Smiley, Pj, Dj Daddy & Dj Hype built a sound system called Heatwave. They broke into many buildings to start their own illegal raves back in 1986. Smiley & Pj were rappers on the sound system but were also trying to get a record deal. No one would sign them up, and so they started their own label, Shut Up And Dance Music. The name coming from the title of one of the songs on their demo tape.
Their first release was a track titled 5,6,7,8, which was sold straight out of the boot of PjтАЩs ford escort, with follow ups such as £10.00 To Get In, £20.00 To Get In, Lamborghini, & Derek Went Mad (Dance Before The Police Come-Album) which were all massive underground anthems. The follow up album Death Is Not The End contained such monsters as, Raving Im Raving & The Green Man. Success brought expansion, and expansion brought artistтАЩs such as The Ragga Twins (Reggae Owes Me Money-Album), Nicolette (Now Is Early-Album), Rum & Black (Without Ice-Album), Peter Bouncer, And AdтАЩe to name a few. All the above artist were produced by Shut Up & Dance (aka Smiley & Pj) and soon other artist were signed to the label who produced their own music. Codine , Mc Duke, Cedrick Winkelburger etc.
Smiley & Pj also started other labels, such as the Redlight label (Drum & Bass), Ruff Quality (Experimental Breaks), & the more recent New Deal Recordings which is a 2 Step/Garage breakbeat outlet responsible for such classics as True Vip & Holdtight.The SUAD label being the foundation which holds it all together, recently releasing one of their biggest tunes to date No Doubt.
Having Djayed for most of their lives, travelling the world on a regular basis, spreading their Shut up and dance sound and terrorising many dance floors across the globe they found the label progressing and with it the music, Tearing breakbeat is what they make and play. Smiley on decks, Pj on the mic. The mic is just as important as the tunes, both bring the noise and the atmosphere.
Currently Shut Up & Dance have slimmed down their operation and gone back to basics. The new album titled тАЬReclaim The StreetsтАЭ (the title track done in collaboration with good friend and producer Dj Hype) has a strong lyrical content and pulls no punches on tracks like, Riot, Heaven On Earth, And ThereтАЩs Evil Amongst Us. For the more tearing of breakbeats finest turn to tracks like Anger Management & Release The Gimp. Arrest The President & We Know Where You Live venture into darker waters and are definitely weapons of mass destruction, Meanwhile Babymother Blues is the weekend fathers anthem with itтАЩs hypnotic and twisting bassline. Bringing the album to a close is The Bailiff Letter; a track which employs the services of a twenty-piece orchestra over chopped up breaks which fuse with a classic shut up and dance bassline. Pj & Smiley feel this is their best album to date, & who am I to argue.
