The young talent behind Yakoozai is non other than Joel Crowe. Joel developed a love for music and a knowledge of the computer at an early age. He spent his adolescence years getting introduced to the underground dance scene in Washington D.C. It was in D.C. where he was influenced by deejays Deep Dish, Scot Henry & Paul Oakenfold. This competitive skateboarder began his musical journey back in 1997, following the likes of Dj Shadow and taking a stab at becoming a mix and scratch dj. Two years later, he began producing but decided to put the world on hold until he was at his best. Almost ten years later, and his wait is finally over. World class club-bomber, Ferry Corsten, debut Yakoozai’s latest, “Rondaview”, over the summer on his weekly edition of Corsten’s Countdown. Thanks to influences including Oakey, Corsten & Deadmnau5, have helped shape his music, creating a succession of euphoric dance floor tracks, two of these being his debut releases on EbonyRed Records, "Falling" & "Rondaview" which have full support from djs including, but not limited to, Ferry Corsten, Lemon & Einar K & NS5.Now currently residing in South Carolina, Joel has been able to bring his ‘sound’tastic artwork to life. Included in his masterpieces is my personal favorite of a deep and dirty harmonal track entitled “Falling”, which has been featured on the compilations including ‘Ministry of Electro House’ & 'World's Largest Club Collection: Vol 02'. Yakoozia is certainly one dj working his way up the future favorite ladder. ---Exerpts By Abigail writer @ ElektroAddict.com
