This is an very important interview. JW has always "gotten it" no matter how big he's become in the DJ scene. His narratives provide the context as why we got into it back in the day, and what also calls us to the mix every minute. It's not about the glamour, nor the materialism, but rather the tangible experience, the creative discovery and release, and the importance to inform, then watching it unfold in front of an intimate group or upon the largest crowd that gathers for your show. Those who know....understand its the drive to bring the most innovative artists and boundary-pushing music, who seldom get the airplay, into the light for the masses to enjoy, allowing the masses to release from the daily grind. Thanks Wink - continued respect! #611
A true inspiration in and for the craft. "To Entertain and educate". Many wise words and gems dropped on us here. Big thanks to Josh for sharing his time and thoughts and to TEB for putting this together. Much love team
He's speaking to my soul here 0:39 Being a DJ should primarily be a passion, you know feel it to your core kind of passion for music and experimentation 4:26, 5:06 ( it's the only way to be, it's one of the most beautiful feelings in the world ). I fucking love this!
In 1996, cousins from Germany visited us in Canada and one brought along a cassette filled with music. 'Don't Laugh' was an instant favourite that was stuck in my head for YEARS until i found it again here on youtube. I was only 9, it was probably the first techno song i ever heard.
The first electronic artist ever I started to grow up on. Humble, modest, not in need of superstar allures, just for the passion of great and unique music. Living legend. 🙏
saw Josh Wink perform a couple years back in Portland, OR. An excellent DJ, had the entire crowd under his trance the entire set. Very rare these days!!
I remember looking through records like you were doing in this video!! Listening to records like you were doing is priceless and I think this generation has lost...I found your stuff back in the early "90's like this and it was Amazing!! Thank You!! :)
just saw him down in Miami at Treehouse. was my firs time seeing him and definitely one of my favorite techno sets i've witnessed. was fortunate enough to meet him afterwards. super cool dude
Saw him some 20 years ago at Fever in Baltimore MD! He had long dreadlocks and was dropping bombs like "I Am Ready" and "Are You There" Those were the days! Listen to those tracks and then try to tell me the man wasn't ahead of his time!
such cool: his tracks and his attitude ....don't know how many records I have of Josh but quite a bunch ....thx for the good music over years right now
Seeing people like Josh Wink still around, Kraftwerk, even Yello in their 70s now. So amazing. And it just goes to show that they truly enjoyed and still enjoy that :)
@@obbekjaer I was in the late 90s and early 2000s club hopping with my buddies but this played every weekend at the Lizard Lounge in Dallas TX. This mixed with Magic Orgazm and you had 15 minutes or so of non-stop people dancing even in the bathrooms.
nice words yes.. agreeing : ) me coming from djing in uruguay in begining 90s have same idea as mr. winx... also was playing some of his music like the amazing hipnotizing.. respect.
So true !!! These days in Ibiza build up 30 sec and drop build up and drop and on and on. There is no story behind the DJ sets anymore. It’s all about the money this specially applies to Ibiza’s last few seasons.
Oliver Lieb - Gone www.beatport.com/track/gone-original-mix/10921204 Another legend still kicking it. Perhaps, EB will do an interview with Oliver Lieb in the future.

@@ElectronicBeatsTV do you have his contact details? :) Tbh, I've send a msg via IG what his opinion is about the track, but no response yet on the matter.
4:56.. "More importance nowadays is put on the build ups and snare rolls " says the man responsible for the biggest snare roll/build up of all time !! (higher state) LOL
Ha, I was thinking what a relevant point he was making until you mentioned that. Awesome track however it pretty much kick started the suspense and release aspect of dance music. Don't forget his track 'Size 9 - I Am Ready' as well. I think that was about 50% snare roll!
He refers mostly to the EDM movement that is based mostly on "the drop" and "build up" , songs that are 4-5 minutes long that lacks musical tension, momentum...
it didn't have the same peripherals of success attached to it as it does today - at least in terms of the "big names". There's still a thriving underground scene, but a couple hours on /r/edmproduction shows you how far the goals have shifted. The music is more instrumental; not in terms of using instruments but in terms of seeking a defined goal, as opposed to people playing music for music's sake - an intrinsic Good.
it was cool until the early 90's NOT the late 90's (20 years ago). When all the commercial club shit happened-sponsored by red bull, smirnoff etc etc - bullshit. The raves was where it was at and it was the crowd that was cool, not the dj's.
lol you really have no idea who this guy is. Plus everything he's saying is true, can't blame him for feeling like the industry is over-saturated with narcissistic wannabes?
I Think you were born of what you are today.. you are the most natural dj I ‘ve ever enjoyed.. You are more than everyone! The TOP!

This interview could have been so much longer and still be truth. I love his point of view, that's what music is about.
Loved catching DJ T-1000 in this! Alan Oldham is a total legend!

Yeaaah but sex behind the booth sounds pretty damn rad. Never even thought of that!

Yes be he helped invent it.

Paul Brendan. No he didnt. Was about way before that track.
Nor did he "kick start the suspense and release aspect".

So 20 years ago being a dj or musician wasn’t cool? Ok
not as "cool" as today. Or let's say different.

Yawn. Just sounds soooo cliche. Not a fan. He's a poser compared to say the Detroit'ers.

Booo!
