B.O.T.A and Beyond: Charting Interplanetary Criminal's Rise

Races to the Future: Reinventing UK Garage with Interplanetary Criminal


Interplanetary Criminal, known offstage as Zach Bruce, hails from Manchester, UK, and has carved a niche for himself within the UK garage scene, blending traditional elements with a modern twist. His journey into music was sparked in 2012, influenced by the deep impact of Huxley's house track "Box Clever," which led him to explore the realms of music production and DJing. This moment marked the beginning of a path that would see him delve into various genres, eventually finding a strong connection with garage music, driven by his northern roots and a keen interest in underground sounds.

The collaboration with Eliza Rose on "B.O.T.A. (Baddest Of Them All)" marked a significant point in his career, achieving UK #1 and showcasing his ability to create tracks that resonate well beyond the underground scene. This success did not deter him from his roots; instead, it reinforced his dedication to the genre he loves.

Bruce's influence extends across the globe, with notable performances at Boiler Room in Sydney and Berlin, CRSSD Festival, and One Out Festival, among others. These appearances have not only solidified his reputation as a skilled DJ but also as a significant figure within the garage music community.

His work with Locked On Records, especially the "All Thru The Night" compilation, demonstrates his respect for the genre's history while also highlighting new talent within the scene. This project, among others, illustrates his role in the current resurgence of UK garage, balancing respect for its origins with a clear vision for its future.

Interplanetary Criminal's story is a reflection of his journey through the music world, marked by a deep appreciation for his musical roots and a keen eye for the future of garage music. As the genre continues to adapt and grow, Bruce remains a key player, guiding its direction while staying true to the underground ethos that originally inspired him.
