JLF (Josh Foster) is a DJ on mission to bring the fun and party vibe back into hard house and make it once again accessible to the masses.
Carving his own niche with high energy sets packed full of mashups and reworks of his own creation, his over-the-top edits are a combination of classic tracks, acapellas and unreleased material – tongue in cheek bootlegs that whip the crowd into a frenzy and leave them begging for more…
The last few years have seen sets at Unity in the Sun (Kavos), Flaunt, Shed, Meltarn, MadHouse, Fixate, Dropp Junkiez, Happy Vibes, Anarchy and an acclaimed performance at The Tidyland Weekender to round it all off. He counts heavyweights like Amber D, Jon Hemming and General Bounce amongst his fans and is slowly amassing the kind of adulation usually reserved for legacy artists – a recognition of his unique approach to DJing and performance.
He’s had almost 50 tracks released since 2021 with another 10 slated for this year, with his music showing up on labels including Tidy Trax, Vicous Circle, Cheeky Tracks, Boxt and Faculty One. His productions have support from industry titans Hannah Laing, Viviana Casanova, Yomanda, The Tidy Boys, Andy Farley, Amber D, Digital Mafia, General Bounce and Jon Hemming and have featured on numerous albums and compilations.
Josh is now looking to focus on making the transition to headlining and supporting established headliners, whilst working through his bucket list of major brands to represent and target labels to release with.
Full Biography
JLF (Josh Foster) is a DJ on mission to bring the fun and party vibe back into hard house and make it once again accessible to the masses.
At a time where it is increasingly difficult to stand out, he’s carved his own niche with high energy sets packed full of mashups, edits and reworks of his own creation. These combine to provide a unique experience every time he plays – a breath of fresh air in the sometimes ‘a bit too serious’ hard house scene!
“I like to bring something new and unique to every brand I play for, pushing myself technically and creatively to offer something different to the dancefloor every single time.” - JLF
Spending countless days in the studio before each gig creating unique tracks, remixes and edits that are all tailored to the event and its theme, his over-the-top mashups are a combination of classic tracks, acapellas and unreleased material – tongue in cheek bootlegs that whip the crowd into a frenzy and leave them begging for more… With over 200 of these already in his arsenal you won’t hear a set like it anywhere else!
A resident at the well respect Meltdarn since March 2022, Josh plays across the full spectrum of hard house – from disco inspired grooves to high octane, hoover driven NRG and everything (and anything) in-between and plenty that isn’t!!
“There is no one doing what he is doing right now, no one!” - Jon Hemming
The last 2 years have seen his star begin to rise, winning DJ competitions for sets at Unity in the Sun (Kavos), Flaunt, Shed, Meltarn, MadHouse, Dropp Junkiez, Fixate, Happy Vibes, Anarchy and rounded it all off with an acclaimed performance at The Tidyland Weekender. He counts heavyweights like Amber D, Jon Hemming and General Bounce amongst his most dedicated fans and is slowly amassing the kind of adulation usually reserved for established legacy artists – a recognition of his unique approach to DJing and performance.
He’s had almost 50 tracks released since 2021 with another 10 slated for this year, with his music showing up on labels including Tidy Trax, Vicous Circle, Cheeky Tracks, Boxt and Faculty One. His productions have support from industry titans Hannah Laing, Viviana Casanova, Yomanda, The Tidy Boys, Andy Farley, Amber D, Drax Nelson, Digital Mafia, General Bounce and Jon Hemming and have featured on albums including Keep It Tidy 7, The Tidy Boys Annual, Cheeky Tracks Secret Weapons and 100% Ibiza Bangers, plus a multitude of respected compilations.
“I am in awe of him…” - Amber D
In 2024 Josh is looking to focus on making the transition to headlining and supporting established headliners at smaller events, whilst working through his bucket list of major brands to represent and target labels to release he music on. He has multiple bookings already confirmed for next year, and his first international gig at Unity in the Sun has already been announced. He is excited to be working on a 'JLF Live' show where he will be fusing DJing and production into one unique experience for clubbers – more details on this coming soon.
With his background in the 2000’s club scene, his cultural influences include the 90’s rave scene, classic trance, and golden age hard house, and he takes inspiration for a diverse list of DJ’s including Andy Farley, Andy Whitby, Joe Longbottom, James Hype and Karim.
You can catch JLF live streaming every Sunday over on Twitch and he uploads a new mix to his growing SoundCloud following each month, as well as regular appearances on Radio Shows and Podcasts including Amber D’s show on LCD and Fortify on Hits Radio amongst many others.
He is now taking on a limited number of DJ bookings for 2024, so enquire now for availability and any other management enquiries including live streaming, interviews, and radio sets.
Exclusive Promo Mixes
2 unreleased promo mixes - one showcasing my main peak-time ‘party’ sound and the other tailored for harder dance floors.
If you would like an exclusive mix to help promote an event I'm playing at, just let me know at the point of booking.
Every mix I do contains brand new mashups, edits and remixes which are tailored to the event and/or theme of the set so the more time I have to get it done the better!
