Welcome to the Official Soundcloud account for Dj and Producer Joma©

Being a follower and regular visitor on the scene in the early 90’s  Joma© fell pretty much by accident into his first residency  having spent time learning and playing with friends. This was followed by other appointments and gigs before the chance of moving abroad came into play. 

The time-out was long, somewhere around 25 years but who’s counting. Returning to new technology, new sounds and a new country Joma© was back in 2020.

After a chance meeting with some new friends from the scene and a realisation that the love for electronic music had never faltered, the time was right to start all over again.

Joma© plays progressive house, melodic techno and techno if he is allowed to choose himself. He has been performing in Sweden at different venues since 2021 and is a regular on the Essential Clubbers Radio and Elev8  radio, two popular uk electronic music radio stations in the uk.

Joma© always manages to bring that melodic style and musical touch that has been part of his signature sound since the early 90’s in everything he does, from calm progressive mixes in the afternoon to finding the right melodic sections to build the atmosphere in a late night driving Techno set. 

For Joma© it’s about the atmosphere, the crowd, the energy, and that feeling we all love, of not only being a part of something, but actually belonging to it.
