interview met Joey Negro (Dave Lee) By Paul Bergenh., 16 February 2005

Defected have notched up 11 successful releases of their ‘In The House’ compilation series so far. Number 12 comes courtesy of disco house old-timer Joey Negro. Also known as Dave Lee, the DJ/producer is a true disco house hero. And a pretty eccentric guy too. Known for carefully crafted funky house tunes, Joey Negro has flourished under many different production outfits including Jakatta, Raven Maize, and Z Factor (watch the video clip here to find out why he uses so many pseudonyms). This latest mix showcases his production talent with at least 15 of his own re-edits or remixes featured over three CDs, proving he can be as individual a DJ, as he is a producer.

The mix moves effortlessly from early house and disco to funky house and electro boogie, incorporating a diverse track selection. Highlights include Pete Heller’s massive re-edit of ‘Sandcastles’, and Kings of Tomorrow’s ‘Another Day’.
