Josh Da Funky 1 Chicago [ Funktion Recordings (www.funktionrecordings.com)]
Josh "The Funky 1" hails from Chicago, the home of House Music. A D.J. for over 12 years, Josh blends a unique style of Funky house & Electro-house, , while incorporating ill-scratching and turntable tricks. Josh’s passion for the art of D.J.ing first came about when he discovered hip-hop while still in grade school. A fan of early pioneering hip-hop groups like Public Enemy, E.P.M.D., Eric B. and Rakim he was enthralled by the art of scratching. One day a friend lent Josh a videotape of a D.J. battle, which unknowingly turned out to be a D.M.C. battle, the most renowned D.J. battle in the world. Mesmerized by what he saw could be done with 2 turntables and a mixer, Josh practiced and honed his skills relentlessly. His passion and persistence proved to be worthwhile, as he has since displayed his skills in some of the most prestigious D.J. battles in the world. 1997 saw Josh become a D.M.C. Midwest Finalist. In 1999 he competed in the Winter Music Conference scratching competition where he was a runner up to 3-time world champion D.J. Craze. In 2000 Josh took 1st place in the beat-mixing competition at the Winter Music Conference D.J. spin-off. Aside from competing, Josh’s passion for music has led him to compile several mix compilations including his own "House Funktion" series, which showcases his diverse music selection and wicked turntable skills. Josh has also helped to co-produce legendary D.J., BadBoyBill’s, "Bangin the Box Vol. 4" and "Banging in London" mix compilations. As if his D.J.ing accomplishments weren’t enough, Josh has also had his hand in the studio producing tracks for the infamous Chicago labels I.H.R., Kid Dynamite, and Funktion Recordings. His tracks have been featured on mix compilations and D.J. play lists throughout the world, further establishing his reputation as a D.J./Producer. Josh has also lent a hand in remixing Chicago’s number one house diva, Dajae. Her first single on Kid Dynamite records entitled "Time", is an uplifting vocal anthem that received Billboard attention and was licensed to Credence records in U.K. He has also remixed Dajae’s single "Everyday," also on Kid Dynamite records and licensed to Defected Records U.K. More recently, Josh lent a hand in remixing Jessie Saunders seminal classic “On & On”, consider the first House record ever released and marking the 20th anniversary since its inception. However, “The Funky 1” is not one to be content with only producing and remixing records for other labels. In 2001 Josh launched his own new record label, Funktion Recordings, the first release “Everybody Everywhere” by B.S.J. and Fun-K found its way into the record boxes of D.J.’s worldwide. Since then there has been no signs of slowing down as producers such as Santos, Scanty, and Marky Starr continue to churn out dance floor stormers for his label. When not in the studio or running his label, Josh is constantly touring the world bringing his sound and skills together for the masses
