Music and sounds of joeyq

No usual bio bullshit, just the simple truths and what matters to me.

Yes I use BPM Sync, Neural Mix and other Digital DJ tools, but only because I am the type of person that believes in embracing and evolving through technology and not be defined by and reliant on it. On the flip-side; I am happy to claim that I also put many earlier years of practice to good use when I learned the basics of beat counting, scratching and beat-juggling only by sheer will, determination and laborious practice alone. This was the time when Pioneer only made VCRs and Youtube was still distant a pipe-dream.

I always share track-ids and never try to act weirdly mysterious about it keeping it a secret. I also sometimes go out of my way to Shazaam several hour DJ mixes in order to reveal and share the artist and track names within it when the initial upload didn't include it.

But my roots are also very humble, because when I first started DJ'ing over 2 decades ago, getting the job done at my school's weekend party only required a microphone pre-amp mixer and 2 Walkmans for decks as I frantically eject and juggle several cassettes just to cue the next track. Paying for music and giving the artist credit where it's due is also a cornerstone of my ethics because I know what it is to have to sit in-front of the radio for hours each day, just to be able to record and archive my music library-- since that was the only feasible option for sourcing music at that time.

Wanting to not just play the music, but to create it as well also came as an early realization to me, and I first start making my first productions on Hip-Hop and Dance eJay when I was 14...making sure to note how cheesy and generic my first productions were, and boy were they cheesy and generic!I

I'm a cynical Technophile that likes his drums punchy, the percussion hypnotic, and main bass-line monotone but ultra-gnarly. My aim is to define my sound as glitchy-sweet Minimal-Techno music that is ultra dark and spooky but also laced with a heavy twist of booty shakin' perversion.

Oh, and I'm not too big of a fan of anything above 130 BPM unless its Drum & Bass. :)
