"House music that manages to stay soulful and contemporary but still remains true to its essential ingredients". "superstar of the underground...." "relentlessly percussive but it is percussion that comes from the recognisable repository of the African diaspora . In other words, this is bang up to date club music but one that draws its strength from deep waters. If deep house hadn't become so laid back of late this would bear that label. The difference is the level of the energy. This has depth but also is propelled along by an engaging, take-no-prisoners pulse". New York house legend, Joeski has been blowing up the club scene for over a decade, and is definitely one of the most prevalent DJ/producers today. Joeski started DJing in 1989 doing house parties in Queens NYC before hooking up getting his first break with some promoters in 1991 to DJ at the Wunder Bar NY. A member of notorious Chocolate Factory collective, he began his reign at the legendary Limelight and NASA which was where he got into the rave circuit hooking up with DJ Keoki to play at Save the Robots a Thursday night/morning afterhours . He even earned himself a spot as one of the few East Coasters ever to play at the San Francisco Full Moon Parties.. At the start of the early nineties Joeski's Djing started to take him all over the US before he finally settled into a new residency at the famed Roxy Club on Fridays for a night called Together playing alongside the US's finest DJ's including Danny T, Little Louie Vega and Roger S. The high profile Roxy residency meant a flood of dates for gigs all over the US including a new residency at Groove Society in Montreal Ð Joeski's name and music was now starting to spread rapidly. Having started production work in 1996, Joeski has released such classics as the "6400 Project", "The Sax Attack", "Deep Sessions", "The Groundfloor ", and his newest self-titled EP on Moezee Muzik "Joeski". In addition to his non-stop Djing schedule, Joeski's imprint, Maya Recordings(named after his daughter and founded in 2000), has also been causing a major stir on both sides of the Atlantic, and his own production work has led to a number of releases on labels such as Shaboom, Moody, Elektric Soul, Greyhound, NRK, Siesta, Junior Boys Own, Red Melon and many others. He has produced with fellow artists like DJ Chus (for the classic 'El Amor') and Dano (of Red Melon Records famed as Twisted Pair). His deep, sexy tech-house appeals to the masses, which has helped make him a driving force in dance music today. Since starting the label with Chris Anastasi, Maya Recordings has released many singles creating a huge wave of interest and legions of fans with their fresh sound. Joeski continues to criss cross the globe spreading his sounds from Australia to London to Bogota to Ibiza! He can be heard globally as he is consistently invited to play at the cream of the clubs worldwide. Joeski
