Back in the 90s, classic records were being released seemingly every week. So for one of your tracks to make it into the annual top ten really meant something. But what if you had three in a single year?


That was 1995 for this week's guest, and the short period in which he released Don't Laugh, I'm Ready, and Higher States Of Consciousness was always going to be a defining one in the history of the music itself, let alone the story of the actual producer.


It's possibly just as much of an achievement that Josh subsequently managed to escape the legacy of those monster records and build a lasting career on the global circuit, and it's that longevity that makes this such a great conversation.


We talk about the musical influence of his home town of Philadelphia, the early US rave scene, the pivotal role of college radio, the challenges and opportunities of today's industry, and of course the experience and aftermath of 1995.


This is a good one... of course it is!
