Shy Cookie

Shy Cookie is best known for production work, The House & Garage Orchestra as well as for working with MOBO Award Winners DJ Luck, MC Neat. Shy Cookie has been producing hit UK Garage music since 1998 (debuting with a remix of ‘El Paradiso Rico’ - released as a DJ Luck and MC Neat track).

Shy Cookie stopped releasing music in 2004, but returned fully in 2013/14 with a focus of establishing himself as more than just a ghost producer and ‘underground DJ’. The production company A.I was set up with business partner Ishmael Hamilton so Shy could launch himself as an independent producer/engineer.

Since 2018, he has completed three sold out UK tours with the orchestra most recently at a rammed Brixton O2 Academy in 2022. Not only is he Co-founder of THGO, he is the official host and DJ, responsible for the creative direction and show production.
