Joe Claussell....I love you.
This guy cant fail, always in great form, his approach is alwys the same, but always new...From deep driving house, to organic tribal workouts...The occasional experimental tune doesnt dissapoint either. His djing skills are nothing to shy away from, he can create an almost heaven like atmosphere and keep ya going till the sun comes up, I ve seen people crying, seriously.
If you like deep, dark afrolatin dance floor rhythms...Then look into this dude. He wont dissipoint.
