  their own biography

  the whole biography

  Joey found house music while attending college in Boston. Having grown up with drum circles on the beach of Cape Cod, he was drawn to the percussive rhythms and quickly began taking weekend trips to New York attending Vinyl/Arch, Limelight, Roxy, Twilo. After learning more about the relevance, culture, and history, he was inspired by a few friends who were DJs and returned to Boston with a couple turntables, a mixer and a bunch of vinyl. Joey worked as a sound engineer mixing down tracks with live bands and got gigs DJing at house parties and some local Boston nightclubs while finishing school. Before graduating, he was offered a position for a tech giant on the west coast, where he moved and lived for a decade. He never strayed too far from the music, getting booked for several red carpet and corporate events. It was while DJing an event celebrating the life of a friend back east, where Joey reconnected with close friends and made the decision it was time to come home. He moved back to NYC a year later and immersed himself in music again. Since being back, he’s played at several places in the city including the legendary Cielo NYC, The Phoenix, KeyBar and Nowhere Bar, and Le Bain at the Standard Hotel in Manhattan, a few after-hours spots in Brooklyn as well as Mainframe, a intimate monthly party that that has featured some of the hottest names in house music and techno for over 10 years. Most recently he has been playing monthly where he holds a residency at an Afterhours club called HOHN in Brooklyn. He also played at Sweet liberty in Miami Beach during Miami Music Week in 2024. He is also A resident and plays every year at the legendary Secrer Oasis party Which includes some of the hottest names in music and stretches all day into the night with the City skyline as your backdrop. It is held every June on Randall’s Island in New York City and in 2023, Joey played the last 3 hours closing out the party with his unique blend of beats and melodic sound.

  their own biography

  the whole biography

  Manny Ward has always been around music, as most musicians are.  As luck would have it, he grew up with a Mom who’d send him out to buy records for her many house parties because he had a knack in finding great music that was not always charted.  His stepdad produced R&B and Soul for artist like Jocelyn Brown, and Evelyn Champagne’ King. His step dad brought him out to his first club experience at the Funhouse in NYC.  Then there was the fateful meeting with the Godfather of House; Frankie Knuckles in the early 90s who took Manny under his wing and launched his DJ career in NYC. Through these journeys of following music, from DJ-ing when he was in the military at base parties, to playing along side Frankie Knuckles at New York’s famous Roxy, Sound Factory Bar, Tunnel, and regular gigs at Stereo in Montreal, to eventually producing his own remixes and tracks. Some of them now cult classics. This Staten Island boy saw a dream realized.  Then this prolific talent left the industry for a few years only to be returned at the request of his friends/teachers Angel Moraes, Danny Tenaglia, and David Morales. This made him realize this was his calling.  And thank goodness he did return.   This second phase of his career has seen many more milestones as he ramped up his production skills with notable remix opportunities.  He has been able to collaborate with many talented producers and musicians, including Celeda, Lula, and DJ Gomi, with whom he reintroduced legendary Sandy B with new original music written by all three. “Resilience” was the result and has graced many DJ charts and on Hector Romero’s 2019 Weaving Genres compilation. In the Fall of 2017, he was asked by the legendary Nona Hendryx to remix a single off of her new album with Soul Clap.  He enlisted long-time friend, Curtis Atchison (Midnight Society) to help out, with whom he had recently collaborated on a floor banger “Big Mouth” on Twisted Records.    That Fall, Retrotech was born. This partnership has proven fruitful as a DJ duo as well. They were given several remix opportunities in 2018. Black Stereo Faith (Ultra Naté & Quentin Harris), Lenny Kravitz, Nenah Cherry, Stevie Nicks, and Kiwi Dreams and much more to come. Incidentally, Kravitz’ “Low” became his first #1 Dance on Billboard.  Manny has continued doing solo work putting out a single with remixes on DJ Pierre’s Afro Acid Records in 2019, which was getting recognition by DJ’s such as Danny Tenaglia before it even came out! In between, he’s also been busy DJ-ing, criss-crossing the country, and a regular participant at ADE in Amsterdam, and N Y’s legendary party Birdcage.  With everything going on, be sure to keep a watch on Manny’s next move because it will be nothing but delightful and surprising.

The name comes from a party the duo created for which they and their guest DJ’s could play music that reflected their love of dance music, old and new. Previous to this collaboration, each had and still maintain an active DJ-ing schedule, as well as an impressive discography as producers. Friends for well over 20 years, they decided to work on a track together back in 2015 entitled “Big Mouth” released on Twisted Records to very good success. After that, they knew their collaborative efforts just meshed well and that the end-product was a sound that was uniquely theirs. Their talent was not lost when remix opportunities included Nona Hendryx, Black Stereo Faith, Lenny Kravitz, Neneh Cherry, Kiwi Dreams, Ultra Nate, Stevie Nicks to name a few were presented to them. In October 2018, Lenny Kravitz hit the top of the Dance charts for the first time with “Low”, for which they contributed a house remix in the release. This past NYC World Pride their remix of the newly visited dance music anthem classic “Free” by Ultra Nate was debuted in NYC to rave reviews.
