Heist, also known as Strider if you’re looking to go way back into his discography, has been dominating, innovating and revolutionising speaker bins for 20 years now. No matter the year, his tunes always felt relevant, yet discernibly his, and in many cases were integral in pushing the limits of the Drum and Bass spectrum a bit further and a bit deeper than the status quo. His sound has travelled the ins and outs of the Drum and Bass super-highway many times, maturing as it grew from its humble yet bad and bashy beginnings found on classics like ‘Company 7’, ‘Beetle juice’, ‘Philly Styler’ and ‘Iron Hide’.

Also a badboy DJ for just as long (longer than heist in fact - he was dj’ing in the early 90’s under a different synonym). It’s tunes like ‘Go to work’, Sleep in ya eyes and ‘Don’t hold back’ as well as his high-octane DJ sets, that propelled him into super-stardom way-back-when. And in the minds of many, solidified Heist as a bonafide legend resulting in too many collaborations, endorsements and appearances to list. 
Having graced the catalogues of many iconic, foundational labels like Playaz, Charge, Ganja, V, Digital Soundboy, Frontline, Full Cycle, Philly Blunt, Low down deep and Metalheadz! All one needs to do to understand why Drum and Bass royalty like Dillinja, Hype, and Goldie, took notice so early on is…listen. Listen to any of it! It’s as though Heist had the foresight to be as fastidious about what he released to others as he has been about what he releases on his own signature imprints, Sumo Beatz, Calypso and Co-Lab.

Receiving previous critical acclaim whilst engineering for DNB forefather and legend, Goldie, as well as on his own celebrated productions, Heist has found a home for most of his current output on two-time award-winning label, Low Down Deep Recordings. Big things are coming on the label from Heist, like the cheeky ‘Bug Patrol’ and also ‘Felt Rich’ both doing dance floor damage from a host of DJ’s and support on BBC Radio 1, Kiss FM amongst other radio stations for both of these tracks and most likely more Heist bangers! Some exciting future projects are also in the works for a few labels that have yet to see the likes of Heist...The return of Sumo Beatz is also in store, with a bunch of ‘select cuts’ he has been just waiting to get out there on his own label. If history serves, there’s truly no telling what Heist will cook up next or how hard his freshly-brewed baselines will hit, but the future does look bright for the now DNB legend, to say the very least. With a plethora of music in the works as well as tour dates across Europe and the globe actively brewing in the cauldron, 2025 is looking deadly.

Where do we start with Killjoy… a prolific producer, DJ and taste maker notorious for his extensive catalogue of unreleased material and high-octane sets — traversing the UK, Europe and his new found home in Australia.

His primary business is the crafting of tough, UK bass workouts that nod to the bassline and speed garage of yesteryear. Through his consistent output, Killjoy has steadily garnered accolades by the dozen. His releases & and exclusives have received support from heavy hitters across the board from Slimzee, TQD and Skream to Scratcha DVA, Caspa, Zomby, Interplanetary Criminal and plenty more.

He has released on a plethora of forward thinking labels, from Time Is Now, Sector 7 and Slimzos Recordings to Hardcore Energy, Bulk Music, Tumble Audio, Extra Spicy, Four40 Records and more, as well as working with legendary MC’s like D Double E, Jammz, Slick Don, Killa P, Shantie, Magugu, Champion and many more — and his productions under the Killjoy alias as well as golden era dubstep under his Ashburner and Core alias’ demonstrate his sheer versatility as an artist. Each of his tracks have a unique and original feel, while still retaining the trademark Killjoy sound. This is a trait always at the forefront of his DJ mixes, fast paced and exciting, dropping dub after dub and mixing smoothly between 130-160 bpm.
