#JOSHUA FINK SERIES#
In 1996, Rolling Stone writer Frank Broughton observed that "a Josh Wink record takes a series of sampled noises, then twists and warps them through a barrage of sound processors, resulting in a spiraling blend of acidic bass lines and trippy break beats." Another reviewer referred to Wink's Profound Sounds album series as "sensual techno, rendered as a whole composition rather than a collection of individual, flavor-of-the-month tracks." In interviews, he has stated that his music is "built around tension", and that his work is often influenced by "mistake theory, which is: I use a lot of things that you and I might consider (experimenting) with effects, with filters, with percentages in my sampler, and just doing stuff that you wouldn't ordinarily do." Wink's current style is a mixture of acid house, drum and bass, and experimental music. 1988 was also professionally significant for Wink in that he turned eighteen, and was then able to work as a DJ in nightclubs. By 1988, Wink had met fellow DJ King Britt, and the two began creating original tracks together.
#JOSHUA FINK HOW TO#
As a teen, he quickly gained familiarity with DJing equipment and taught himself how to mix beats in 1986. It was at this time that Wink also became a vegetarian, following in the footsteps of his mother and brother. His interest in DJing began as a 13-year-old, when he became apprentice to a friend, a radio station and mobile DJ in Philadelphia. As a youth, Wink studied the piano for three years and took clarinet lessons as a teenager.
