Since launching the Datsik brand, Troy Beetles continues to evolve as a solo artist all the while pushing his beloved bass music world to new lengths, both on a personal artistry level and as a genre as a whole. From bedroom producer to chart-topping artist, internationally touring act and owner and founder of the enterprising Firepower Records, Datsik is poised to make bass music the sound of the future.
Datsik took his initial steps into global dominance in 2009 with the Nuke ‘Em and Boom EPs featuring Excision and the legendary Flux Pavilion as collaborators. He has also released massive remixes for dance music icons Skrillex, Diplo, Kaskade, and Zedd, as well as collaborations with Bassnectar and Diplo. He has also remixed artists from the mainstream pop world and hip-hop spheres such as Coldplay, Lil Wayne, MGMT, Linkin Park, Wu-Tang Clan, one of the biggest influences on his sound, and, most recently, Lana Del Rey.
His latest Sensei EP (Dec. 2016/Firepower) follows the announcement of an all- new Ninja Nation Tour, featuring PK sound and the The Shogun, his all new stage production. The EP features massive collaborations with L.A. rapper AD, newcomer Lox Chatterbox, and the genre defying Zack The Lad. Other notable releases from Datsik’s arsenal include Down 4 My Ninjas EP (Nov. 2014/Firepower), “Smoke Bomb” ft. Snoop Dogg (Nov. 2015/Ultra Records), Vitamin D, his debut artist album on Dim Mak Records (2012).
