DOB: 26/06/1983
Location: Edgbaston, Birmingham
(Alias' : Nocturnal Disorder / Digital Pimpz / Hostilian / Kontraband / Funked In Your Space)
From an early age Shawn has always had a keen interest in all styles of music. From classic, rock, dance, opera, urban & many more. Whilst he was younger he always wanted to work with computers & never found the break he was looking for. After much soul searching he realised that he wanted to something for a living that he enjoyed & could put his heart into.
After going out on the 'scene' for many years Shawn slowly started to learn how to mix with a pair of decks he had for a while but had never bothered to learn properly. He started by learning to mix two basic tracks together & listened to them until he knew the tracks inside & out. Once he had master the art of beat matching he then tried different tricks on the decks to make his sets more creative.
But this wasn't the end for Shawn....
Whilst he was at school he was trained on piano (as well as failing drums & guitar). This gave him the idea & chance to start learning how to create music. The first (& last) program he picked up was FL Studio (back then & more commonly known as Fruityloops). After learning the basics he started to create his own tracks with the help of a good mate Craig Stuart.
In 2005 Shawn & Craig entered Mixmag with the track DANCING ON AIR. This was the turning point for Shawn. After this it gave him the drive to learn and to create his own sound & go off on his own to achieve something brilliant.
Shawn later found himself playing at nights such as Polysexual, Bounce2This, Bring Back The Bounce, Shaft, Shine, Fluffy, Hit The Deck & many more.
Not only that he was asked to remix & work with such people as Carl Nicholson, Gem Stone & more....
In 2007 Shawn had a signing & release of Nocturnal Disorder - Trigger Finger on Generation-X & the Tidy Weekender 11 album, thanks to Daley & Amber D. The live set was played out at the Tidy Weekender in front of thousands of people & recorded for later release. Since the success on the album the track has sold well.

Hello and welcome to HTD Digital…!
Home of artists Andrew Cockbill and Shawn Cartwright, HTD Digital is a
new label set to deliver an alternative sound to the scene.
It all began early 2007 when the pair first pondered the idea of setting
up the record label. The first of several tester events was in July
2007, when the duo hosted their own night in
with the aim of testing their sound which they had been trying to
perfect. After plenty of positive feedback, more events were arranged
and established DJs added to the lineups.
In high spirits from the reaction which they received, they registered
HTD Digital in December 2007 and proceeded to work hard towards
cementing the foundations of the HTD brand.
Their efforts were rewarded
when they attracted the attention of talented artists Keith Hyndes,
Ally B, Joe K, Krazykhalid, Hi-Freak and many more, who have all since had their compilations
snapped up by the label.
Shawn Cartwright’s definitive ‘Warlord’ has jet started the campaign
with its release on Trackitdown.Net. Backed up with an entourage of future
releases from a variety of accomplished artists, HTD is coming, prepare
yourself for more of this.
