Founder of Ovum Records and a thing of Philly pride, the formerly dreadlocked Josh Wink is one of few fixtures of the '90s rave scene who've succeeded in not being pinned to any one genre. From his acid trance hit "Higher State Of Consciousness" to his acclaimed techno series, Profound Sounds, Wink is a jack-of-all-trades (disc) jock and a producer whose name always comes up around in-the-know circles.
Los Angeles, CA – Philadelphia Electronic Music Pioneer Josh Wink is set to release his first ever double mixed CD, Profound Sounds Vol 3, via his newly inked deal with Thrive Records. The new double CD features the first ever release of Wink’s seminal remix of Radiohead’s "Everything in its Right Place" and a national US tour will kick off on April 27th in Seattle.
Josh Wink has always run ahead of the pack, as a DJ, label owner, producer, remixer, and artist. With a career that boasts numerous magazine covers, chart topping singles, sold out DJ gigs and collaborations with such A-list artists as Radiohead and Trent Reznor, Philly-bred Josh Wink has grown into one of the world’s most revered and respected electronic music artists. With the forthcoming release of Profound Sounds Vol. 3 via his newly inked deal with Thrive Records(Paul Oakenfold, Deep Dish, Roni Size) Wink continues to forge ahead…
Fans of the DJ mix format will no doubt rejoice in the fact that Profound Sounds Vol. 3 features the first ever double CD mix from Wink, providing the best representation of a Josh Wink club set to date. The sometimes dark and formidable acid sound that that Josh has championed in the clubs throughout his career is well represented on disc two of the mix, while deeper, more intelligent sounds warm up the album’s first disc. The album boasts a handful of choice exclusives, including a new remix of Wink’s seminal '95 single "Higher States of Consciousness", the new Wink single "Swirl," and the first-ever sanctioned release of Wink's seminal remix of Radiohead's "Everything in its Right Place." The fact that this exclusive mix of Radiohead is only commercially available on Profound Sounds Vol. 3 stands as a testament to Josh’s influence both within and outside the world of electronic music.
