About Joey

I believe you can never really know a person until you smell them. Until that day, you’ll just have to know that I like it when my ears vibrate in fun ways, and I like it when it’s time to eat. I don't eat small round things, and I don't eat big hairy things. I don’t like fancy pants and I don’t like ugly children. I only run when I need the toilet. If I could live anywhere, I’d live in a sock. Stay away from me if you’re itchy.

Zedd’s “Slam the Door” Out Now on OWSLA

Zedd’s “Slam the Door” Out Now on OWSLA 0

Zedd’s “Slam the Door” is like a fun-filled romp through an industrial park. Sure, some parts are sharp and painful, but that’s part of the experience. Once it gets going though, the mix of electro house rhythms with dubstep sensibilities will have you robot dancing like you just came off the factory line.

Fucking iPhones (too soon?). When you buy one you figure, oh, I’m not gonna fork out another paycheck for double the gigs. A couple of apps, pics and concert vids later, and you’re stuck scrambling for room every time you want to add a song. So I’ve taken to streaming podcasts and leaving my iPhone [...]

Why I Hate Clubs

Why I Hate Clubs 4

A conundrum – I like loud music, meeting new people, getting down, partying, drinking, doing stupid shit, all that good stuff. And yet I hate clubs. A paradox, to be sure, but a contradiction? No, friends – it is merely a sign of enlightenment. Nightclubs, or clubs as the kids call them, are not only [...]

My Balearic Odyssey: A Love Letter to Ibiza

My Balearic Odyssey: A Love Letter to Ibiza 2

It’s closing week in Ibiza (which, fellow North Americans, I’m sorry to say is really pronounced eye-bee-tha), so I figure I’d share my experiences following four unforgettable, unbeatable, un-fucking-believable days on Magic Island. Obviously, I was into EDM before I went, but for me, Ibiza turned my dirty little hook-up into a committed long-term relationship. [...]
