"(Nov/Dec 2009) We're always loath to announce a best-of list of any kind,
but when it comes to Bristol's Joker, it's hard to think about the year in
music without uttering his name." XLR8R

A Lighta! Sound fave, JOKER's debut appearance in Vancouver should be one
to remember. Accompanied by MC NOMAD, whom he regularily plays with, so
expect the energy to be electric.

Aged just 20, Joker is an immensely precocious talent, he burst onto the
Dubstep and Grime scenes in 2008 with the vibrant ‘Grimey Princess’ and
‘Gully Brook Lane’ which were released on Earwax and Plastician’s
Terrorhythm imprint respectively. His productions possess a rare duality
of intense and nonchalant energy, the soundtrack to a pimp on an
interstellar journey.
Joker’s musical peers include Rustie, Gemmy and Kode 9, the recognised
tastemaker and man behind Hyperdub who identified Joker as one to watch
when he named him as his protégée for Mary Anne Hobbs’ hugely seminal
follow-up to Dubstep Wars, Generation Bass; broadcast worldwide on BBC
Radio 1.
Joker’s video can be viewed on Youtube and in testament to the level of
interest in this Bristolian talent, continues to be the highest viewed
video of the Maida Vale session.
Joker has remixed Roni Size, Simian Mobile Disco and Lil Boots, his
productions are battered by DJs including Skream, Rustie, Harmonic 313 and
Plastician. Pitchfork named Joker, 2008 Producer Of The Year a huge
accolade for a producer who’s not only just out of his teens but also just
out of the starting blocks.
Born to Grime and adopted by Dubstep, Joker is reluctant to be classified,
but his soul drenched productions have been described as Jehri Curl Boogie
and Wiley stuck in an elevator with Cameo. Whatever you call it, as we
move through 2009 and beyond, Joker is one of the shining stars that can
be seen in the distance and by the time the light of his electric melody’s
reaches our eardrums he has already begun the next phase of his journey.
