Josh The Funky 1

Funktion Recordings / IHR / Mix Connection / thefunky1.com / Fused - Chicago

Josh "The Funky 1" hails from Chicago, the home of House Music. A DJ for over 12 years, Josh blends a unique style of funky house, tech-house, and breaks, while incorporating ill-scratching and turntable tricks. Josh's passion for the art of DJ'ing first came about when he discovered hip-hop while still in grade school. A fan of early pioneering hip-hop groups like Public Enemy, EPMD, and Eric B and Rakim, he was enthralled by the art of scratching. One day a friend lent Josh a videotape of a DJ battle, which unknowingly turned out to be a D.M.C. battle, the most renowned DJ battle in the world. Mesmerized by what he saw could be done with 2 turntables and a mixer, Josh practiced and honed his skills relentlessly. His passion and persistence proved to be worthwhile, as he has since displayed his skills in some of the most prestigious DJ battles in the world. 1997 saw Josh became a D.M.C Midwest Finalist.


In 1999 Josh competed in the Winter Music Conference scratching competition where he was a runner up to 3-time world champion DJ Craze. In the year 2000, Josh took 1st place in the beat-mixing competition at the Winter Music Conference DJ spin-off.

Aside from competing, Josh's passion for music has led him to compile several mix compilations including his own "House Funktion" series, which showcases his diverse music selection and wicked turntable skills. Josh has also helped to co-produce legendary D.J., Bad Boy Bill's , "Bangin the Box Vol. 4" and "Banging in London" mix compilations.

As if his DJ'ing accomplishments weren't enough, Josh has also had his hand in the studio producing tracks for the infamous Chicago labels I.H.R, Kid Dynamite, and Strictly Hype Recordings. His tracks have been featured on mix compilations and DJ play-lists throughout the world, further establishing his reputation as a DJ/Producer. Josh has also lent a hand in remixing for Chicago's number one house diva, Dajae. Her first single on Kid Dynamite records entitled "Time" is an uplifting vocal anthem that has received Billboard attention and has since been licensed to Credence records in U.K. Most Recently Josh has re-mixed Dajae's newest single "Everyday", also on Kid Dynamite records and already licensed to Defected Records U.K.

Not one to be content with only producing records for other labels. In 2001 "The Funky 1" launched his own record label, Funktion Recordings. The first release "Everybody Everywhere" by BSJ and Fun-K has found its way into the record boxes of DJ's worldwide.

2003 shows no signs of slowing down as producers such as Santos Scanty, and Jelo continue to churn out dancefloor stormers for his label. When not in the studio or running the label, Josh is constantly touring the world bringing his sound and skills together for the masses. Be on the look out for Josh "The Funky 1" in your area soon!

:bravo:

there is a fine line between main room funky house that is *good* and Hard house/progressive house that is *bad* IMHO. Ive definately gotten more away from the deep house lately.

I enjoy BBB and Josh the funky 1 90% of the time....

RHV- ehh 50/50

Turntablism with all kinds of music is good IMO.

Good to hear my friend...good to hear....

[DJPicklejuice]

sounds good

[Albert's Mom]

I'll go see the Bassbin Twins so that I can harrass "El Ian." babs

[deejayclutch]

WORD! I just heard and how see that Josh is coming to Cubik?!?!?!

GREAT!

I have to admit that I am not the biggest fan of his track selection, but I could care less about the tracks he spinns, I am there respecting not what he plays, but HOW he is playing it.

I have been fortunate enough to see him both of the only 2 times that he has come to DC, Monumental and @ the DC Tunnel. I will be damned if I miss him at Nation for Cubik.

Bring him on!

[markg]

He's excited, and has promised me to bring a phat show. Josh rocks it. Thats my type of house, and its in the mainroom! Cami, you know what Im talkin about.

:banana:
