Oxide & Neutrino are an English DJ and MC garage duo from London, consisting of Alex Rivers (Oxide), and Mark Osei-tutu (Neutrino). [1] [2] [3]
Their first single " Bound 4 da Reload (Casualty)" entered at the top of the UK Singles Chart in April 2000. [4] It is known for sampling the theme music to the BBC medical drama series Casualty, ITV police drama The Bill [5] and also contains samples of dialogue from the 1998 film Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.
Their track "Shoot to Kill" appears, played from car stereos, in the film Ali G Indahouse. It is also featured on the original soundtrack CD.
Oxide & Neutrino are members of UK garage group So Solid Crew. Oxide also produced tracks on Lisa Maffia's debut album, First Lady, and the track "Industry Lady" on Face's mixtape Sign 2 the Block.
The duo made a return to the music scene in 2007, first with new single "What R U" released on 14 May, and then with their fourth album 2nd Chance following on 11 June. An interview with Darker Romello of Mayhem TV entitled "The Return of Oxide & Neutrino" appeared on Grimedaily, announcing new material set to be released in the summer of 2011. [6]
In 2013, the duo appeared alongside many other garage pioneers in a documentary exploring the legacy of UK garage, Rewind 4Ever: The History of UK Garage. [7]
The duo signed a new record deal in January 2021 with New State Music and released the track "Where Do We Go" featuring Leo the Lion. [8]
