Scott ‘thatmanmonkz’ Moncrieff is a renowned DJ who has shared the decks with heavyweights Carl Craig, Grandmaster Flash, Phil Asher, Recloose and I.G. Culture among many others. Sharing a flat with Arctic Monkeys and M.I.A producer Ross Orton led to a crash course in production techniques and analogue synths, which inspired him to join forces with Toddla T (Radio 1) to form Small Arms Fiya. Small Arms Fiya created numerous releases and remixes over their 3 year collaboration which included Jersey Street, Nubian Minds, Roots Manuva, Domu, Mark Rae, The Elektrons and Lo Tek Hi Fi. Their debut EP with Pete Simpson, and follow up with Ayah Marar was received with impressive acclaim from Benji B, Ross Allen, Waajeed and more. Since Small Arms Fiya, ‘monkz has experimented with new musical directions, sound tracking and production techniques. He is now busy producing, arranging, remixing and DJing – headlining Sheffield’s infamous Kabal Warehouse Party, Cargo, City Fly, M.I.S. and other events and residencies. ‘monkz has recorded guest mixes for Rinse FM, Deeper Shades of House and RTE Pulse among many other shows and stations.

(P) & (C) 2013 Tone Control Music Sheffield’s Scott ‘thatmanmonkz’ Moncrieff cut his studio chops living with Ross Orton, producer of Arctic Monkeys and M.I.A, before going on to form Small Arms Fiya with Radio 1 mainstay Toddla T.
