Joey Youngman has emerged as one of underground house music’s most
prolific producers. The DJ, producer and A&R of Fetish Recordings
and Jackin Tracks has influenced the future sound of house music
through hundreds of releases. At just 24-years-old, Youngman’s
classically trained musicianship and natural gift for crafting a funky,
disco-infused sound have already placed him in the top tier of global
house talent.
Youngman’s passion for his craft constantly fuels his creative energy. “The first time I heard electronic music, I felt like I was looking at the world from the outside,” says Youngman, who attended his first rave in his hometown of San Luis Obispo, Calif., when he was 13. Unlike other club kids who embraced the music by way of the rave scene, Youngman says the music found him before the scene caught hold. The drug-free experience enlightened him. “From the moment I heard that first mix tape and saw that first show—it was my mission in life to create house music,” he says.
Youngman sent out his first demo when he was 13; by the time he turned 16, ’90s-heavy house labels such as Nervous, Distant, and Moonshine had his music in hand. Youngman began backing his demos with DJ gigs at central California clubs where he showcased catalogues of original tracks. 2003 saw his production style evolve from a filtered, French-disco sound into a slower brand of deeper, funky house. His first track from the new era, “Luv Bump,” emulated the classic sound of Derrick Carter and earned him his first release on San Francisco’s Good Family imprint.
