Druidz by nickname & Tim Shiel

An unofficial ode to both new school breaks and old school UK hardcore, Druidz sees two of Naarm/Melbourne’s most meticulous sonic architects unite in the creation of a precision dance-floor weapon.

Emerging out of the constituent parts of Tim Shiel’s 2022 single Jacked Druids, Druidz became much more that a simple rework once it was in the hands of emerging junglist/breaks specialist nickname.

nickname chiselled the charm right off of Tim Shiel’s original, reshaping its components with surgical precision into a laser-focused piece of ammunition for adventurous bass-hungry DJs.

Druidz is the first taste of Tim Shiel’s forthcoming album Distractions Two: Variants - the fourth volume in his continuing Distraction Season series.

Human who makes music. You might know me from that thing.
