DJ EZ (pronounced DJ EEE ZED) is widely - and rightly - regarded as one of the finest, most gifted DJs on the planet. The “DJ’s favourite DJ”, EZ has been a musical force of nature for over two decades, saluted by the industry for being a creative mixer with an unparalleled instinct and technical prowess - not to mention one of the quickest fingers in the trade with his trademark cue button action displays during his sets. A set of decks simply isn’t the same without DJ EZ.

AJ Tracey is an independent multi-platinum selling artist, instrumental in pioneering the new sound of UK rap. 

His sound has a versatility that extends across grime (‘Thiago Silva’), drill (‘Bringing It Back’) and hip-hop (‘Little More Love’), among other genres. Collaborators have been equally wide-ranging: T-Pain, Kehlani, Skepta, Popcaan, Mabel, Digga D, MoStack, Aitch, Dave, Gorillaz and Mahalia — to name a few. 

AJ’s boundary pushing reignites and reimagines established genres: one example being the triple-platinum single 'Ladbroke Grove,' which sparked a resurgence in the sound that endures to this day.

AJ Tracey's open-minded approach continues to have positive cultural impact and reach a new generation of rap fans. In 2023, he was honoured with the Brits Billion Award, celebrating 1 billion streams in the UK alone. This accolade stands as a testament to his unwavering commitment to pushing artistic boundaries, without compromise.
