Interplanetary Criminal
Interplanetary Criminal

Manchester-based Zachary Bruce aka Interplanetary Criminal has flourished
over the last years with very strong releases on labels such as Sneaker Social Club and
a slick, stripped back 4-track EP on Banoffee Pies. Catchy R&B and
dancehall vocals combined with his feel for arrangement and ultra tight sounding drums,
it's no surprise that his music is played extensively on dance floors, radio shows and
beyond, particularly by garage and breakbeat fans. Zac's truly a machine in the studio,
having become one of Time Is Now's strongest representatives with three EPs to
his name in the space of roughly a year on the much loved Shall Not Fade sub-label for
all things UKG & breaks. You'd think that's productive enough? Not in the IPC universe, as
he also started his own "ATW" imprint in 2020 together with his good mate Main Phase,
kicking things off with a killer first release and for all we know many more in the
planning. His DJ skills are equally impressive, with a distinctly UK sound, he picks some
of the finest from garage, rave and dub and puts a lot of thought into the narration of
his sets. Make sure you go and see him play sometime – you definitely won't be
disappointed!
