Dillinja

Dillinja is a DJ and producer of jungle and drum and bass music from the United Kingdom. He's also a record producer and entrepreneur.

He's one of the most prolific producers in the drum and bass scene, with over 500 releases produced since 1991. He set up Valve Recordings in partnership with long-term collaborator Lemon D, with whom he also designed and built the Valve Sound System. Additionally, they have also opened a specialist mastering and vinyl cutting studio, Ear2ground.

Albums include My Sound (1993-2004), Cybotron, Big Bad Bass, and The Killa-Hertz made in cooperation with Lemon D.

The spelling of his nickname, Dillinja, has changed since he started releasing vinyl, as it was found on some older vinyl discs as Dillinger. The origin is likely to have come from one of reggae's earliest MCs, who called himself Dillinger after the famous American gangster John Dillinger.

One of Dillinja's other aliases, Capone, is also linked to one of Dillinger's contemporaries, Alcapone, who produced reggae and ran a sound system in Jamaica.
