Born of Lebanese and Ukrainian heritage and based in Montréal, Joseph Nakouzi is renowned for his signature minimal melodic progressive techno: energetic rhythms seamlessly blended with both instrumental and vocal elements. He continues to influence the local and international scenes alike.
His emotive melodies and driving beats have made a significant impact across prestigious labels such as Asymmetric Recordings/Dip, LIKE THAT UNDERGROUND, Click Records, Trippy Code, Elixir Recordings, and Uxoa Dutxa Elite. His track "Just A Dream" reached No. 1 on Beatport's Progressive House releases chart, and his creative prowess consistently earns him recognition on Beatport. Joseph's music connects on both emotional and energetic levels, earning him a loyal following in the underground scene.
Versatile by design, he is equally at home in a minimal techno set or a rave-ready progressive room, shaping his sound to the setting rather than forcing a single formula on every floor. He is known for his extended sets, taking a crowd on a full journey rather than a quick moment on the floor.
He has played Salon Daomé, Le Skills Afterhours, NoiseFloor, Exotek Nights and Red Room in Montréal, alongside Orphan Burn in Toronto, and has featured on OHRSPIEL's iM Takt podcast in Germany.
And we might only have seen the beginning.
