About Skeptical:
As a skilled DJ and producer, Skeptical expresses his passion for music with every beat he creates. From his early days of delving into various genres to his present-day reputation for crafting some of the most powerful yet delicate tracks in drum & bass, Skeptical has become a force to be reckoned
with.
His career began with the release of his exceptional Blue Eyes EP on Ingredients Records in 2011. Since then, Skeptical has become a household name in the industry with his outstanding releases on prestigious imprints like Metalheadz, Soul:r, and Exit Records. Collaborating with Dub Phizix and Strategy for "Marka" brought immense success and popularity, earning him a spot on many DJs' playlists worldwide while garnering millions of views online.
Skeptical's association with Exit Records continued with noteworthy releases like the Imperial EP and Without A Trace EP with Alix Perez in 2017. The following year, he released his critically-acclaimed debut album, Enjoy This Trip, followed by Fibonacci Sequence in 2019. That same year, Skeptical self-released "Musket," which received high praise and recognition from dance music enthusiasts
worldwide.
Collaboration is one of Skeptical's strong suits, as evidenced by his involvement in Module Eight, a collective made up of producers dBridge, Kid Drama, Loxy, and Resound. They create experimental music for the pure joy of it, resulting in the release of an album called Legacy. His collaboration track, "Move Way," with dBridge, was even released on the iconic R&S Records, the first drum and bass track from the label since the early 2000s.
Skeptical's talent has not gone unnoticed, as evidenced by his remixes of tracks by renowned producers like Sizzla, Zed Bias, Mefjus, Break, Shy FX, Alix Perez and Noisia. In 2017, he was awarded Best Alternative Artist at the Drum & Bass Awards UK.
With his DJ sets renowned for their technical proficiency, it's no surprise that Skeptical has traveled extensively across the world, performing in clubs and festivals in Europe, America, South America, Canada, and Australasia.
In 2023, Skeptical took his career to a new level by launching his record label, Rubi Records. As one of the music industry's most significant talents, Skeptical shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
