After forming Ovum Recordings as an independent label in October 1994 with former partner King Britt, Josh recorded the cult classic "Liquid Summer."
He went on to release singles for a wide variety of revered European labels ranging from Belgium's R & S Records to England's XL Recordings. In 1995, Wink became one of the first DJ-producers to translate his hard work into mainstream success when he unleashed a string of classics including "Don't Laugh," "I'm Ready," and "Higher State of Consciousness," that topped charts worldwide. More recently he has had massive club hits such as "How's Your Evening So Far," and "Superfreak," but he has also gained a lot of attention through his remixes for FC Kahuna, Paul Oakenfold, Ladytron, Clint Mansell, Sting and Depeche Mode, among others.

September 19, 2021HE is the first electronic one I have ever heard in my kindergarden time; my father brougth home a poor quality, copied cassette tape which he got from one of his collegues: that was the "United DJs Of America Vol. 3 Mix". I instantly fell in love with the acid lines, the funkiness of analog house and the rawness of dark, minimal techno. It was the paradigm shift after everything I heard before and the time I decided that I want to be a producer when I grow up.
Since then, his "Profound Sounds" mix series (especially Volume 1 and Volume 3's first CD - which I was constantly listening to when I was in hospital with my Gilbert-syndrome, it gave me so much power), his "20 To 20" album (with enormous hits like "Fill Me With Acid", "516 Acid", "The Bass"); his goosebump interpretations for Depeche Mode's "Freelove", Radiohead's "Everything In It's Right Place", Tom Magan's "Chutney"; the ultimate anthem "How's Your Evening So Far?" born from Lil Louis' "French Kiss", and his psychedelic combo "It's The Machines" with Carl Cox; did heavy stamps on my taste as a listener and a producer too.
His mental, sudden tweaks, spiritual atmos, the sense for catchy grooves and his humbleness and modesty as a human are all beyond many ones out in the scene for me. All I can feel about him is gratitude for making me a stalwart underground kid and a passionate of house and techno music.
Hats off!
