About Me


Josh Montalvo started his career as a DJ in the late 1980's working as a Soundman for the company Professional Sound System located in Puerto Rico. In 1990, when the company evolved to Power Station DJ's, the biggest company of DJ's in Puerto Rico, he became a Light Man & Stage Designer. In 1991, he moved from sound, lighting & stage design to DJ. He played in many clubs & bars all over the place gaining recognition as the youngest, progressive DJ in a country where most DJ’s were old skool.
In May 1999, Josh became the Resident DJ of JD's Pub, and began to host his own night as a Resident DJ. This is how "TRANSESSIONS" was born: a session of Pure Underground Electronic music sounds. TRANSESSIONS was the biggest night of Electronic Dance music in the North-Western coast of Puerto Rico...and the gig where many new acts & DJ’s showcased to a full house every Thursday night. Josh hosted these nights for 2 years in a row, from 1999 to 2001. By that time, Josh was involved in many projects as a DJ & Producer with the alternative- electronic- rock band U.R.A.L.S.. He collaborated on their first EP "Electrik" from Atomic Spin Records. His collaboration on the track "Communication" was a fusion between alternative electronic sounds in a 4x4. “Blast Rockin' Beats” came out of this one along with his partner & producer Ramey Bass, and U.R.A.L.S.’ guitarist Raymond Fernandez. Josh also performed with them on their live appearances all over.
In 2003, Josh started a new project known as “Skintag Music”, a production- wise chapter in his career, focusing on Production, Mixing & Remixing. Skintag Music is that sound, that ground-breaking, forward-thinking sound, which becomes part of your body & soul. It’s music to dance to while thinking that it's deep and dark but with a feeling.
2005 kicked off with a more minimal sound. His "Smoking Electron" track was selected to be featured on the music compilation "Locals Only" by the international beer brand Heineken. This compilation included music from the Best Puerto Rican DJ's & Producers. Since then, Josh has been busy in the studio, working on remixes & his own productions as well as focusing on new ideas to create new sounds in Electronic Dance Music but, it’s still House Music.
