SHY GUYS

SHY GUYS are twin music producers and DJs from Austin, Texas who specialize in creating fun and experimental dance music with a lo-fi, energetic sound that has been described as “dance-y, heavy, somehow even otherworldly.” Starting in the Fall of 2010, the twin brother duo have reached to many inspirations – from chiptune and soundfonts, to dance music and musical theory, to arcades and anime – all in order to create a playful and original sound, and to encapsulate their passions.

From building upon this sound, SHY GUYS have released on physical label shelf____, as well as having reoccurring involvement in netlabel DESKPOP. SHY GUYS’ first EP “Interstellar Adventure” was featured on DJ Cutman’s popular online show “This Week In Chiptune,” as well as appearing on other occasions for their remixes and singles.

Along with performing for house parties, events, and online shows, SHY GUYS have befriended and worked side-by-side with local Austin artists (namely lo-fi bass music/chiptune artist IAYD), as well as several artists across the nation and overseas.  SHY GUYS' micro-release “BUBBLE // SPLASH” was featured on online fashion blog TOASTYCO.AV, as well it being mentioned - along with their remix of Maxo’s “Reach You” - on Japanese dance music blog FUTURE TRAX, calling them “rising star producers”, as well as describing their sound as “very trendy!”

SHY GUYS' music production is also accompanied by a wide variety of musical tastes, which they express through their mixes. From heavy dance bangers, to jazzy wave jams, to hyper uptempo nightcore, SHY GUYS always aim to mix in the most prominent and dominating internet and dance music genres together in a cohesive , fun sound.
