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.
Too Late To Say No
Datsik Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're still in, we can see the sun
Just keep it trippin, keep it fun
Yea keep it flippin, get it done
Just follow the bottle, I′ll take you there
Stuck in the house with a full blank stare
Nowhere to go, should go with the flow
Too early to stop and too late to say no
It's getting late but the night is young
We're still in, we can see the sun
Just keep it trippin, keep it fun
Yea keep it flippin, get it done
Just follow the bottle, I′ll take you there
Stuck in the house with a full blank stare
Nowhere to go, should go with the flow
Too early to stop and too late to say no
Now bounce
Now bounce
Get the fuck up
It′s getting late but the night is young
We're still in, we can see the sun
Just keep it trippin, keep it fun
Yea keep it flippin, get it done
Just follow the bottle, I′ll take you there
Stuck in the house with a full blank stare
Nowhere to go, should go with the flow
Too early to stop and too late to say no
