Q&A with Josh Wink

Josh-wink

Owner of the popular Ovum Recordings label, Josh Wink has always run ahead of the pack, as a DJ, label owner, producer, remixer, and artist. Getting going in the late 1980s, by 1995 Wink had become one of the first DJ-producers to find mainstream success, when he unleashed a string of classics that topped charts worldwide and made him a bona fide pop star in Europe. In the past year Wink has released two dancefloor anthems, “How’s your evening so far” and “Superfreak”.

He will be doing his thing on the main stage this Sunday September 26th at 17:30 for what will surely be one of the highlights of the season.

Check out his Q&A!
