World-class DJ, producer, radio titan, and celebrated author – DJ Semtex wears many hats. To fans, he is a trusted authority, to peers, he is a creative force advancing the culture. Semtex is one of the UK’s most influential tastemakers. With a career spanning over two decades, he has consistently championed artists and driven the conversation around the genre.

He first cut his teeth as a DJ in his hometown, Manchester. In the years since, he has become one of the premier DJs in hip hop, touring, opening, and performing onstage with the likes of Travis Scott, Dave, D Block Europe, Skepta, French Montana, Nas, Wu-Tang Clan, Rick Ross, Migos, Lancey Foux, and Dizzee Rascal.

His Friday night show on Capital Xtra is a vital platform for emerging and established artists, offering them a space to showcase their talent and connect with a wider audience. Before Capital Xtra, Semtex spent 15 years at BBC 1Xtra, shaping the landscape of hip-hop radio. He also extended his influence digitally, hosting Spotify’s Who We Be Talks_, where he sat down with some of the biggest names in the industry. Anchored by an impulse to share Hip-Hop’s story, as a radio personality he is known to coax unusual realness out of closed-off megastars like Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Central Cee, Kanye West, Jay-Z, and Eminem.

In 2016, he released the Hip Hop Raised Me book, a critically acclaimed deep dive into the genre’s history, featuring exclusive interviews and personal insights. Now, with his Seminal Sound label, Semtex continues to push boundaries, ensuring that hip-hop remains at the forefront of culture while giving new voices the recognition they deserve.
