Friday the 5th of June must be programmed into your head because Josh Wink, one of the major icons in the electronic-music scene is coming to Ampere!
************
JOSH WINK (Ovum) US + support
************
We are ever so proud to host this versatile producer since he already has an oeuvre that goes back to the 80's . The roll he played in the Philadelphia’s warehouse scene was major and in the decade after he produced '90s club hits like “Don’t Laugh,” “Higher State of Consciousness” and “I’m Ready”. He also created an amazing label, Ovum
recordings, which is undisputedly one of the most essential
dance-music imprints since over the last 16 years it has released music from such varied artists as drum ’n’ bass specialist Jamie Myerson, Wild Pitch originator DJ Pierre and jack-track master DJ Sneak, to mention but a few.
He is a true creator of musical art who sees this art as the only way there is, he breaths it, he eats it and he lives it. Are you ready to join us in his way of life?

James Baldwin once wrote, "Be careful what you set your heart upon, for it will surely be yours. Embracing a diligent work ethic, a spiritual mindset & a self-taught mastery of dancefloor devastation using little more than a pair of turntables, Josh Wink has worked hard since 1990 to become one of the world's most in demand purveyors of experimental, electronic, danceable music.
In 1990, Josh met up with a kindred spirit, fellow Philly jock, King Britt whose interests also include rap and acid jazz. Pooling their interests and blending their differences, the duo waxed E-culture's "Tribal Confusion" for respected New York based indie label, Strictly Rhythm. The record was a surprising commercial success and established both DJs as artists to watch on the global dance music scene.
After forming Ovum Recordings as an independent label in October 1994 with partner King Britt, Josh recorded the cult classic "Liquid Summer". He went on to release singles for a wide variety of revered European labels ranging from Belgium's R & S to England's XL. He also began remixing for Moby and others.
1995 was an especially good year for Josh. He scored 3 consecutive European smashes - all out of his modest 16-track bedroom studio - which unquestionably took dance music to a dizzying plateau. First came "Don't Laugh" - recorded as Winx and issued via Nervous Records - where Josh took a minimal techno beat and looped an incessant sample of a whacko laughing his head off. It was a stroke of sheer genius. The single broke down international language barriers and eventually sold more than 500,000 units.
Invitations to spin at prestigious nightspots all over the world have been pouring in since, but as his career has progressed, he has stayed true to his roots, never selling out and always maintaining his integrity, always coming home to his beloved Philadelphia.
