Emerging from South London’s underground scene in 2009, Joy Orbison became an instant cult favorite with the release of “Hyph Mngo,” a track that helped define the post-dubstep era and remains one of the most influential club records of the 21st century. Rather than sticking to one genre, O’Grady continuously blends UK garage, jungle, grime, house, techno, and breakbeat into a sound that’s unmistakably his own. Through his label Hinge Finger and releases on XL Recordings, he’s remained one of dance music’s most respected innovators.
As a DJ, Joy Orbison is known for fearless, genre-spanning sets that move effortlessly between underground club music and unexpected left turns. Whether playing b2b with Ben UFO, collaborating with Overmono, or headlining festivals like Dekmantel and Lost Village, he consistently balances crowd-pleasing moments with boundary-pushing selections. His recent singles like flight fm have introduced a new generation to his unmistakable sound while proving he remains at the forefront of UK club music.
