Bio
Interplanetary Criminal brings the bass-heavy club traditions of North West England into a contemporary UK garage sound. Manchester-based Zac Bruce is a DJ, producer and co-founder of ATW Records with Main Phase, with fast-moving sets and productions that look back to garage's foundations while making room for a new generation.
His collaboration with Eliza Rose, B.O.T.A. (Baddest of Them All), reached number one in the UK in 2022, taking his music far beyond its underground starting point. His history also includes experiments with jungle and lo-fi house, releases on labels such as E-Beamz and Time Is Now, and compilation work for Locked On. Performances range from all-night sessions at Leeds' Wire to Glastonbury's Arcadia and Dekmantel. Alongside those larger stages, ATW remains a practical expression of his involvement in garage: a label built with a fellow producer for music from their own circle and beyond.
