After making his Nottingham debut at Stealth Vs Rescued last year, we are thrilled to welcome back JOY ORBISON to play at WIGFLEX on Friday June 4th.
Twenty-two-year-old Pete O'Grady from Croydon, who goes by the name Joy Orbison, is one of the hottest dance producers around, recently being named in the BBC's "Sound of 2010".
Despite all of this attention he still works as a "dogsbody" in a mail room, saying he prefers music to be a relief from work, rather than work itself.
O'Grady has been DJing since the age of 12 and his sound is a lovingly-crafted late-night evolution of house and UK garage, with soft bass, hypnotic home-made percussion and distant chopped-up vocals. His debut single, "Hyph Mngo/Wet Look" was released on Hotflush Recordings in October 2009, and has been followed by "J.Doe/BRKLN CLLN", "The Shrew Would Have Cushioned The Blow" and remixes for Four Tet & Jose James.
