Josh Wink

Esteemed producer, DJ, and label owner Josh Wink makes dance music in a wide variety of styles, from manic acid breaks to hypnotic minimal house. The Philadelphia native emerged with a bounty of tribal house and acid records during the early '90s, including multiple collaborations with King Britt. He scored numerous international club hits and even made the top ten of the U.K. pop charts with his 1995 classic "Higher State of Consciousness." His 1998 major-label debut full-length Herehear included tracks that went in a more rock-influenced big beat direction. A trio of acclaimed Profound Sounds mix CDs followed, as well as the more stripped-down yet inventive techno and house full-lengths 20 to 20 (2003) and When a Banana Was Just a Banana (2009). His subsequent work has been heavily influenced by minimal and Detroit techno, while 2023's The Half Full EP explores summery deep house.
