"Bacbeat is a diverse house DJ who although in the early stages of his journey has already captivated crowds in London, Ibiza and Africa. After recently playing in Studio 338 for Forward Motion, Bacbeat is commanding dance floors with growing popularity. Maidstone has been cultivating a reputation for throwing some of the biggest parties Kent has to offer, with headliner acts such as Deadmau5, Camel Phat, Hot Since 82 and Jamie Jones to name a few. Joe has been DJing for just shy of a decade. What started as a hobby from his interest in dance music, Joe has grown enough as a DJ to join some great residents at The Source Bar in Maidstone. Joe, a devotee of minimal tech house, emerged from the vibrant music scene of Maidstone with a passion for composing immersive sonic experiences. Born and raised in the heart of Maidstone and surrounded by music, Joe leads his passion for creating fascinating experiences. His journey into the realm of electronic music began nearly a decade ago when he first stepped behind the decks. Mesmerised by the hypnotic allure of minimal tech house, he delved deep into its intricate rhythms and ethereal melodies, honing his craft with each beat dropped and every mix mastered. In 2017, Joe founded his own record Label, Until Tomorrow, and under its banner, he orchestrated a series of legendary parties that captured the imagination of Maidstone’s electronic music aficionados. These events became synonymous with cutting-edge soundscapes, pulsating rhythms and an electric atmosphere that left revellers craving more. One of Joe’s most significant achievements is his ability to bring together some of the most talented artists in the electronic music industry. From acts such as Camelphat and Hot Since 82 to raising stars like Le Fleur and Nic Fanciulli, his events have been at the forefront of the industry’s growth. Joe’s influence goes beyond the dance floor, as he also produces innovative and captivating tracks that are designed to keep the mind and the body engaged. Despite his meteoric rise in the electronic music community, he is still grounded and committed to staying true to his hometown of Maidstone.
