Interplanetary Criminal, is a Manchester born producer, DJ, and co founder of ATW Records who’s become one of the most electrifying forces in contemporary UK garage. Since launching into music in 2012, IPC has launched a signature sound that bridges breakbeat grit, speed garage bounce, and forward facing innovation rooted deeply in the North West’s underground rave.
His career defining moment arrived with the smash single "B.O.T.A. (Baddest Of Them All)", a collaboration with Eliza Rose that reached UK number one, earned a double platinum certification, and secured a BRIT Award nomination.
In 2023, IPC curated “All Thru The Night”, the fourth volume in the seminal Locked On Records compilation series, spotlighting new talent in UKG alongside his own material. His momentum shows no signs of slowing, with standout releases like "No Time" featuring Sadboi (which earned a Juno Award in 2025), and collaborations with the likes of Blanco, Koffee, and Sadboi, each track reinforcing his talent for marrying garage DNA with modern flair.
Interplanetary Criminal stands as both a torchbearer of classic UKG and a fearless architect of its future — bringing serious heat to every set, and keeping the spirit of the rave alive, loud, and evolving.
Following a standout set on London's Kindred radio station and a handful of releases on ATW, we are thrilled to bare witness to an extended b2b featuring none other than Sheffield's own Silva Bumpa. Two DJ/Producers with their fingers firmly on the pulse of contemporary bass music, IPC and Silva Bumpa's musical stylings are synergetic. These two will create a music melting pot of warps, wobbles, wubs and dubs, bringing the legacy sounds of Northern rave culture into the future.
