Heartless Crew were an English garage sound system from London, that consisted of three members: MC's Bushkin, Mighty Moe, and DJ Fonti.

Mighty Moe started out as a hip-hop DJ. His parents are from the Middle-East. Bushkin and Fonti have West Indian backgrounds.

It was established in 1992 when the four met at North London's Holloway Boys School. Their inspiration was taken from Buju Banton, R. Kelly, Shabba, MC Det and Brockie. They started off playing at house parties and small clubs, moving through to a residency at Chimes nightclub in Hackney in 1996.

By 1998, they had joined the pirate radio station, Mission 90.6 FM, pioneering a mix of R&B, hip-hop, jungle and dancehall derived sounds, taking its cues straight from the Jamaican sound system tradition, while adding fresh and modern elements from UK garage. In 2002, they signed to BBC 1Xtra, where they presented their Sunday evening programme. They also released a debut compilation album, Heartless Crew presents Crisp Biscuit Vol 1, closely followed by their debut single, "The Heartless Theme aka 'The Superglue Riddim'". The single reached number 21 in the UK Singles Chart in May 2002. The music video for "The Heartless Theme" was directed by Andy Hylton. They left 1Xtra in 2006.
