Josh The Funky 1 hails from Chicago, USA the home of House Music. As a DJ, producer, remixer, radio/podcast host and founder of the label Funktion Recordings, he’s firmly etched his way into the fabric of Dance music culture. Recently being hailed as “one to watch” in Mixmag magazine (UK) the world has begun taking notice of one of North Americas finest exports. In a world where everyone wants to be DJ, he has carved his niche by combining superb showman ship with well honed DJ skills. “For me Deejaying is about being an entertainer and a music selector, I never have to pretend like I’m feeling the music, it shows naturally and its infectious to others in the crowd.” A DJ now for over a decade, his travels across the world have developed his unique musical sense, easily genre hopping between styles, it’s not surprising to hear a blend of Big-room house, uplifting vocals, tech, progressive, tribal and funky jacking beats all side by side. “I look at my sets like cooking , you need different ingredients and spices mixed together or you just have a bland meal” While some DJ’s are content simply playing record to record, “The Funky 1” has become synonymous with using scratching, loops, acapellas, & effects, while playing on three CDJ decks, allowing for an unparallel level of creativity. “For me one of the best things is when people ask me what remix that was of a record I played, and I tell them I did it live on the spot..... Even DJs’ who have trained ears will sometimes ask me.....that’s when you know your doing something right.”
