In the 90s, he began his career as a beatmaker and DJ under the names DJ TKO and TAKEO SUZUKI in the club jazz unit "O.M.U.", releasing CDs on the Nippon Columbia Triad label. He then released a completely self-produced album on the German label 99.

After leaving O.M.U., he took a break from music. Around 2020, he resumed his music career, and has been actively releasing experimental electronic music, techno, psychill music, and other music, mainly ambient, on bandcamp.

King Cannibal - 
"modern master of the satanic sub frequency" DJ Mag


King Cannibal wasn’t always as beastly as you’d think. Dylan Richards a.k.a. “Ninja’s first (and only?) hard man” has a snaked history, rubbing shoulders with personal heroes and all of it preemptively flagged for greatness by numerous taste-makers publications, based on his trilogy of under-the-counter mix CDs recorded under this former name - ‘ZILLA’
 
Comprised of hundreds of tracks, these hand-sprayed CDs sold out in days and earned high praise on a global scale, so much so that Warp Records took note and invited ‘ZILLA’ along with DJ partner Buddy Peace to compile a retrospective of the label. Released late September 2004 as part of the 'WARP VISION The Videos' DVD, the mix entitled 'Watch And Repeat Play' was a startlingly original tour-de-force, over 70 minutes the two DJs reworking and rewiring the label's back catalogue, twisting the already twisted into sonic maelstrom.
 
Richards began exploring solo production, perfecting an industrial take on dancehall, dubstep & drum n bass with a number of well-received, increasingly darker remixes. The Eureka moment, ‘Aragami Style’, came to be in 2006, and with it a new alias was born. “Whilst 'ZILLA' sleeps at the bottom of the Pacific KING CANNIBAL IS KING OF THE DANCEHALL”.
 
Falling in to the hands of the legendary Amon Tobin, ‘Aragami Style’ took pride of place as the secret weapon King Cannibal’s sets, destroying dancefloors for years whilst Radio 1 DJ Mary Anne Hobbs championed the track giving it heavy rotation and inviting King Cannibal to prepare for her Experimental show an hour-long soundclash with proto-dubstep producer Scorn. Radio 1 weren't the only station listening, hardcore fan and supporter Eddy Temple Morris even created a section of his show 'The Remix Darkside' in King Cannibal's honour.
 
Having now released his debut album ‘Let The Night Roar’ on Ninja Tune, it seems these long lists of endorsements are no fluke. Piecing together shards of a wide array of influences, utterly uncompromising industrial sounds and razor-edged rhythms shifted shape from dancehall & drum n bass to deep techno & dubstep in what Richards calls his school of ‘brutal deluxe’ production, falling somewhere between the sonic shadows of Amon Tobin and aggressive swagger of The Bug, both fellow Ninjas. 
 
2010 bought 2 North American tours alongside appearances at The Royal Albert Hall, The Apple Store London for Ableton, sound design & gaming work for Microsoft and Ubisoft (Splinter Cell Chaos Theory 3D and Crackdown 2) mixing duties for DJ Food, appearances on the Ninja XX compilation and accompanying tour. The year finished with a DJ Magazine 'compilation of the year' award nomination and his first mix cd 'The Way Of The Ninja' collecting a breath taking 256 tracks into 74 minutes.

Following personal request King Cannibal worked along Bjork on the initial stage of her Biolphilia album, followed by recording and releasing a remix of her song Thunderbolt. A debut release for Ad Noiseam entitled 'All The Colours Of The Night' was also released which once again earned huge support from Mary Anne Hobb's who opened every show of her U.S Road Warrior Tour, Boiler Room and Sonar Festival sets with it's remix of 'Dirt'. 
King Cannibal ends 2012 with a remix and one off performance of iconic Polish composer Witold Lutoslawki for Sacrum Profanum Festival.
