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.

Overdose
Over over overdose
The lyrics to Datsik's song "Overdose (original mix)" seem to refer to the experience of taking a dangerous amount of drugs or substances, as suggested by the phrase "feel the impact of my overdose." The repetition of the word "dose" throughout the song also reinforces this interpretation, as does the repeated use of the word "overdose." The line "the number you have tiled is not (...) at this time" may refer to a telephone message or automated response, which could suggest a feeling of disconnection or isolation.
Overall, the lyrics seem to be describing a state of being overwhelmed or overpowered by some kind of substance or addiction. The repetition of the word "oh" in the chorus may suggest a kind of trance-like state or loss of control, as the singer experiences the intense effects of their overdose.

by far one of my favorite dub artists
TheBallinCollin96
Looking back, this had to be one of his most involved songs to make. The transformer part alone is the most technical one I might have ever heard and he switches between a lot of sounds quicker than most dubstep of this time. The fades are better than he's ever done.
