Let's Start The Dance

This week’s instalment comes from Josh Ray. The versatile Liverpool-based DJ who has spun at festivals including Africa Oyé, Positive Vibration and Festival Number 6 and found gigs in places like Addis Ababa and Amsterdam.

Drawing from a wealth of music, he’s played house, disco, Afro, Latin, jazz, soul, blues, dub and electronica in support of acts including Azymuth, Scientist, Tamikrest, The Apples, Banana Hill and Clap! Clap!

Josh manages Greg Wilson’s Super Weird Substance record label and has more recently begun to explore his own edits and mash-ups with Ché Wilson (another fellow Mixtape Allstar – check out Mixtape #13) and a cohort of like-minded DJs/musicians in the Fire House collective, whilst also forming the dub wise Super Weird System alongside legendary Ruthless Rap Assassin, Kermit Leveridge.
