Boddika, born Al Green, is a British DJ and producer widely recognized for his innovative blend of techno, electro, and UK bass. Emerging from Manchester, Green first gained prominence as one-half of the influential drum and bass duo Instra:mental, pushing experimental boundaries alongside Damon Kirkham (Jon Convex). In 2010, he adopted the Boddika alias, quickly garnering attention through a series of releases on Nonplus, Swamp81, and S.
U.F., distinguished by raw drum machine rhythms and industrial textures.
Boddika's collaborations with Joy Orbison, including the acclaimed "Froth," "Mercy," and "Swims," cemented his reputation for crafting club anthems that fuse mechanical precision with funk-laden grooves. His solo productions, marked by stripped-back arrangements and robust low-end, have become staples in underground sets across Europe and beyond. As a label boss at Nonplus Records, Boddika has championed forward-thinking sounds and fostered a close-knit community of like-minded artists, contributing to the evolution of UK dance music.
Active as both a performer and curator, Boddika is celebrated for uncompromising DJ sets that traverse techno, electro, house, and breaks, challenging conventions while maintaining dancefloor energy. Through relentless creativity and a refusal to conform to genre purity, Boddika remains a central figure in contemporary electronic music.
