Josh Demello is heralded as one of the best up and coming and exciting new DJs to be involved in the Uk’s house scene.
Josh's DJing style remains cutting edge with no set being like another. You can be assured he’ll play sublime sounds of the utmost quality energetic house music, This is combined with his inimitable energy and Character behind the decks. His musical style is coolly versatile, and can best be described as Cutting Edge Tech-Trance-Electro Madness with Dirty sexy Grooves.
Josh has been on the circuit for a fair few years now, under various guises, all stretching a number of genres.
It all started for Josh back in 1998 at the very innocent age of 9 years old. At the time his father was involved with illegal raves and warehouse parties. He instantly fell in love with the whole idea of becoming a working DJ, so he acquired some cheap decks and started his record collection. Whilst the other kids were saving up for their favorite comics, Josh was already saving hard for the latest tunes whether it was Drum n Bass, Hard House, Techno or Trance he was in love with dance music.
After a beginners and intermediate DJ Course at the Leeds College of Music, he then started to travel around the British mainland playing nearly every weekend. These early gigs opened his eyes at a random selection of secret raves, pirate radio stations and illegal warehouse parties.
Josh also played for some of the best established promoters and Events at a very young age which gave him an early boost in his career which meant he also new what he wanted to do with his life.
After then completing a one year course at the Leeds College, studying Music Technology he learnt how to produce using Cubase, Acid and Reason. He has recently been concentrating on his own productions and when he gets back in the U.K Josh will be releasing some of his first tracks.
Around 2005 to 2006 he worked his way up in the Leeds house Scene earning residency's all over the city and guest slots breaching out across England, Also he has worked with the best promoters helping to organise some of the biggest events in Leeds.
2007 was also a big year for Josh as his natural talent was recognised by Ministry Of Sound and he got the opportunity to become a resident DJ for Ministry Of Sound and the only Hed Kandi Venue in the world(Egypt)
Josh Demello has played at some of the best clubs in the world. Those obviously include his current residencies at Ministry Of Sound Egypt (making him the youngest Ministry Of Sound resident DJ), coupling up with regular slots at the world’s first Hed Kandi Beach Bar, constantly spinning alongside top DJs from around the globe at both venues.
