JOEE CONS

JOEE CONS, known today for his fully charged sets began his musical journey at a very young age in Toronto, Canada. Forming an electronic infused band, he began recording early forms of house and techno music and was inspired by the ever-growing dance scenes of New York, Chicago and Detroit.
Fascinated by the energy created by two tracks simultaneously mixed together, electronic music took over his soul, turntables quickly became his choice instrument and his focus would then be the art of DJing.
To bring satisfaction to such desires, he soon began his apprenticeship with many Toronto sound systems and nightclubs. Finally “The DJ,” JOEE was born. He would regularly play to packed venues and orchestrate the energy of the room.
On the decks and on the airwaves, by 1993 JOEE CONS was added to the Raw Energy Experience, Toronto’s underground mix show on CHRY 105.5 FM, which featured international guests such as the legendary Robert Owens. It was the mid 90’s that JOEE CONS became of age, in the DJ booths at legendary super clubs like Club Energy, FX, Club 108 and RPM, playing for thousands for the first time. Soon after, he would regularly play at underground parties and infamous raves along side Dr. No, Alx of London, Mark Oliver, and Dr. Trance.
Over the years, JOEE CONS has developed a unique style, creating a strong energy on the dance floor communicated through his music. His experiences have given him the ability to mix different genres and play both large and smaller venues.
He has been billed alongside the likes of Mark Knight, Fedde Le Grand, Josh Wink, Seb Fontiane, Juan Atkins, Kevin Saunderson, Rene Amesz, Danny Freakazoid, Joey Beltram, Zimbardo, Frankie Bones, M1, Max Graham, Dave Ralph, Eddie X, Manzone & Strong, Nathan Barato, Greg Gow, Mark Oliver, and Deko-Ze, to name a few.
His turntable adventures have brought him to numerous clubs and residencies, such as The Guvernment, This Is London, Hotel, Footwork, Dragonfly, Comfort Zone, Film, Fluid, The Docks, and at infamous events such as Destiny, Effective, Atlantis, Twisted and Caffeine. His DJ passport has brought him to the most unpredictable gatherings in Canada, USA and Mexico.
In 1998 JOEE CONS’ debut single “GET FUNKEE” became a dance floor favourite and a Top 10 Hit. DJ’s championed it worldwide and it was signed to Strictly Rhythm’s Groovilicious label. This was a first for any Canadian artist. The track was licensed to hit compilations in Canada, USA and Japan.
More notable singles followed, such as “DOWN TO THE SOUND” and production/remix credits on The Funky Headhunters “SANTA MONICA”, which soon became a Top 20 Hit. In 2003 JOEE CONS teamed up with Saint Pete (Perfecto Records) to record “MILKSHAKE”. In 2004 he teamed up with M1, formed the group NATIVE TONGUE and signed with Stay True/Brique Rouge in France. The first single “FUMA” was widely received internationally and became an underground tribal house hit.
