Dj, Producer, Label owner. Andy Riley has been busy over the last 30 odd years. His productions as one half of Inland Knights, as well as various solo outings under his Toka Project guise, have ensured that he has remained a prominent fixture both from behind the decks and on wax.
After a few years serving his apprenticeship as an in-demand local Dj in and around Nottinghamshire UK, Andy’s inevitable step into production started in earnest with fellow Dj Steve Walker. 
Toka Project was born with the release of Swungbeats ‘King Sized Blue’Ep in early 1995. Originally a collaboration with Walker, all early output was released on Nottingham’s ‘Strictly 4 Groovers’ label, now better known as DiY Discs. Andy and Steve went on to remix a number of artists on the labels roster at the time, notably Gibby Music of Crash Records fame and Fred Everything amongst others. By 1998 Toka Project productions were in full flow and in the same year they released the much acclaimed ‘Be Free’ Ep for Chicago’s legendary Guidance Records, the title track also appeared on Guidance’s’ High Fidelity House Imprint Vol 2’. These two releases helped to push the Toka Project brand abroad and in 1999 Andy embarked on a three-month tour of the U.S and Canada with Andy Macari and Jay Cowley, stopping off in New York, LA, San Francisco, Phoenix, Philly, Tampa, Seattle, and Washington D.C amongst other places, and Montreal, Vancouver ,Whistler and Victoria in Canada. Ep’s and remixes on top labels such as Transport, Silver Network, So Sound, Amenti, Robsoul and Tango were to follow, all released to critical acclaim globally.
Over the course of the 90’s, Riley had been DJ’ing with Smokescreen,the legendary UK Sound System reponsible for throwing notorious free parties acroos the UK counties and beyond,by 1998 he had started writing tracks with fellow Smokescreen DJ Laurence Ritchie. As Inland Knights Laurence and Andy undertook a hectic production schedule to write tracks for Drop Music, Laurence’s fledgling House label. Drop Music has gone on to become one of the most highly regarded House labels in recent times. Inland Knights have become one of the most prolific and respected production outfits in the House community, carving a distinctive and unique House sound, and regularly taking on remix and Ep duties for fellow labels and producers, not to mention a Dj schedule which takes them further and further afield as their reputation grows. Bookings have included slots at UK clubbing institutions such as Fabric, The End, The Egg, Turnmills, Shindig, Back 2 Basics,Chibuku Shake Shake, Ministry Of Sound, Cargo, déjà vu,The Arches and The Sub Club in Scotland, as well as smaller more intimate venues nationwide. Countless international trips have seen them tour the Globe. Release highlights include the ‘Mohammed Ali’ remix for Faithless on Cheeky Records, CD compilations, Ep's and remixes for NRK, Om Records, 2020 Vision, Amenti Etc and Inland Knights first full length album entitled ‘Creative Spaces’.  More recently Inland Knights have released an album celebrating 10 years of Drop Music entitled ‘Dust till Dawn’ as well as the Retrospective ‘Inland Bytes’, a look back at Inland Knights career so far.
Currently, as well as remix and production commitments, Riley maintains a busy international Dj ‘ing schedule, and can be found most weekends playing up and down the UK and Europe, as well as regular visits to the U.S, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa playing both as one half of Inland Knights, and solo under his own name.
Andy has recently released several solo Ep’s for the first time under his own name: ‘Cant Contain This Ep’ on Frosted Recordings, ‘Slipmode Ep’ on Soul Fuel, ‘Somthin4theweekend Ep’ on Odour Recordings and two Ep’s on his own imprint, Borrowed. As of 2019 Riley is poised to release under the alias ‘7000 Possibilities Of Existence’ with DiY’s Peaceful Ones(DJ Pete Woosh) as part of the ’52 Card Trick Project’ on Pete’s Spirit Wrestlers Label.

DJ’s, Producers and label owners, Andy Riley and Laurence Ritchie (AKA Inland Knights) have created a brand name that most House heads have heard of.  Whether you like it deep , tech or more funky – when you think about Drop Music or Inland Knights a certain style of House comes to mind that is uniquely their own. Andy and Laurence’s reach is global, and their label’s continue to produce some of the finest House music 15 years after they started back in the UK, within Nottingham's party scene.

Andy and Laurence  met in ’93 and cut their teeth Dj’ing for Smokescreen, the renegade sound system from which they drew their early inspiration. Smokescreen consisted of dj’s, lighting people, sound people, a truck, a P.A, a generator and general helpers. Old warehouses, woodland, fields, quarries and houses were utilized with the sole intention of having a good time…. for free! By the mid 90’s smokescreen could guarantee a crowd of hundreds in attendance at their parties(which were most weekends), and their club nights became local institutions that ran for years with packed dancefloors. Into their 21st year, Smokescreen are still going strong and are still hosting quality club nights and parties in and around the Midlands.

By ’98 Laurence and Andy had made the inevitable step into production and the same year their fledgling label, Drop Music, was born. With the release of ‘Inland Knights vol 1’ , Riley and Ritchie undertook a busy schedule to write tracks for Drop  (almost all of the early output was Inland knights, despite many monikers). Drop Music has gone on to become one of the most highly regarded House labels in recent years (with 80 plus releases to date), and Inland Knights have gone on to become one of the most respected and prolific production outfits in the House community, carving a unique and distinctive House sound, and regularly taking on remix and Ep duties for fellow labels and producers. Highlights include the acclaimed ‘Mohammed Ali’ remix for Faithless on Cheeky Records, CD compilations and remixes for NRK and Om Records, three Ep's on 2020 Vision, Inland Knights first full length album entitled ‘Creative Spaces’, and more recently, Inland Knights album to mark 10 years of Drop Music entitled ‘Dust till Dawn’, not to mention countless Ep's on other labels over the years and a 30-minute live mix on Radio 1’s ‘Essential Selection’ show. More recently, the pair released 'Inland Bytes', a retrospective look at Inland Knights career so far.

Currently, as well as remix, production and label commitments, the pair maintain a busy international Dj schedule which takes them further and further afield as their reputation grows. Bookings have included regular slots at UK clubbing institutions such as Fabric, The End, The Egg, The Cross, Turnmills, Shindig, Back 2 Basics,  Sanky's, Chibuku Shake Shake, Ministry Of Sound, Cargo, Déjà Vu, The Arches and The Sub Club in Scotland, as well as smaller more intimate venues nationwide. Countless international trips have seen them tour the Globe. Most weekends Inland Knights can be found DJ'ing up and down the UK or Europe with regular international tours a permanent fixture in their Diaries.
