Whether it's raw, teeth-crunching jungle or silky, melodious drum & bass like new one "Call Me" with Maverick Sabre, there's something indefinable that you can recognise in every single Shy FX production. As close as Shy has ever gotten to pop music, the Maverick Sabre-assisted new single has arrived today with a highly polished video that could quite easily send the track into the charts, while retaining every bit of artistic integrity. Fleeting images of a girl running carefree (at least initially) through her block are intertwined with blue and red-lit shots of Mav belting out his typically stunning vocals. It has mainstream appeal, for sure, but this is still underground Shy FX through and through.

Of the video's creation, Shy explained to Complex via email: "We shot the party scene in the late night hours with director Chas Appeti in this amazing disused warehouse in Bow, which ended up turning into a rave. Big up to everyone involved who were with us 'til 5am Monday morning."
