HEARTLESS CREW

Named so because their hearts in the music, the Heartless Crew was established in 1992. Recent award winners for ‘Outstanding Contribution to Music’ they’re celebrating 30 years of dedication to their music and a desire to spread positive vibes. Heartless Crew have become a widely loved and respected household name and are recognised as innovators and an inspiration to the entire UK scene. Consisting of three core members, Fonti, Bushkin and Mighty Moe, Heartless represent one of the UK’s most dynamic and charismatic street-reared brands of recent years. Making great music, having a good time and creating the right vibe is the essence of what they do. The roots of Heartless stem from the ideology of a Jamaican ‘Sound System’ where everyone works together to achieve a common goal.

Attending a Heartless Crew event is an education in itself so expect to hear everything. They will play an Elephant Man dubplate one minute and then be freestyling over a Kylie Minogue instrumental the next. These guys are not afraid to break boundaries. Part of the Heartless Crew’s undeniable popularity is due to their diverse backgrounds. Mighty Moe started out as a Hip Hop DJ. His parents are from the Middle-East and he can sometimes be found chatting in Arabic over the mic. Bushkin and Fonti have West-Indian backgrounds where the sounds of Reggae, Soul, Dancehall and Soca are the rhythms of everyday life. Around the time they started they were also heavily influenced by the Jungle/Drum & Bass scene. They somehow managed to combine all of these sounds together and make their own Heartless style which they call ‘Crisp Biscuit’. Be prepared for the energy that Heartless Crew are gonna bring to City Splash 2024.
