Joee Cons

JOEE CONS, known today for his fully charged sets, began his musical journey in Toronto, Canada.  Forming an electronic group in his early teens, he began recording early forms of house and techno inspired by the ever-growing dance scenes of New York, Chicago, Detroit and London.

Fascinated by the energy created by two tracks simultaneously mixed together, electronic dance music took over his soul, turntables quickly became his choice instrument and his focus would then be the art of DJing.  To bring satisfaction to such desires, he soon began his apprenticeship with many Toronto Sound Systems and Nightclubs.  Finally “The DJ,” JOEE was born.  He would regularly play to packed venues and orchestrate the energy of the room.
 
On the decks and on the airwaves, JOEE CONS was added to the Raw Energy Experience, Toronto’s underground mix show on CHRY 105.5 FM, which featured international guests such as the legendary Robert Owens.  It was the mid nineties and JOEE CONS became of age, in the DJ booths at legendary super clubs like Club Energy, FX, Club 108 and RPM, playing for thousands for the first time.  Soon after, he would regularly play at underground parties and infamous raves along side Dr. No, Alx of London, Mark Oliver, and Dr. Trance.
