  • New York-based Skyshaker, AKA Sky LaBeija, has remixed SVBKVLT artists on a new album. Spanning ten tracks, the digital-only Novox 10 arrives on November 26th. It includes reinterpretations of Prettybwoy, Faded Ghost, Scintii, 33EMYBW, Gabber Modus Operandi, Hyph11E and other regulars on the eight year-old Shanghai label. The release is "a collection of electronic music commemorating a decade of Black voices silenced by anti-Black racism and xenophobia," Skyshaker described in a statement. "The Black experience remains an inspirational cornerstone of popular music worldwide, yet Black artists with deeper skin color remain doubted, dismissed and uncompensated," the artist continued. "Popular music in Asia is no exception, as fair-skinned Asian artists rise to superstardom and financial prosperity off the backs of Black artistry and Black suffering. Novox 10 is emerging in Shanghai to navigate beyond that contempt into places of autonomy, authority, solidarity, and commitment towards the shaping of worlds in which Black people best fit." Skyshaker, real name is Nicholas Pitts, is a ballroom producer and historian affiliated with Qween Beat, NON, Futurehood and GHE20GOTH1K. They commemorate a decade of remixes as Skyshaker with the release of Novox 10. Listen to their take on Hyph11E's "Escapism."
