Our June 2025 ‘Monthly Techno Mixshow’ features a one hour, fourteen minute mix from Josh Tong.  This closing set was recorded live for the Entropoic x Green Machine show at Smartbar in Chicago on 12/5/24.

Josh Tong is a classically trained artist and DJ specializing in textural, atmospheric, and ethereal techno. He takes a methodical and intentional approach to his sets reflecting the ways in which classical concertos are structured and fabricated. This curious approach illustrates the harmonious flow of energy between melodic elements and atmospheric tones through deeply layering tracks creating soundscapes rather than a singular sound. 

His thoughtful, philosophical approach to music guides his project, Entropic - a music-centered experience and platform that transcends genres and honors DJing as an artform always pushing the boundaries of sound and space. Josh has showcased local talent through Entropic at Chicago’s beloved Smartbar and continues to build community through these deliberate iterations. He is also a resident of Chicago’s techno collective and label, Format.
