Timid Boy

Timid Boy is the electronic music project of Damien Almira, a French producer and DJ based in Paris. Almira began releasing music under the Timid Boy moniker in February 2010 and co-owns Time Has Changed Records, which serves as a primary outlet for his productions. Over his 14-year career, he has amassed 68 releases across various labels including his own imprint, with his most recent output appearing in November 2024.

Timid Boy operates primarily within tech house and minimal deep tech territories, though his catalog spans deep house, peak time techno, and traditional house music. His releases appear on labels including Time Has Changed Records, Materialism, TBX Limited, and Detone, with several titles released under his own Timid Boy label imprint. The music typically maintains the driving, club-ready energy characteristic of contemporary tech house, with production techniques that align with both the minimal techno aesthetic and deeper house sensibilities. His sound has remained consistent within these parameters throughout his career, focusing on dancefloor functionality rather than experimental deviation.
