Artful Dodger is an influential UK garage duo that rose to prominence in the late 1990s and early 2000s, changing the face of British club music with their innovative approach. Originally consisting of producers Mark Hill and Pete Devereux, the heaviest footprints of Artful Dodger were imprinted on the music scene with their classic hits that encapsulated the vibrant and effervescent garage era. Hill and Devereux parted ways in the early 2000s, after which the Artful Dodger moniker has been used by different line-ups, most prominently by DJ and producer Dave Low.

Their debut album, "It's All About the Stragglers," features a slew of UK garage anthems like "Re-Rewind" and "Woman Trouble," tracks that not only dominated the UK charts but also played a key role in pioneering the garage movement globally. The combination of slick production, catchy hooks, and the contribution of then-upcoming artist Craig David provided a perfect formula for success. Artful Dodger continues to leave a legacy with a string of top hits, including memorable tunes like "Moving Too Fast" and "Please Don't Turn Me On." Their music has not only withstood the test of time but has been reintroduced to new audiences through remixes, such as the Disclosure remix of "Please Don't Turn Me On," ensuring their influence echoes well into the modern music landscape.
