Fake Blood is the stage name of Theo Keating, an English DJ, musician and producer born in December 1972. He is recognised for his work in British house music and electronic dance music, releasing material under the Fake Blood alias after his earlier success with the hip‑hop/big‑beat duo the Wiseguys.
Keating first gained prominence as one half of the Wiseguys, a British hip‑hop/big‑beat group formed with Paul Eve. The Wiseguys achieved mainstream exposure with tracks such as “Start the Commotion” and “Ooh La La”. After the Wiseguys period, Keating adopted the Fake Blood moniker to focus on house‑oriented productions and DJ performances. More recently, he has been involved in the duo Black Ghosts alongside Simon William Lord, formerly of the rock band Simian.
Fake Blood’s output is rooted in British house and electro‑clash, drawing on the rhythmic sensibilities of big‑beat and hip‑hop that characterized his work with the Wiseguys. His productions often feature aggressive basslines, distorted synths and a dance‑floor‑focused energy typical of early‑2000s house music.

While primarily known for his house productions as Fake Blood, Keating’s broader career includes influential contributions to the UK big‑beat scene with the Wiseguys and ongoing work in the electronic duo Black Ghosts. His tracks have been noted for their high‑energy club appeal, and his name remains associated with the early‑2000s resurgence of gritty, bass‑heavy house music.
