Joi N’ Juno is the new project from singer, composer, multi instrumentalist, producer and audio engineer David Baluteau aka “Damny”. 
David started his musical career 25 years ago as the founding member of “La Phaze”, quickly establishing a strong reputation and cult following with his energising live performances. La Phaze toured extensively for 14 years, playing more than 700 shows in 35 countries and recording 5 albums, while also collaborating with artists such as Gogol bordello, manu Chao and Keny Arkana. 22 years later  La Phaze maintains their loyal fan base and recently finished a nationwide tour of France.

David has joined Manu Chao and Radio Bemba as keyboard player and back up singer for their European and usa tour and also Calypso Rose for the tour of her last album “far from home”, which obtained a French music award.
These years of experience shaped David into a highly skilled studio producer.  drawing on these strengths he built his professional studio “96db studio”, where he mixes and produces for artists such as Keny Arkana, Sol Pereyra, Yawdel, Orange Blossom, Elephanz and others.. His skill set sees him adapting to create musical works for synchronisation parts for TV shows and advertising, for prestigious companies like Bmg UK, Score Addiction and BAM Music. He was honoured with a Production Music Award in 2012.

In 2022, David Baluteau embarked on a new creative journey, creating his latest project “Joi N’J	uno”. The sound of Joi N’ Juno blends warm vintage keyboards, funky guitars and grooving basslines with triumphant horns and heady vocals. Joi N Juno fuses influences from African and tropical funk and disco traditions, splicing these spicy outernational flavours with the slick production of modern disco & the punch of house beats to create an intoxicating and invigorating recipe that challenges anyone to sit still! 

Joi N’ Juno has seen solid support from artists such as Folamour, David Penn, Nickodemus & Tiger Balm and has been remixed by scene luminaries such as Art of Tones & Hotmood.

In 2023 David started to record his first solo album under the new moniker, titled “Samemala”, which is signed to Canopy Records, scheduled for release in early October on vinyl and digital format, followed by a tour of live shows.

Joi N’Juno is a project of soulful liberation. It is the sound of joy and the sound of triumph in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles.

Originally from London, UK, I've now made New Zealand my home.

I started Djing when I was supposed to be a student in the early 90's. My first 'big' gigs in were Stoke on Trent, UK alongside Kelvin Andrews at 'Sure is Pure', going under the name of 'The Michael Cained Experience'.

Back in the big smoke I had a residency for a few years at the legendary "Mudd Club" at Bagleys, run by infamous UK promoter Phillip Salon. Any kiwi who has spent time in the UK will probably have gotten messed up there once or twice.

I then ran a popular little night called 'Damn Right' with Freestyle records' 'Sleeve' (of 'Hipness' fame)  in London's Brick lane  - it was always a full on Block Party Funk and Old school Hip hop night.

"Damn Right" made the jump to New Zealand, and ran for six months during summer 2008. It will be returning soon when we've found a good home !

I Started producing my own stuff in 2002, and hooked up with Sleeve to put out some tunes on  Adrian Gibson's Freestyle Records. "So Fine" sold out on vinyl, after being picked up and championed by Sir Norman Jay himself, who dropped it as his 'last tune' throughout summer 05 at The Big Chill, Notting Hill Carnival and the festival circuit...

So Fine was then released on "Norman Jays - Good Times  25th Anniversary Edition" alongside Marvin Gaye, James Brown, Masters at work and NZ's own Recloose, and included on Freestyles 'Single Minded' compilation. The flip "Kick It" can be found on Freestyle's "Collected Singles 8".

I've Been in NZ for nearly 5 years now. I currently co-host "Hip Hop Underground" on New Zealand's very own GeorgeFM with local legend 'Stormin Norman'. The show airs on Sunday nights from 10pm-12am, or breakfast for most of my old mates listening online in the UK. You can catch the show at http://www.georgefm.co.nz

Julien was born in the seaside resort of Deauville in Normandy, where he began working as a DJ at 16. Deauville is the home of Casino Barrière, arguably the most beautiful casino in Europe, where he played for three years every weekend, including for private events for brands such as Cartier, Printemps and Louis Vuitton. 
In 2012, he moved to St. Tropez and became the resident DJ at the Moorea Beach Club for three seasons. During the winter seasons, he also performed for luxury hotels in Courchevel (K2 collection). 
In 2015, he moved to the UK to take on the Head of Music role for Individual Restaurants (Piccolino's, Restaurant Bar & Grill, and Gino d'Acampo). 
In 2020, his DJ set started airing every Saturday night on Virgin Radio France, and he is now a resident DJ for Radio FG (FG Chic) in France. His podcast is frequently one of the most played in the country. Julien’s versatile and open-format style allows him to mould his DJ set to fit a large and diverse audience. 
He often performs at corporate parties and events all over Europe, including Barcelona, Stockholm, Copenhagen, London, Edinburgh, and more.
