Draft:MC Shutts

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

MC Shutts (Chris Shutts) is a British MC who began his career in 2007. His journey in UK hardcore music started while working at Sainsbury's alongside future MCs, Chris Freeman (MC 3Man) and Alex Dadson (MC Nemesis). During their lunch breaks, the three friends would gather in Shutts' car, listening to UK Hardcore CDs. Inspired by Freeman's impromptu lyric performances over the music, the trio began writing their own rhymes, laying the groundwork for what would become Underground Revolutions.

Shutts’ career began modestly, hosting a weekly radio show on "Headrush Live" alongside other MCs and DJs from the Underground Revolutions crew, including DJ Shift-D, DJ Slic, and later DJ Global (who replaced DJ Camo).

In April 2010, the Underground Revolutions team expanded into event promotion, hosting rave events at Jäger Bar in Melksham, Wiltshire. The popularity of these events quickly outgrew the venue, leading them to relocate to Club Ice in Westbury. There, Underground Revolutions partnered with Urban Mashup to create Adrenaline Stompers, with Shutts and Freeman as the main promoters.

As his reputation grew, MC Shutts secured residencies at several prominent events, such as Serious Sounds in Wales, Raveolution in Salisbury, and the renowned HTID (Hardcore Till I Die). His first studio mix was produced with Alex Prospect in 2012, and by 2013, he had signed as an artist with Future of Hardcore.

In addition to live performances, MC Shutts joined the Demo Sessions team, contributing to studio releases in both UK Hardcore and Drum and Bass genres.

After taking a hiatus in May 2017 to focus on family, MC Shutts made a much-anticipated return to the UK Hardcore scene in 2024.
