Life and Career
Joe Powers grew up in Pilton, Edinburgh[10]. As a teenager, he began experimenting with grime sample packs and sampling from YouTube[11]. He started working with DJs Rapture 4D and Polonis at LVLS Radio in Glasgow becoming heavily involved in the Scottish grime scene[12][13]. At 19, Powers was signed to Kode9's record label Hyperdub[14] and released his debut EP The Highland Mob[15] and debut album Insula the following year[16].
In 2021, Powers released the album Siren Spine Sysex[17] for which he was shortlisted for the Scottish Album of The Year Award[18]. The album was described by Beggars Banquet Records as "blended grime and 90s synths with Gaelic folk as a commentary on the tourist industry’s commodification of Scottishness"[19].
For the release of EP Canticle Hardposte, in 2025, Powers collaborated with filmmaker Finn Dove to create a music video for the lead single uHazsh[20] this time on his own label Shleekit Doss. He opened for A.G. Cook at The Roundhouse in London[21] and won Best Electronic artist at the Scottish Alternative Music Awards[22] the same year.
In 2026, Powers returned to Hyperdub to drop the EP Exchequer[23] for which he worked with Dove again to create a music video for the track Disease Again[24].
