Tempting Adelaide's lesbians with the place...and the space...to Party!

“Celebrating 25 years in 2009”

DJ Josh's music style emanates from playing to audiences spanning nationally across Australia since 1984. She started collecting 7” + 12” vinyl at the ripe age of 7 years old and grew up listening to AM radio, watching countdown and various music shows that spawned in the early 70’s. Her fascination of music started well before her teens. She is highly by influenced by artists who spawned from the dance music and queer generation in the early 80's from Diva's of Italio House to Hi NRG Euro beat. With European blood Josh has been addicted to the German/European trance style for many years now and has played nearly every genre of dance music in her career to date!
