Coming out of Southampton, UK, Artful Dodger is one of the biggest and most active garage bands on the scene. With almost two decades in the business, the band has travelled the world and produced hits that put them on the map of garage and house music across the globe.
Originally formed by Mark Hill and Peter Devereux, the band is now fronted by MC Alistair and DJ Dave Low. The band released their first and only album, It’s All About the Stragglers, in 2000 and it went on to be certified Gold after reaching the 18th spot in the UK chart.
Artful Dodger’s real commercial success came from ‘Re-Rewind’, which featured on their debut album alongside Craig David. The song went Platinum in the UK and reached the No. 2 spot and is also one of the key tracks in David’s career, as he went on to achieve further success. The track ‘Movin’ Too Fast’ also hit No. 2, but fell just behind ‘Re-Rewind’, only achieving Gold status.
Since their initial successes, Artful Dodger have taken a more house music angle, and have had a lot of success in the rapidly evolving dance music scene. The duo are known to be one of the most energetic and versatile acts in the business and they are regularly in demand as they tour the world and some of the biggest festivals on the calendar.
Artful Dodger’s career has also seen MC Alistair and DJ Dave Low perform alongside music heavyweights Busta Rhymes, Calvin Harris, Skepta and many more.
