Joy Orbison

One of the London club scene's most celebrated figures, Joy Orbison has consistently received acclaim for his forward-thinking productions as well as his hypnotic DJ sets. Blending elements of U.K. garage, techno, house, and breakbeat hardcore, his tracks are highly percussive bangers, equally suspense-filled and euphoric. He broke through with the slow-building post-dubstep single "Hyph Mngo" in 2009, then continued releasing club hits such as "Ellipsis," "Sicko Cell," and "Swims" (one of many collaborations with Boddika). More experimental releases such as 2019's Slipping EP and the 2021 mixtape Still Slipping, Vol. 1 fused jazz, IDM, ambient, and hip-hop, laced with recordings of his family members. He continued issuing acclaimed singles like 2024's "flight fm" and 2025's "bastard" (with Joe James).
