History
Joy Orbison, the London producer Peter O'Grady, is known for club tracks that feel both euphoric and slightly wistful, sitting in the space between garage, house and the bass music that grew out of dubstep. His breakthrough came in 2009 with Hyph Mngo, released on Hotflush: a track built from a clipped, pitched vocal, swung garage drums and a warm, rising chord line that became one of the defining records of the post-dubstep moment. He grew up around jungle and drum and bass, and his uncle is the jungle DJ and producer Ray Keith, a link often mentioned when his sense of rhythm comes up. Rather than chase that first hit, he spent the next decade releasing singles and collaborations on small labels, including his own Doldrums and Hinge Finger, the latter run with Will Bankhead. Still Slipping Vol. 1 in 2021, his first long-form release, mixed club tracks with interludes of voice notes and family conversation, giving his music a personal, homely frame. Listeners recognise him by chopped vocal hooks, rolling UK garage swing and chords that sound like the end of a good night out.
