Joy Orbison is a highly respected artist in the electronic music scene. With his unique blend of house, techno, and dubstep, he has captivated audiences around the world. As the nephew of renowned DJ Ray Keith, Joy Orbison was exposed to music from an early age and quickly developed a passion for it. His tracks are known for their intricate rhythms, atmospheric soundscapes, and infectious melodies. Whether he's performing at festivals or releasing new music on his own label, Joy Orbison continues to push boundaries and redefine what it means to be an electronic artist.

From his breakout hit "Hyph Mngo" to collaborations with artists like Boddika and Will Bankhead, Joy Orbison has consistently delivered innovative and genre-defying music. His tracks have become anthems in clubs across the globe, earning him a dedicated fan base that eagerly awaits each new release. With his meticulous attention to detail and impeccable production skills, Joy Orbison continues to evolve as an artist while staying true to his signature sound.

Whether you're a longtime fan or just discovering his music for the first time, exploring Joy Orbison's discography is sure to be a rewarding experience. From deep grooves that will move your body to introspective tunes that will touch your soul, there's something for everyone in his diverse catalog. Join the journey of this influential artist as he pushes boundaries and shapes the future of electronic music.

Joy Orbison - the artist name of Peter O'Grady - presents his first ever long form project. The fourteen track mixtape titled still slipping vol. 1 is the latest creative milestone from an artist who has been shaping and redefining the electronic music landscape since his teens. Over a decade into a career that has seen him constantly defying categorization, Joy Orbison is more in-demand and relevant than ever.

Highly anticipated would be an understatement - so influential are his releases to date, it's difficult to believe he's never released a full length project. The name of the mixtape may already be familiar - an evolution from 2019's acclaimed Slipping EP and also the name of a Joy Orbison curated radio station ("Still Slipping: Los Santos") within Grand Theft Auto's immersive world - but in terms of scope and ambition, still slipping vol.1 is without doubt O'Grady's boldest and most expansive project yet.

still slipping vol.1 is the next evolution in his journey. Fans of Joy Orbison's DJ sets and radio shows will already be aware of his diverse tastes and inspirations, represented here through a roll call of delicately curated, mainly UK, collaborators that include Herron, James Massiah, Bathe, Léa Sen, Goya Gumbani and Tyson. Just as important are the voices Joy Orbison's family - mum, dad, sister Sarah, uncle Frankie, uncle Keith (recently departed), auntie Helen and cousins Lola, Mia and Leighann, who was the first person to introduce O’Grady to drum and bass and garage as a kid and stars on the mixtape’s cover art. They appear throughout the record via a series of voice notes, his only contact with his family during this year of worldwide lockdown and an intimate, vicarious glimpse into the personal world of an artist who has generally side-stepped the public gaze.

The result is Joy Orbison's best music to date and a powerful distillation of his musical career so far. Recorded in his Walworth Window studio in south east London, this is serious, future-facing sound system music cut through with a sense of warmth and playfulness much needed for these times.
