Jo-S

Jo-s has been involved in the Drum and Bass industry since 1995. Since his transition to Los Angeles by way of New York in 2001, his impact has been immeasurable and manifest in a multitude of ways both locally and internationally. His skills as a professional entertainer range from live DJ sets, singing and original production.
As a DJ, Jo-s has performed in almost every major city throughout the United States as well as Canada, Mexico and the UK. He is regarded for his hi-energy stage presence and signature mixing style; a combination of smooth blending and swift cutting while complimenting the performance with original live vocals on the fly. Jo-s is known to drop any style of drum and bass from melodic liquid vibes to neuro-funk, old-school classics, dance floor bangers and original dubplates. Traditionally dedicated to crowd interaction, Jo-s always brings a winning performance to the decks at any event no matter what the capacity.
As a Producer, his music started to appear on labels such as Rawkuts / Rawkus, After Shock Radio Recordings, F-111 / Higher Education (Warner Bros), Taciturn, Caffeine and GFS. One of his first and most well respected releases in 2000 entitled "Turbo" earned him a remix by The Usual Suspects (Renegade Hardware / UK) on the F-111 / Higher Education (Warner Bros) imprint. His earlier productions have also played an integral part in the development of the now defunct New York based label Rawkuts Records, a division of the hip-hop label Rawkus. In 2002, New York based label Taciturn Records released the debut artist album from Jo-s entitled "Firing Pin". Comprised of 13 original tracks in a continuously mixed format, "Firing Pin" is a definitive look into the production history of Jo-s. As a full service artist, the packaging design was produced by Jo-s as well. The release was distributed nationally via RED, Sony's independent distributor, and was subsequently released digitally via SONY/BMG's digital distribution network that includes iTunes, Yahoomusic and other reputable download sites. "Firing Pin" was featured on listening station kiosks in stores such as Tower and Virgin. Currently Jo-s is releasing his original drum and bass through Peer Pressure Recordings starting with his first single entitled "Ceilings b/w Manipulation". He has also started to embrace the new sounds of dubstep and electro house with forthcoming releases on Caffeine Records.
Jo-s has also collaborated with other artists such as Audio Angel; a well-respected vocalist hailing from San Francisco. Their 12" single entitled "Forever" garnered them the attention of DJ Hype with remix work done by Nightwalker and Company Truck. Shortly thereafter, Jo-s and Audio Angel began performing together eventually expanding their live act by adding a sax player named Devoe. This trio has broken ground with their epic studio mixes and live performances bringing an element to Drum and Bass that is something only to be witnessed.
Jo-s began to document his skills as a vocalist in 2009 with the highly acclaimed vocal collaboration with Lenzman entitled "Emeralds". DJ Friction signed "Emeralds" to his respected label Shogun which became a #1 seller on Beatport and continues to appear on track listings throughout the international club circuit. Lenzman and Jo-s have since then released "Coincidence" on the mighty Metalheadz, "Fade Away" on Soul:r and "Stellar" on Subtitles. Jo-s has recorded vocals for other respectable artists as well such as Bcee and Sinistarr.
