History

Josef is a multifaceted electronic music artist with a diverse background in the arts. He first began his journey by hosting events in his Toronto studio space that showcased emerging fine artists from local art universities and colleges. He then started throwing illegal after-hours raves in neighboring punk hangouts, and in various other unusual and inspiring spaces.

Through these events and social connections, Josef discovered his passion for music production and was instantly hooked. In pursuit of furthering his production skills, Josef moved to Montreal to explore the art and music scene, seeking inspiration from French culture and nightlife. It wasn’t long after that he felt moving to techno’s mecca, Berlin, was the next logical step in his journey.
