Straight from the league of house legends, we’re thrilled to welcome the NYC artist who never fails to touch both body and soul: Joaquin ‘Joe’ Claussell. His remarkable journey began in the ’80s and includes running the legendary Dance Tracks Records, playing the heyday of the Paradise Garage, founding Spiritual Life Music, and remixing icons like Nina Simone. The list goes on, and we haven’t even mentioned the party that shaped ’90s house culture: Body & Soul, which he co-founded with Danny Krivit and François K. Beyond all of the above, Claussell is perhaps best known for his unparalleled understanding of music as the most beautiful, intricate language. Through his rhythmic, mood-traversing DJ sets, which often incorporate live elements, he transforms the dance floor into sacred ground.
