He made disco COOL when they said, “Disco is dead” and is widely regarded as one of the FOUNDING FACES of the UK house music scene. Fifteen years on and Dave Lee aka JAKATTA, JOEY NEGRO,MISTURA, DOUG WILLIS, RAVEN MAIZE, Z FACTOR, SUNBURST BAND etc is still at the forefront of the global scene, but still isn't committing himself to just one name!

Universally acknowledged as the MASTER of all things DANCE-FLOOR and CREDIBLE, Dave, under the pseudonym of JOEY NEGRO, was one of the first producers to sample disco music and was largely responsible for giving meaning to the term ‘disco house'. Today he continues to reflect his extensive love of a massive variety of quality music by playing the kind of eclectic and mind-blowing sets which showcase the many edits and updates of old tracks he's become famous for.

The real skill of Joey Negro though, lies in his ability to make these tracks mix in seamlessly and stand alongside the very freshest cuts in his box. “I'm forever chopping up new records in the studio to make them work better in clubs – I can't help myself – I want dancers to experience the very best highs a record has to offer, even if it means I have to spend a few days in the studio re-editing something. I couldn't be a producer without being a DJ and certainly DJ'ing would be a whole lot less fun if I didn't get to tweak the music I was playing out.”

A hugely respected producer first and foremost, Negro uses his DJing talents as a sound-bed for tweaking his musical creations to perfection. His work ethic is legendary, having been involved in well over 200 productions, countless albums and hit singles. He has worked with a GALAXY OF STARS from Lionel Ritchie, Mariah Carey to Seal.

This man is always on the move. Not content with being the most commercially successful house producer in the UK (this is the man that has had more top 10 hits than other UK house producer after all), Joey Negro continues to play out all over the world simply because he enjoys it.

“Being in the studio and making music is one kind of luxury, but nothing ever beats the buzz of playing out my latest tunes to a bunch of eager, crazy-eyed dancers. It doesn't matter if it's Singapore or Southport, Sydney or Sunderland, the buzz is always pure gold and the scope for fun massive."
