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.
Just Saiyan'
Datsik Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You may have invaded my mind and my body, but there's one thing a Saiyan always keeps: His pride!
Final [?]
How dare you, you fools?
The lyrics to Datsik's song "Just Saiyan'" references the popular anime series Dragon Ball Z, where the characters often scream the phrase "it's over 9,000!" during intense battles. The line is a reference to the power level of one of the characters, Goku, when it exceeds 9,000. In Datsik's song, this line is used to signify a rise in power or intensity in the music.
The second line, "You may have invaded my mind and my body, but there's one thing a Saiyan always keeps: His pride!" is a reference to the Saiyan characters in the show, who are a race of powerful warriors with a strict code of honor. The line suggests that even if the enemy has physically defeated the singer, they have not succeeded in breaking their spirit and pride.
The last line, "Final [?]", is unclear in its meaning, but it could be a reference to the "final form" or ultimate power level of a character in the show. It could also simply be a way to end the song on an intense and dramatic note.

It's over 9, 000!
I have surpassed my limits and achieved an extraordinary level of power.
You may have invaded my mind and my body, but there's one thing a Saiyan always keeps: His pride!
Even though you may have tried to control me physically and mentally, my sense of self-worth and dignity remain intact.
Final [?]
I am about to deliver a decisive blow that will end the battle in my favor.
How dare you, you fools?
I am outraged by your actions or words, which are foolish and disrespectful towards me as a Saiyan warrior.
