Joseph’s love for dance music began when he was first exposed to vinyl DJ’s in the early 90’s and was influenced by talented giants such as Danny Tenaglia, Keoki, and John Digweed.  His own DJ career began in 1998 when he purchased his first pair of Technics 1200’s and it has been a constant evolution since.  Joseph’s dedication to the craft of proper mixing remains paramount and he is a firm believer that a DJ set should be a live multi-sensory experience.  His performances are comprised of music, live laser visuals, and videos.
