Atomic Hooligan

Atomic Hooligan are a DJ/production duo from Watford, Hertfordshire, England, consisting of Matt Welch and Terry Ryan.[1]

The duo released their first 12" single, "Servin' it Up", on Botchit & Scarper in 2001. They subsequently released several singles and mix CDs on the label, leading to their debut album, You Are Here, in 2005. The album was later licensed to Village Again/Side Out in Japan. In 2006, it won 'Album of the Year' at the International Breakspoll Awards[citation needed]. Singles from the album include "Just One More," "Head" (featuring Pav), "Seven 10 Split" (featuring Justine Berry from Hey Gravity), and the Aquasky remix of "Wait 'Til Your Sleeping" (featuring Carpet Face).

In 2008, Atomic Hooligan won Best Live Act at the International Breakspoll Awards for their live tour supporting their first album.[2] That same year, they released their second album, Sex, Drugs & Blah Blah Blah.[1]

Atomic Hooligan has produced remixes for Underworld (Born Slippy, Cowgirl), The Egg, Lee Coombes, Tayo, Chris Carter, Aquasky, Ils, Paranoid Jack, and DJ Hal.

In addition to DJing, the duo has performed as a live band.[1] They played in the dance tent at the 2024 edition of Glastonbury Festival.[3] Their DJ sets incorporate breaks, hip-hop, house, drum & bass, techno, and turntablism.
