Josel

Josel’s earliest music memories are in the shape of his mother’s Boney M tapes and local greek folklore music festivals. Starting from those two extremes, Josel went through numerous musical taste transformations. Growing up in a family where his older brother is a semi-professional singer and his younger brother a painter, it was no surprise that Josel chose music production and DJing as a way of expression. Starting mixing vinyl at the age of 15 and working for various bars and clubs in his home town provided him with a variety of musical input. His move to the UK to study in 1996, proved a defining moment. Countless record shops of new and old releases, from every spectrum of music fed him for the next few years, until he found what satisfied his taste most of all: deep and progressive house. At that time he met his often musical partner, Pedro, who has been a source of inspiration and imaginative collaboration. At the moment, Josel is based in Manchester (UK) where he also runs a deep house night. He has produced more than 7 remixes for acts like C-Jay, Mick Wilson and Eelke Kleijn; more than 15 original releases; one album; appearances in 5 compilations, all together on more than 15 labels. And there is much more to come in the near future. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
