o2 arena, Toolroom Knights at Ministry of Sound and Air in Birmingham.Adam was awarded the prestigious accolade of Essential New Tune on Pete Tong’s Friday Night Show for “Engage”, his first release on CR2 records, followed up in with the huge Ibiza anthem cover, Needin U. Late 2009 also saw Adam mixing a cover CD for IDJ magazine for Spin Out records.As well as now establishing himself as a much sought after Studio Engineer in 2010, there is a new Toolroom EP on the horizon as well as his first release with Hysterical records in the coming months; Adam will also be collaborating with Dave Robertson (Reset Robot), Funkagenda, Kris Menace, James Talk and Tim Weeks to name a few. The widespread and accessible nature of Adams’ tunes are reflected in this variety of collaborators and once again reinforces that Adam plays by his own rules.As 2010 continues to roll on, keep a watchful eye on Adam Shaw – one of the finest new talents on the scene in many a year.
