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 "Party in the Sewer" appear to be commenting on the state of humanity and the planet. The opening lines suggest a sense of loss and forgetfulness among the current generation, where the mistakes of the past have been ignored or overlooked. The next lines describe a situation where humanity is exposed - this could refer to the exposure of our faults and wrongdoings, or to the fact that we have become vulnerable and exposed to the dangers of the world.
The chorus of the song, "Party in the Sewer," seems to reflect a sense of resignation or nihilism. The idea of a party in a sewer suggests that we have given up on traditional notions of beauty or cleanliness, and instead are celebrating something that is less than ideal. This could be seen as a commentary on our current state of affairs - we have polluted the planet, destroyed ecosystems, and ignored the needs of future generations. In the face of all this, perhaps the only thing we can do is party in the muck and mire of our own creation.
Despite this somewhat bleak outlook, the end of the song hints at a possible path forward. The reference to an "underground superhero" could be interpreted as a call to action. In other words, perhaps the only hope for the future lies in the hands of those who are willing to take on the tough work of cleaning up the mess we've made.
