Some BPMs later, his style had become Hardcore… He then started creating music and released his first EPs in September ’98 on KS Records and Epiteth Records. Others followed on KS, Epiteth, Beast, Neurotoxic… until 2002 when he released his ‘Spleen’ mix CD. He also played in a lot of parties like ‘Hardcore Paradise’ in Strasbourg , at the KL in Toulouse, at D-Day in Nancy, in London… Joshua likes morbid ambiences, industrial sounds & dancefloor tracks that are not too linear. In april 2000 he created his own label Striking Wave to release new artists of the electronic scene. 6. Joshua is the name of the spacious acoustic strings / drone project of former Tower Recordings member Joshua Burkett. He recorded an album, Gold Cosmos in 2001 containing collaborations with Ben Chasny (Six Organs of Admittance), Chris Corsano (Sunburned Hand of the Man), Dredd Foole, as well as former Tower Recordings members P.G.

He also collaborated with Finnish liberated folk/ sonic tapestry group Kemialliset Ystävät on the 2004 Eclipse/Time-Lag compilation By The Fruits You Shall Know the Roots. 7. Joshua is a band defining their own music street pop. The leader of the band, Greg Avau, is a young Brussels artist with diverse talents. In 2001 he started working with Joshua, and in 2004 the MC and hiphop singer Senso joined Joshua. In 2005 their first album “L’Homme À La Tête De Chien” was very successful. Their latest album “Music & Chocolates” is situated between electro and hiphop style. 8. 'Willie And The Hand Jive' is an excellent hard boogie rock album from this group, whose identities remain unknown. The only clues come from the back cover (see photos) that states the vocalist is Dick Dodd from the Standells and the producer is Ed Cobb (also Standells producer and Chocolate Watchband). Quality hard rock with a southern rock influence (although this was a Californian project), a statement which is underpinned by their song choices as well. The record contains covers of rock standards such as 'Willie and the handjive', 'Harlem Shuffle' where they give a superb version, 'I Just Want To Make Love To You' which is played with a Lynyrd Skynyrd style or ZZ Top's 'I thank you'. This is a great release and remains still obscure. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
