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.

The lyrics to Datsik's song Athena are not in English and do not have an easily identifiable meaning in any specific language. It is possible that they are simply meant to add to the overall sound and rhythm of the song, rather than conveying a specific message. It is not uncommon for electronic dance music to use nonsensical or heavily distorted vocal samples in this way.
The repetitive nature of the lyrics and the "drop it" refrain suggest that this song was specifically designed with live performances in mind. The driving beat and intense energy of the track seem well-suited to a club or festival atmosphere, where the crowd is eager to dance and lose themselves in the music.
Overall, the appeal of Athena is likely to be in its visceral, physical experience rather than any particular lyrical content or deep messages.
