Dojo’s man with a plan, Joe is the label’s Uberproducer. With his trusty set-up in South East London, our Mr Lewis has toiled away for the past few years trying to create new sounds all over the leftfield electronica, dance and urban music spectrum. He’s worked closely with Dojo’s other main players, most notably going one on one with Trencha B on the psuedo blues rip-up, ‘War Ain’t My Thing’.
He says of his recent efforts, “There’s a lot of bluesy stuff coming out of my equipment at the moment. ‘War’ was basically a jamming session and the marriage of blues and Hip Hop just sounded right. Trencha did that verse first time – it was so full on we thought, go for it.” The man is a classicly trained muso to boot, having spent years mastering the old geetar in his native Wales.
Strongly influenced by the urban music scene, Joe’s music often comes with a hint of the Middle East, having spent years living in Bahrain. He’s currently working on a downtempo EP, to include the much vaunted, ‘New Route’, due for a summer release. Get on with it, we say – we want that track on vinyl.
