DESCRIPTION:
Techno, Tech & Downbeat Electronica LP -Debut long player from the UK funk dubstep house innovator. Peter O'Grady, alias Joy Orbison, has been one of the driving forces of the electronic music scene since his teenage years, and he has repeatedly been able to break new ground with his publications. Now his first mixtape "still slipping vol. 1" is finally appearing, which proves that he has lost none of its relevance or topicality in 2021 either. "Hotly anticipated", it is probably true when you consider that Orbison has not yet released an album or more than one EP in his career. The title is reminiscent of the celebrated 2019 EP "Slipping" as well as its curated radio channel "Still Slipping: Los Santos" in the Grand Theft Auto gaming world - at the same time this 14-song mixtape is probably Orbison's most ambitious release to date and a milestone in his career. This began in 2009 with the debut single "Hype Mngo", with which the London-based musician, DJ and producer made waves in the dance music underground. This was followed by more singles, EPs, collaborations with acts like Mansur Brown or Overmono, a BBC One residency, DJ sets and live performances in clubs and at festivals around the world. As usual, "still slipping vol.1" bears witness to the manifold influences and currents that Joy Orbison lets herself be carried away by and rolls out the carpet for collaborations with acts such as Herron, James Massiah, Bathe, Lea Sen, Goya Gumbani and Tyson. It also offers an intimate glimpse into the artist's personal world during the last few months of lockdown, as the mixtape also contains some personal voice messages from his mother, father, sister and cousins.

Peter O'Grady, better known as Joy Orbison, is an English electronic musician. His style is a coalescence of house, dubstep, UK funky, UK garage and oldschool jungle. O'Grady achieved underground success with his debut single "Hyph Mngo", released via Hotflush Recordings in October 2009. He is also known for his collaborations with Boddika.
O'Grady credits his uncle Ray Keith for introducing him to jungle and UK garage at a young age. At 13, he took up DJing and eventually moved into production in his 20s, using Fruity Loops to create 8-bar grime loops before developing his sound combining house, disco and dubstep. He cites influences as diverse as J Dilla, My Bloody Valentine, GG Allin, Josef K and The Beach Boys.
His debut single "Hyph Mngo" was called the most forward-thinking dubstep track of 2009 and received airplay and floorplay worldwide. This was followed by "Brkln Clln" on O'Grady's own label Doldrums, which he ran in tandem with partner Impey. In 2010, O'Grady released "The Shrew Would Have Cushioned The Blow" on Aus Music, an eclectic record label founded by Will Saul and Fink.
"Hyph Mngo" was voted #23 in the Resident Advisor top 100 tracks of the 2000s and #1 in Fact Magazine's top tracks of 2009. He was named number 18 in NME's New Music Tips of 2010[5] and voted 19th in the Resident Advisor 'Top DJs of 2012' poll.
In 2012, O'Grady began residencies at his own London based club night 'Just For You' and at Manchester's 'meandyou' party. He also launched a record label called Hinge Finger which is co-run by artist Will Bankhead. O'Grady has also released music under the alias' Sin Falta and Sul Read more on Last.fm.
