Australian DJ and producer Charlie Shell delivers, 'Hitz 4 The Hood', one of the biggest tunes in UKG this year.
Released last month, the single flew into the #1 spot on Beatport and racking up 130k streams a week with no sign of slowing down.
Throughout his schooling life, Charlie kept his electronic music interests private while he spent time progressing through the grades of classical piano and alto saxophone. It wasn’t until 2023, after several bootlegs & hundreds of abandoned projects, that Charlie felt motivated to kickstart his project with a self-released album titled Carpe Diem. He discovered a particular affection for the forward-thinking attitude of the UK underground after spending nine months in Newcastle-upon-Tyne from September 2023 to soak up the scene, playing supporting acts for household names such as BAKEY, Tommy Villiers & Sophia Violet.
