Podcast Overview: In this conversation, Shadow Child aka Simon Christopher Bird sits down with Will Clarke to talk about his new album A Break In The Clouds and where he’s at creatively. Simon reflects on reinvention, longevity, and the pressure of evolving in a constantly changing dance music landscape. He opens up about the grind of the modern industry, blocking out the noise, and reconnecting with the reasons he started making music in the first place.


Who is Shadow Child: Who is Shadow Child: Two decades into his career, Shadow Child announces his debut album A Break In The Clouds, a vivid chronicle of his musical journey. Emerging from the rave, breakbeat, hardcore, and jungle scenes of the ’90s UK, Shadow Child first came to prominence as Dave Spoon with global residencies and hit remixes for artists like Pet Shop Boys and Dizzee Rascal. As Shadow Child, he’s carved a niche in deep house and bass-driven dance music, blending euphoric vocals with rave-inspired beats. A Break In The Clouds celebrates Simon’s full musical spectrum – from shuddering breakbeats and UK garage grooves to introspective, emotive moments – showcasing the confidence and freedom of an artist at the peak of his craft. Beyond the music, Simon mentors emerging artists and champions wellness in the industry, balancing high-energy performances with a thoughtful, grounded approach to his career.
