Drop Music have been in the business since 1998; their catalogue is renowned in the dance music community for the quality and consistency of its work. Adopting various guises to showcase different aspects of their sound, including Party Criminals, In House Alterations, Grand Theft Audio and Big Audio Spidermite, Toka Project, Larry Fives and Inland Knights, the duo of Laurence Ritchie and Andy Riley have been responsible for most of the Drop catalogue.  As enthusiastic about DJing as studio production Ritchie and Riley have maintained a relentless international touring agenda since their collaboration began.

Under the Inland Knights moniker the pair have been fruitful, releasing tracks on labels such as Ralph Lawson's famed 20:20 Vision imprint, Panhandle Records, Vista, Siesta, Sunflower, NRK, Low Pressings, the classic 'Hot Soup' on So-Sound, Cheeky, Doubledown and many more. "Creative Spaces," Inland Knights and Drop Music's first full-length album, was released in 2001 to widespread critical praise for its funky jams and deep, grooving melodies. For the CD version of the album, the pair opted to create a live mix rather than simply re-releasing the vinyl in another medium.

In 2007, to mark the 50th Drop Music release, Inland Knights released a two part EP package to widespread acclaim, with 50 Part 1 becoming an instant rarity and Part 2 becoming yet another a Drop classic. 2007 also saw the launch of Raise, Drops sister label.

Into 2008 and Inland knights are busy in the studio with remixes, EPs and compilations, as well as regular DJ slots every weekend.  Drop Music is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a double CD compilation with all the label’s past artists putting forward new tracks and some exclusive new remixes.
