From the deep, raw sounds of Chicago emerges one of the most captivating artists in the dance music scene. Over the past few years, Josh has become one of the most solid and enticing producers in the U.S., offering a consistent flow of releases that range from tech-house and house to techno. An extensive musical background and years of training in piano and cello have given Josh a strong platform to excel as a producer, remix artist and DJ. His interest in dance music was sparked circa 1989 by Bad Boy Bill and Julian Perez of the famous Hot Mix 5; his current musical inspiration comes from artists such as Massive Attack, Sven Vath, Cajmere and Mazi (aka Audio Soul Project). His interest soon turned into a passion, and his first record was released in 1997.
After working with Jasper Stone Records for nearly a year, Josh began producing tracks for various labels under Strictly Hype Recordings. He released numerous records on most of SHR`s sub-labels such as Flash Traxx, Sunrise, UC Music, Afterhours, Dialogue, Colossal and Gourmet. As his interests in music have moved from hard-house to tech/progressive house, Josh has released several tracks on labels like Hooj Choons, Nite Grooves, NRK / Honchos, Grayhound, Big Chief, Gourmet & soon his new label `frik:n:frak recordings`. Now with more than 90 releases out, Josh has worked with vocalists/artists like Barbara Tucker, Shawn Christopher, Ron Carroll, Byron Stingily, Mea Fisher, Stephanie Cooke, Kimara Lovelace, Rachael Starr, and Stryke. His tastes and interest in music have been continuously expanding and growing, we can only anticipate what enticing and prevailing new things Joshua Collins will unleash to take us, and the rest of the world by storm.
