DJ Q isn’t just part of the UKG and Bassline story, he wrote key chapters and now he’s setting the record straight with Foundations, his definitive return to the raw sound that shaped him.
Q is a pioneer whose imprint on UK underground dance music runs deeper than most. Nearly two decades in the game have cemented him as one of the most technically gifted, respected, and versatile DJs in the country full stop.
From the breakout anthems to the charting “You Wot!”, Q brought Northern Bassline to national attention at a time when most of the industry ignored it. He didn’t follow trends, he built them. As a founding member of TQD (alongside Flava D and Royal-T), he helped modernise and globalise UK Garage, showing a new generation what the sound could become.
His 2022 album Est. 2003 featuring legends like Todd Edwards, proved Q’s production legacy stands shoulder to shoulder with his DJing. Q’s influence cuts through multiple eras, scenes, and sounds.
But behind the decks is where he becomes unmistakable. Known for lightning-fast blends, genre-bending selections, flawless 4-deck technique, and an unmatched energy, Q has headlined everywhere from Glastonbury to Boomtown. He’s the DJ’s DJ! The one your favourite DJ watches from the side of the stage.
And now, with his new project Foundations, Q returns to the essence: no gimmicks, no filters just pure Bassline from someone who has lived it since day one. It’s a celebration of the culture he helped build, a reminder of where the sound comes from, and a statement of where it’s going next.
Authentic, uncompromising, and still setting the standard DJ Q remains one of the true pillars of UK club music.

Making that absolute Leng anthems

Members - Dogge, Low-Key, Rae Rae and Menza.
Started rappin in teenage years. Involved in various music projects. Formed the band Classified in the mid 90's, performed regularly on pirate radio. Life got in the way and the band split but we remained tight and eventually the Yorkshire Terrierz were born. 2005 has been a good year for us and we're going from strength to strength. The music speaks for itself.
