Dirty Tricks are Martin MY & Will Hensel who hail from North London.During the late 80's, early 90's Martin cut his teeth Dj-ing on pirate radio stations & at raves in warehouses & fields up & down the UK. Since the heady days of rave he has gone on to play many of the UK's bigger clubs such as Fabric, the Ministry Of Sound & The End as well as playing at many lesser known, more underground venues. Martin has also played for Space in Ibiza, Sancho Panza at the Nottinghill Carnival & in many countries including Panama, Russia & the USA.
As well as running renowned record shops over the last 15 years, production wise Martin has worked with & remixed such artists as The Dub Pistols, Shut Up & Dance, Peo De Pitte, Deep Dish, Hoxton Whores, Jesper Dahlback. He also helped start Audio Bug which had 10 releases in 2006/7/8/9 and is being relaunched in 2012.

Will Hensel: Will started out working in a North London studio for Leftfield, among many others.."The place had these ridiculous speakers, they blew me away!" says Will.. "I ended up assisting on the Leftfield album, setting up the gear, and skinning up a lot basically. What really impressed me was the attention to detail on the programming and sonics, like a pop production but for really banging music." More recently Will played the keyboards on The Dub Pistols 'Rum & Coke' album and is currently flat out finishing their new album with Barry Ashworth. "It is shaping up nicely" Will says.. "its going to be much more dance floor orientated than previous records with some Drum & Bass on there as well."
Dirty Tricks have had releases and remixes on Westway Records, Dusted Breaks, Big Square & Audio Bug Records.
