Skitty
Skitty is a UK drum and bass producer and DJ now based in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Emerging from the British jungle and drum and bass movement, he developed a reputation for powerful productions rooted in the darker, harder edge of the genre. His work reflects the raw energy of classic drum and bass while maintaining a modern club-focused sound built on heavy basslines, rolling rhythms and detailed production.
Over the years, Skitty has released music on some of the most respected labels in drum and bass. His catalogue includes releases on Goldie’s Metalheadz imprint, originally founded by Kemistry and Storm, as well as Renegade Hardware, Bassbin, Subtitles, Osiris, Dutty Audio and Trendkill Records. These labels have long been associated with the deeper and more technical side of the drum and bass scene, and his productions have gained support from DJs and listeners within the global underground.
In 2009, Skitty founded his own record label, Foundation X, created as a platform for uncompromising drum and bass rooted in what he describes as raw ruffneck junglism. The label has become an outlet for both his own productions and releases from other artists working within the harder and darker spectrum of drum and bass. Artists such as Djinn and Threshold have contributed to the catalogue, helping establish Foundation X as a respected underground imprint.
Alongside his production work, Skitty is an experienced DJ known for delivering deep and atmospheric drum and bass sets. His style often explores the darker and more underground edges of the genre, building tension through rolling rhythms and bass-heavy selections before moving into more energetic club-driven moments. This approach allows him to create sets that maintain strong dancefloor energy while staying rooted in the core traditions of drum and bass culture.
Since relocating to Ho Chi Minh City, Skitty has become an active part of the region’s drum and bass community. Together with Scientific Sound Asia, he in recent years co-hosted the drum and bass event series Rehab, helping to develop a platform for the genre within Vietnam’s growing electronic music scene. Through these events, he continues to support both international and local artists while bringing underground drum and bass sounds to new audiences.
He performs regularly across Vietnam and the wider Asian region, appearing at venues such as Piu Piu, Arcan and The Basement in Ho Chi Minh City. His festival appearances include events such as Cargo Remote Festival and Vibe Nation Festival, where he has presented high-energy drum and bass sets to diverse audiences.
Alongside his DJ work, Skitty continues to produce new music and release material through Foundation X and other labels. Through both his studio productions and his performances across Asia, he remains committed to pushing forward the sound of underground drum and bass while staying connected to the genre’s original jungle roots.
