Shadow Child’s 23 EP represents high point for UK garage and bass
Dave Spoon has made it pretty clear in 2012 that Shadow Child is not just a side project anymore. Spoon made his debut under the Shadow Child veil in March of this year with the release of "String Thing" on Dirtybird Records (you may also recognize it from Eats Everything's Essential Mix). Shadow Child's sound is a spot on representation of the UK garage and bass sound that has dominated much of our beloved industry in 2012. Earlier this week, he released a four part EP, 23, on Food Music, a label he shares with Kry Wolf, Tom Flynn, Hannah Wants, and James Talk.

In turn, the producers and DJs lucky enough to perform for these discerning crowds only have multitudes of praise to give about the planning, atmosphere, and originality of the events. Hear what names like Skream, Diplo, Four Tet, Nicolas Jaar, AlunaGeorge, and Scuba have to say about the experience.
