Who is thatmanmonkz?

Founding member of Sheffield underground collective Small Arms Fiya, Scott ‘thatmanmonkz’ Moncrieff was a much-hyped underground DJ who over the years has shared the decks with heavyweights such as Carl Craig, Grandmaster Flash, Phil Asher, Benji B, Recloose and Roots Manuva.



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 – As producers and remixers they worked on a momentous collection of material, which included Jersey Street, Nubian Minds, Roots Manuva, Domu, Mark Rae and The Elektrons and Lo Tek Hi Fi. Their debut EP with Pete Simpson, and follow up with Ayah Marar was received with impressive acclaim, including Benji B and Ross Allen.



Small Arms Fiya re-launched in 2011 after a hiatus which ‘monkz used to experiment with new musical directions. Since then he has been busy producing, arranging, remixing and DJing- headlining Sheffield’s infamous Kabal Warehouse Party, Cargo, and playing alongside Fatlip from The Pharcyde, Hackman, and Martelo.



With his debut solo release, ‘The Man’ EP forthcoming on Tone Control Music, imminent 12’s from the ‘S & M’ project with fellow Steel City resident Daniel Swain, as well as remix and production duties pencilled in for vocalists Pete Simpson and Dnae Wellington, you can expect big things from ‘thatmanmonkz’.
