Joey Negro is the most well-known pseudonym of master British DJ/producer/remixer Dave Lee. Under a plethora of other monikers including Jakatta, Akabu, Doug Willis, Raven Maize, The Sunburst Band, Sessomatto, and Z Factor, Dave was one of the first artists to incorporate disco samples in house music when he began his production career in 1988. Indeed, he was in the studio making credible and outstanding British House music when many luminaries around him were still busy getting to grips with their decks. Little has changed since then and Dave is still widely regarded as one of the most commercially successful and in-demand artists on the global scene.

Joey Negro, as an entity, was born in 1990 with the release of “Do It Believe It’ on US cult house label Nu Groove. The track was a breakthrough success and was followed by ‘Do What You Feel’, which was released on his second label and successor to Republic, Z Records. ‘Do What You Feel’ eventually crossed from a club hit to a top 40 pop hit. Another Top 40 track followed with “Love Fantasy” and an album “Universe of Love” soon after that. Throughout the 90’s and milenia, a continual stream of releases followed on Z Records as well as other choice indies JBO, Azuli and NRK. Dave Lee continues to release a single per month and draft in the highest quality remixers such as Dennis Ferrer, Henrik Schwarz, Ame and Jimpster.

In 2011 things continued apace with “No Sugar”, his collaboration with Gramophondzie and Shea Soul being one of the few tunes to reach the top 5 on both Beatport and Traxsource. The latest Soul of Disco compilation was widely regarded as the best so far. The revamp of Musique “Keep On Jumpin” held the number one spot on Beatport for most of August. While at the beginning on September there were four Joey Negro Remixes in the Traxsource top 5 - surely a record.

In 2012 Joey kept the pressure on with his DC Funk compilation “GoGo Get Down” as well as releasing a fourth studio album with his boogie funk act the The Sunburst Band, to great critical acclaim and strong sales. He also collaborated with American gospel star Kendra Cash producing a new version of her soul hit ‘Smile’ which hit the Top spot on Traxsource.com and has stayed in the top 10 downloads for over a month. This was actually the fourth number 1 on Traxsource for Joey Negro in 2012. Look out for his forthcoming album this Fall!

Artist Feature: CHARLES FEELGOOD

apt is excited to welcome Charles Feelgood to the touring roster!



Charles Feelgood loves music and even more, he loves sharing it with his fans. The man prides himself on his ability to connect with his audience – through a wicked combination of his exuberant personality and his exquisite ability to know what fills and keeps a dance floor pumpin'.

In 2010 Feelgood launched his first podcast “Bumpin House Madness” – an ongoing series of hour-long mixes that showcases both his music as well as some of the music he adores. The podcast is available for download on iTunes (http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/charles-feelgoods-bumpin-house/id365599645).

In the past year Feelgood has had several releases on Major and Independent labels such as PornoStar, Instereo, Guesthouse - with a breakout track called "Hands" on Ultra that made the Beatport Top 100 chart several weeks running with an Alex Kenji remix. In 2013 We find Charles getting back to his roots with a funk/disco flavored vibe - check out all the new goodies on Beatport and Traxsource!

Accolades such as repeatedly being named to DJ Magazine’s Top 100 DJs aside, Feelgood remains committed to lighting up dance floors around the world – summing up his musical mission in one sentence: "I just want to do what the name implies, to make people have a good time and go home with a great feeling”.
