Dave Lee FKA Joey Negro house & disco set

The disco aficionado played a very special set for us at V Festival .

Dave Lee is the last man standing. There are very few DJs and producers left from the early years of British house, but Lee continues to thrive, still DJing, remixing and making dance music. Under a dazzling variety of aliases – Sessomatto, Akabu, The Sunburst Band, Hed Boys, Jakatta and most famously Joey Negro – he’s been producing music since 1988, clocking up hundreds of classic remixes along the way, as well as several chart hits.

Lee’s love of disco has always infused his music, originally in his use of samples and nowadays in the form of carefully curated compilations, and his latest album, ‘Produced With Love’, is no exception, drawing on the entire history of the genre and bringing it completely up to date.

At almost 60 years old i would like to say..Dave Lee has reinvented and played music that i grew up with and that heavily influenced me during my younger years of late 70s, 80s and 90s clubbing, he has done this in a very subtle way without taking away the authenticity of these classic original tracks, but doing enough to bring my era of music forward to a new generation so they can appreciate and enjoy the times that i loved so much, for that Dave Lee i salute you❤️

That crowd did not deserve the majestic marathon of funk Joey gifted them with.

Joey Negro gets it. He understands dance music, it's roots, it's true emotional impact, It's not just about shakin' your ass but also freeing your heart. It all comes down to one word ... SOUL.

This set. This is where my passion for the soulful dance music started, and with that passion i started to play in some bars in my city. It's amazing to spread this music all over the city and reach ears looking for something different. Thank you Dave

[uniqueco]

Joey Negro is the holistic doctor of disco house music.

[robertolocatelli]

yoey Negro un vero maestro, un riferimento per tutti coloro che vorrebbero fare lo stesso mestiere.
Se cosi' fosse vi invito a seguirlo, e cercare di apprendere da lui che questo mestiere lo conosce veramente bene.
Anche a lui auguro uno splendido Natale e un favoloso 2019.
Auguri sinceri a tutti voi.

[dipterixbig]

Undoubtedly when combining tracks, mixing and arriving at a structure where at any point in this music video it is completely pleasant and can only come from a DJ with a long history of who learns to project a truly unforgettable party.

[montysingh]

This guy is a genius !!!
His mixes are pure class
Great job joey

[LoneWolf-qvlx]

Its never the event/party, its the person and/or people that make it. You can have fun and enjoy things wherever you go if it's who you are and see the fun and/or good. Too many hold back on opening themselves up to new experiences out of fear and the unknown.

[ianknowles]

Thanks for reinventing my younger years Dave lee, .

[coreymiller]

I'm absolutely hooked on Joey's intense mixes! Man, you not only can see this man's passion, but it shows in his work. Keep us moving, Joey!

[papofizzmc]

This Brotha is holdin it down wit dat old school. He's mixing for real. Track after track. Not like alot of these younger festival djs who premix their sets and play 20 min of the mix on a single deck. This boys real!! ...VERY NICE!

[Manupday]
