About me

Whole-heartedly creative with an expanding business mind. Over time I’ve developed a strong business awareness and eye for quality, accompanied by an unrelenting desire to focus and excel within the music industry. My approach to work is gregarious and humour-led but with absolute commitment to completing any given task and challenge to the highest level, with added innovation where possible. I’m seeking to further my knowledge whilst also sharing my experiences with others. Artist name - Joe Roche | Artist bio - "Based in Manchester, Joe mixes a distinctive, progressive sound with innovative technical talent; a combination that has seen him rise through the ranks of Manchester’s cutting-edge club scene. Joe’s unique style, skill and diversity as both a DJ and producer span a wide spectrum of house and techno sub-genres, inventively fused with an eclectic funk and world-music groove. Critically-acclaimed sets at iconic venues including Victoria Warehouse, Gorilla, South and Antwerp Mansion, appearances at V Festival, the 2018 Singapore Grand Prix and other leading events, as well as performances alongside ground-breaking artists such as Camelphat, Kydus, David Glass and Le Fleur, have established Joe’s reputation as a key emerging talent."
