D-LiFE 2024 Artist Mix by Joshua Iz

Music heals the soul. I’m constantly searching and collecting mixes and make endless playlists. Hopefully someone can get as much joy from them as I do. I love it.

Hey everyone...I make music because I love music and how it makes me feel. It's as simple as that. The music I create has to have feeling, and more often than not what I call 'the feeling' — that feeling that you get when the hair on the back of your neck stands up and demands your attention.

I'm heavily influenced by design and patterns. Reggae riddims are like mathematical formulas for me — the ultimate patterns waiting to be discovered. This notion of patterns can translate to any music...if you can make something with 3 or 4 elements that can capture an audience yet still be relevant generations later, you've done something amazing. 

Not all of my tracks follow that formula but I try to let the sounds and elements speak for themselves in any track.
