Stop me if you've heard this one before...
...London DJ and producer jozif, epitomises that oft misused term, 'one to watch'.
His distinctive and original productions are already making a lasting impression on industry-heroes such as Andrew Weatherall, Craig Richards and Howie B, and in scene that rarely stays the same for long, his natural passion and devotion to music has seen him producing DJing and producing for 13 years.
Sprouting from bonafide rock star roots, jozif has been immersed in music and inspiration his whole life. Access to a record collection beyond measure meant an endless supply of new sounds and sensations, while a healthy appetite for hedonism fired his imagination and fuelled his ambition.
Like many aspiring DJ's, early gigs taught jozif the humble art of playing to the smallest clubs, but also the attitude that an atmosphere is only what you make it.
The belief that a good DJ plays to the best of their ability wherever they find themselves helped shape this consistent and captivating musician, who now rocks some of the most popular dance floors. His intense blend of juddering tech house and rich minimal grooves, have earned jozif gigs at benchmark clubs such fabric, We Love....Space Ibiza, The Warehouse Project and The End (RIP).
His productions such as 'Room 1' and 'Me Me Me' are murky and hypnotic, and demonstrate a natural aptitude for innovative and captivating dance music.
Eschewing the "in" sound, jozif's output has always followed its own path - quirky, charismatic and thoroughly electronic, his are the stand-out tracks that permeate a twisted 6am dancefloor, or drive a Balearic afterhours party through the roof.
