Joeski & Onionz both crafted their DJ skills on the network of New York’s underground clubs such as Limelight, Tunnel, Wunder Bar and The Roxy. Onionz, a talented drummer & percussionist, could lay claim to being one of the youngest DJs out of NY, starting off at the tender age of 16, whilst Joeski started out spinning freestyle hip hop & disco in Queens, N.Y. The duo crossed paths in the mid 80’s and by the dawn of house music, could be heard spinning alongside other NY future stars such as Keoki and Angel Morales.

As producers, the guys have released an extensive back catalogue of music, both solo and as part of the 6400 Crew; a collective of like minded producers & DJs such as Hipp-e & Halo from H-Foundation, Master D & Tony Hewitt from Tango Recordings. As a DJ partnership, Joeski goes for the tough edges and dubbed out tribalism of the house spectrum whilst Onionz favours the more vocal and latino vibes that reflect the eclecticism of New York’s current house scene.

Outside of their busy DJ schedules, Joeski finds time to run the Maya label and produce with fellow artists like DJ Chus (for the classic ‘El Amor’) and Dano (as Twisted Pair) whilst Onionz runs Electrik Soul and also works with artists such as Mark Bell (Shaboom) and Dubtribe. Both producers also record for Siesta and Tango. A great example of communities in the house scene, Joeski & Onionz represent the new mood and era of a music that has defied the critics and still stands strong today on the world’s airwaves and dancefloors.
