Who DJ Joe is · Read the full story · Frequently asked questions
DJ Joe is one of the three names who carry Bouyon from Dominica to Guadeloupe starting in 2007. Alongside him: Vador (Vadore Concept) and Asa Bantan. Together they push the Yellow Gaza project and install 160 BPM hardcore as the new Bouyon Gwada norm. In December 2012, the Rebel Up!
blog places him in Paris with Suppa and the Gaza Girls, long before streaming platforms. 's "Bouyon Hardcore 2k13" mix (155 BPM), with Suppa, Gaza Girls, Doc J and Weelow. His trace then goes on at Vadore Concept: the "Bouyon Remix Mix" in 2014, then "Bwé Rhum" with Asa Bantan on 5 February 2023, in the Bouyon Kings Mixtape series.
Without the bridge he opens with Vador and Asa Bantan, the 2023 New Bouyon Wave wouldn't have had ready ground in Guadeloupe.
On the Yellow Gaza side
DJ Joe holds a precise place in the Act II Gwada chain: Vador, DJ Joe and Asa Bantan carry Bouyon towards Guadeloupe through the Yellow Gaza project, while Suppa founds Gaza Crew at the same time, a separate collective. The Yellow Gaza / Gaza Crew distinction is a reading key: they are two neighbouring outfits, not one. DJ Joe is attached to the Yellow Gaza side and to the DJ/carrier function, not to the collective-founder function.
Audio and stage trace, 2012-2013
The public evidence of DJ Joe's activity concentrates on two moments. First Paris, in December 2012: the Rebel Up! blog places him on stage with Suppa and the Gaza Girls, before streaming platforms became the main distribution surface. Then Rebel Up!'s mix `Bouyon Hardcore 2k13` (December 2013, 70 minutes at 155 BPM), which tags him alongside Suppa, Gaza Girls, Doc J and Weelow. Those traces make DJ Joe one of the names of the first hardcore Gwada wave, inside a massive SoundCloud / Mixcloud scene between 2011 and 2015.
Continuity towards globalisation
In April 2014, his `Bouyon Remix Mix` lands on Vadore Concept's The Bouyon Remix mixtape. Then, on 5 February 2023, `Bwé Rhum` with Asa Bantan comes out in the label's Bouyon Kings Mixtape series. That credit confirms DJ Joe is not a figure sealed inside the first wave: he is one of the carriers still active in the contemporary Bouyon network, connected in particular to Asa Bantan, himself one of the engines of Bouyon globalisation. DJ Joe is a Gwada carrier, not a global pillar like Asa Bantan, Mr Ridge or TIITII NBA, which takes nothing away from his historic function as a Dominica-Guadeloupe pivot.
