Profile:
Shut Up And Dance was formed in 1988 in Stoke Newington, London, by Philip 'PJ' Johnson and Carl 'Smiley' Hyman. In 1990 they made the lower end of the UK chart with two singles, "£20 to Get In" and "Lamborghini", both released on their own record label, Shut Up and Dance Records. At this time, they also started working with the Ragga Twins and produced their seminal first releases.

In 1992, they reached No. 43 with their double A-side single "Autobiography of a Crackhead / The Green Man", before hitting the headlines in May of that year when they released "Raving I'm Raving", based on Marc Cohn's hit single "Walking in Memphis". Upon its release, Cohn obtained an injunction to stop production of further copies of the single due to the lack of clearance. A court order was also sought to prevent the sale of any copies already produced, but Cohn was persuaded to allow such sales on condition that all the proceeds went to charity. This caused panic buying of the copies on sale as consumers knew that no more would be produced. The single soared to No. 2 in the charts, but went down to No. 15 the following week, before leaving the chart completely.

Shut Up And Dance released one further single from their "Death Is Not the End" album, "The Art of Moving Butts", which featured singer Erin. The album itself reached No. 38 in the UK chartst in June 1992.

Throughout 1994 and 1995 they released a number of jungle tracks under the alias "Red Light". These were followed by the 1995 album "Black Men United" which encompassed Jungle, Downtempo, Reggae and Hip Hop. A single from this album, "Save It Till the Mourning After" would reach No. 25 on the UK charts.

In the early 2000s, they re-emerged releasing a number of UK garage tracks, followed by the breakbeat albums "Reclaim The Streets" and later on, "The Great British Public".

During their career they have released music under various other aliases such as Blackman, Hackney Soldiers, One Upfront, Private Party, Red Light, Rum & Black, The Good Fellas and Youngstar.
