FIVE MINUTES WITH JOZIF
Although their names are spelt differently, this London based producer/DJ, is about as key to house music, as Joseph was to the birth of Jesus. jozif’s musical talent is of biblical proportions, and has achieved a magnitude of praise from critics and world class DJs alike. With regular sets at Fabric and Space, and now set to tear up the stage at Farr Fest 27th – 28th July, Newnham, Hertfordshire, it’s time to get worshipping…
For anyone unfamiliar with your sound, how would you describe it?
Loose
You spring from a musical family, what do your parents make of your music?
They like some of it…obviously the darker, more twisted tracks are harder for them to understand, because they’ve never been to a club or party where that music works best. The more strings based, musical pieces they seem to like…at least that’s what they tell me
What are your opinions on the music scene at the moment?
..maybe a conversation for the after party!
What gigs/festivals are you most excited about this summer?
Gigs wise, I cannot wait for ‘We Love…’ at Space in Ibiza. I’m playing SW4 festival for the first time which I’m sure will be great, as well as this thing called Farr Festival, run by some loony from Hertfordshire…!
What’s it like playing the Terrace at Space?
I BLOODY LOVE IT! It can be tricky at times, but amazing nonetheless. It doesn’t really behave like any other room I’ve played in; it truly is unique in ever sense of the word. I learnt a lot last season and I’m looking forward to getting back there, to put it all into practice
What is your career highlight to date?
This interview
Oh, stop it! If you could go to a festival with any three DJs, who would you choose?
Francis Grosso, Nicky Holloway and Ron Hardy
Have you ever done a DJ set in the woods?
Nope
Any party tricks?
DJing in the woods
