Also, his recent track "Concentrate", which was signed to the legendary Farris Wheel Recordings, received support from Sam Divine, Vanilla Ace and Black V Neck, scored a Tech House Hype Top 10 chart position, received a Beatport Editor's Hype Pick, and was even featured by Dirty Bird Radio as the intro track for episode 418!

An experienced producer, promoter and performer, Joe is always happy to share his industry knowledge with others, and enjoys doing his part to foster the next generation of Canadian talent.

Dance floor romancer, rhythmical renaissance man, and preceptor of positive vibes: this is the Groove Antenna.   Adept in a range of subjects that spans a degree in HVAC/R, bike mechanics, computer building, silly walks, old school vinyl rave DJing, and producing insatiable beats.  Founder/owner of Ravetank Records. The one and only unstoppable Ravetank!

This ol' rave relic cares not for rhythmical rules and follows no trends.  He relies on his audio acumen to decimate dance floors from dusk til' dawn; with one prime directive,  to transform you in to a sweat soaked hot mess of rave gravy while you dance like no one is watching, and finally leaving you exhausted and enraptured wondering "what jus' happened".   

Getting his start back in the after hour glory days of the East Coast rave scene, The Groove Antenna, (formally Jacksonstrut), has a love for music that is matched only by his passion for dancing.  During a long musical revolution through many genres of electronic music he has been bringing the groove, swing, funk, soul and jack to dance floors from Nova Scotia to Quebec for the better part of two decades, closing out such clubs as Reflections, The Palace, La Sonar, Sub Rosa, Nitro, Oxygen and many others along side of some of the industries biggest names including: 
Inland Knights, Doc Martin, Fort Knox 5, Bobby C Sound TV, Snails, Rescue, DJ Mes, The Funk Hunters, A-Paul, Corduroy Mavericks, Jose Zaragoza, Iz & Diz, Dok Link, Scratch Bastid, Veev, and DJ Dan to name a few.  

Jacksonstrut, ‘aka’ The Groove Antenna, combines high energy stage presence with seductive vocals, funky bass lines, driving rhythms, and pounding drums to create an intimate atmosphere all his own.  Known for his epic sunrise sets at the Evolve Festival, and his funky filtered after hours sets, The Groove Antenna can often be found dancing harder behind the decks than most of the crowd.  His love of music has been influenced over the years by artists such as The Greenskeepers, Moloko, Modjo, Fatboy Slim, Armand Van Heldon, Cassius, and DJ Dan, as well as by local artists including Dale Mannette, Tommy Knuckles and Rickey Reid.
