- Josh Wink is so old school that he confesses to cooking ("Is cooking not cool?") and subscribing to National Geographic. So how come he's the man of the moment? Wink talks to RA.
There's no school like the old school and in techno circles, old school means Josh Wink. In fact, Josh Wink is so old school that he confesses to cooking ("Is cooking not cool?") and subscribing to National Geographic.
Beneath Wink's fuzzy perm lurks a seasoned stalwart of the techno scene who made his first record in 1989. And it’s been eleven years now since Wink first blew up international dancefloors with the hi-NRG acid classic 'Higher State of Consciousness', 'I’m Ready' and the pure simplicity (some call it a stroke of genius) of 'Don't Laugh'. Wink has seen it all. He was a front row witness to the birth of DJ and dance culture, he rode out the rave years, he sold his label to Sony at the height of the boom years and then he bought it back. He’s pretty much just like granddad (but with more hair).
So how come he's the man of the moment? Josh Wink talks to RA.
