Josh Wink
has always run ahead of the pack, as a DJ, label owner, producer, remixer,
and artist. With the release of Profound Sounds Vol. 2, Wink continues to
forge ahead, challenging established conventions of what a mix CD should be,
not only by remaining true to his mercurial aesthetic as a DJ, but also taking
advantage of technology to fine-tune his selections into the best possible
recorded representation of Josh Wink.
"Profound Sounds Vol. 1 is one of my favorite compilations -it just happens that I made it," says Wink of the new album's 1999 predecessor. "It represents me, and the way I combine house and techno, in both my DJ sets and as a producer, pretty well. I'm not one for holding people to one specific genre; I love being on the median in between."
The
sound of Josh Wink today remains one of a man unafraid to walk the border
between stylistic boundaries. Profound Sounds Vol. 2 starts off dark and atmospheric
with "Form Is Emptiness" by Swayzak, then quickly builds momentum
with the minimal and melodic Joshua Main mix of Rithma's "Tracks for
a Weirder Day." The 73-minute mix incorporates hints of old school Chicago
house ("Make A Move" by Minimal Man), electro ("E Series 2" by Frankie Bones),
and even Latin and tribal house ("Auburn" by David Alvarado). Perhaps the
finest example of Wink's refusal to limit his play list to any one genre comes
at the three-quarter mark, when he integrates Aaron Carl's paean to house
music, "The Word," over techno-flavored tracks courtesy of Rino Cerrone and
Mr. G.

Jazz, Gospel, Disco and Classic Rock genres, has been a staple of the international

an entire industry within the Art & Entertainment world, producing great
artists, DJs and producers who have advanced the genre into its current level
of global appreciation.

A native of the New England area, Pete began his journey through the dance music scene by spinning as a DJ at local Boston venues and parties. His skills advancing with every gig, Pete quickly found himself spinning throughout the Greater New England area as his reputation became known for keeping the dance floor jumping.

Every
city's club scene has its secret weapon. New York has Joe Claussell, Toronto
has Freaky Flow and Sneak, San Fran has Mark Farina and Philadelphia has Dozia
Blakey. You might not know him, but his music is familiar to DJs
and club people worldwide. Tunes like the hypnotic 'Pop Kulture', the
smoothness of 'Steal Away' or the deepness of 'Shape Shifter',
has made him a household name in the industry.
Dozia
is currently working on many projects, most importantly his first full lenth
album,due sometime in 2002, and of course still working on remixes and original
tracks. He also expanded into television again for the 6th time in his career
to work with Channel 12 in the States or known to some as the public broadcasting
service, he is now working on another documentary entitled "The Mural"
based on 3 philly artists doing wall art, due on TV in late July.
"My
sound and the music that I produce all comes from my roots and history."
Born and bred in Los Angeles, DJ/Producer David Alvarado has been carefully developing his smooth, soulful house signature that is deeper than the Atlantic Ocean since he was a teenager. Solidly entrenched in America's house underground and boasting a growing global following, he's played a pivotal role in shaping the dozen disparate cuts on his critically acclaimed Bomb Records indie, while cutting glistening tracks and remixes for labels like Ovum, Definitive, and Groove On. Embracing a musical, less is more, ethos to all of his vinyl work, David's motivation behind the decks or in the studio has been to always add a new wrinkle to dance music's vibrant fabric.
