Born Peter O'Grady, Joy Orbison was introduced to London's dance music scene by his uncle, jungle pioneer Ray Keith. After learning how to DJ in his early teens and beginning to produce grime instrumentals in his early twenties, he established his club-friendly sound and began releasing material in 2009.

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." Joy Orbison will carry his array of productions to Sónar Istanbul 2024!
