Beetles has described his sound as "dark and robotic," while trying to remain "funky and gangster" and "dirty," and has mentioned the significant influence hip-hop has had on his music. He has cited a wide range of musical inspirations, including Wu-Tang Clan members RZA and Method Man.
In 2009 alone, Datsik had 7 number one releases on Beatport, and he has had successful vinyl sales on many other sites such as Chemical Records, Red-Eye, and Juno.
The stage name "Datsik" was inspired by his former Xbox Live Gamertag, which was itself inspired by Russian MMA fighter Viacheslav Datsik.
In March 2018, Beetles was accused of sexual assault spanning multiple years, resulting in public backlash and cancellation of all Datsik appearances at upcoming shows and festivals. He officially stepped down from his label Firepower Records.
In mid-2020 Datsik returned to the music scene by uploading 4 songs to his soundcloud page, and at the end of the year he uploaded a fifth song dubbed "Year of The Dragon". Troy has however not publicly released an album or gotten signed to any labels as of yet.

Who did that to you?
-He is a lone wolf, many enemies, his name is Datsik
Hehe
Heh-heh
You bastard!
I'm gonna find out how much you really know
Young master
If you can defeat my 3 fist style
Ah-heh-heh, then I'll let you leave here
They're going crazy
And if you carry on like this.
Well then you're going to die
Hah!
You're clever with words
I'll still kill you
Pleading won't help you now, fool
Heh-heh
Heh
You bastard!
Where did you learn that Kung-Fu from?
I'm gonna find out how much you really know
Young master
If you can defeat my 3 fist style
Ah-heh-heh, then I'll let you leave here
They're going crazy
And if you carry on like this.
Well then you're going to die
Hah!
Now that he knows my sworn secret

The lyrics to Datsik's song "3 Fist Style" tell a story of a lone wolf named Datsik who has many enemies. The lyrics begin with someone asking him who hurt him, and he responds that he is a lone wolf and has many enemies. The song then continues with a dialogue between Datsik and someone else who challenges him to a kung-fu fight. The challenger warns Datsik that he will die if he continues to fight, but Datsik declares that he will still kill the challenger.
The lyrics are open to interpretation, but it is possible to see them as a commentary on the dangers of violence and the importance of remaining vigilant in the face of threats. Datsik may be seen as symbolic of anyone who has faced adversity and has chosen to face their challenges head-on, regardless of the risks. The song's upbeat tempo and danceable beat belie its cautionary message, reminding us that courage can come at a high cost.

@chrisbaltazar880
This is straight underground dubstep type stuff. Underrated real shit. Props to Datsik.
@wowfanatic100
God damn I remember blasting this in my car even though I didn't have any sound system. One of my favorites.
@fobiojames
Yeahh!!! My big bro did the same and those are the best memories man
@Aireon7
I remember my first "sub" setup was a bass guitar amplifier in the trunk running with a power inverter. Sketchy but it worked.
@ianf1217
First dubstep song I ever heard. Been hooked ever since.
@JonDGAF
me too.....they need to drop more shit like this.Not overly complex, just bangin bass with a dope ass synth! this shit is gangster as fuck!
@sparrow867
Did Datsik loose his main template for his original sound? idk. this is dope but the first phase really touched hearts with the basslines he created. No Disrespect to the artist. Im just saying that before the industry changed dubsteps sound was so much more raw and in tune
@fabianb4893
It takes a different type of efford to create a bassline like this and you cannot do it on command. With the success comes the requiredment to produce music like a machine.
@ValChronification
This is old Datsik wot u onnabout? I agree about his new new stuff.
@Brandonzimmerman85
Datsik needs to make a comeback! Still waiting on chargers or anything else more solid than fb allegations. We still out here reppin ninja squad
