Moses Joses
In a tangled web of intricate drum machines, limber synth sequences, sub bass pressure and delicate breaks he taps into the idea that serious music can also be uplifting.
Initially coming up as a b-boy in Frankfurt, Moses Joses immersed himself in music culture as a dancer, promoter and figurehead in the city's hip-hop scene. A pivotal NYC experience hearing house music played the right way collided with a knee injury to send him down a different path as a DJ towards the spirited, curious techno-not-techno he's best known for now. It's a path which led to a residency at Offenbach's Robert Johnson club and onto a many-sided mission cultivating events that seek out a different way of partying.
Operating from his current base in Berlin, ZSA ZSA is Moses Joses' foremost project — a record label and daytime event series which champions a self-styled healthy kind of clubbing. With these events, ZSA ZSA seeks to create unpretentious spaces that prioritise mental and physical well-being for party people on a sober one, families of music freaks, solo voyagers and social souls.
The rest of it — one more paragraph
Moses Joses is just as likely to lay down an acidic 100 BPM roll speckled with laid back breaks as he is to lock into a mind-bending techno pulse, but at every turn he reaches for sonics with something to say — colour, variation and funk course through his selections whether he's at the controls at a clear-headed day rave, lining up a release on ZSA ZSA or tracking deeper into the night at his Melting Minds parties. Coming from a slanted angle to arrive at his particular kind of idealised dancefloor, Moses' intentions are guided not by a specific genre but more of a feeling — a freakiness embedded in misfit machine music scattered across the decades with the power to induce altered states in the most natural of ways.
