JOEY SLICK 76.1 INTERFM JOINT ONE RADIO (CLUBS/EVENTS) – ALL JAPAN www.myspace.com/joeyslick

Keep the music playing!

 

Joey Slick is in the house!!!  Joey who? you might ask.  Disc jockey Joey Slick is the host of the weekly Joint One Radio show in Japan.  This special mixshow has been on the air & retained on behalf of undeniable ratings for the past 9 years on JODW 76.1 INTERFM Tokyo (Saturday nights from 11pm-12am).   Joint One recently aired their 2000th show, highlighting the recording industry'smost current R&B, Hip-Hop/RAP & Reggae music!  Keeping the programming fresh and “safely” open to extremes, the music appeals to a broad range of demographics, constantly increasing the show's popularity. 

Born and raised in Monterey Park California, a small town just outside of Los Angeles, Joey began his career as most DJ's did.  At age 13, he and some friends gathered whatever equipment and records they could get their hands on and spun their disks at local school dances and parties.  Dedicating his all to perfecting his craft over the next several years, Joey's sounds were eventually heard on KVCM, KUCI, KPWR, and various high profile events.

Once hitting his stride in the Los Angeles music and entertainment scene, people started taking notice.  Agents, producers and artist began contacting Joey in attempts to get airtime.  As a result, The Black Eye Peas may have had different careers if it were not for Joey Slick bringing their demo cassette tape to the Baka Boyz’ attention on the Friday Night Flavas program.

Soon after, the promotional media was arriving by the crates.  So much that it soon spawned the Joint One Record Pool, sampling thousands of demo music per month, practicing tough review and selection of the hottest & freshest songs to make the monthly cut.  DJ's, radio stations, and tastemakers subscribe to, upkeep,  and depend on record pool filtration to help determine their programming.

Continuing to spin his music on shows & now running his record pool, Joey Slick was approached to be spotlighted on a one week remote live show in LA to Japan for the Soul Train radio program on J-Wave. This in sequence spurred a two week traveling show in Japan.  Before the show's end, Joey was presented with an offer to host a daily radio show in Tokyo on InterFM.  The rest is history in the making.

Joint One Radio, historically, remains the first show dedicated to contemporary R&B, Hip-Hop & Reggae music from American artists on prime-time radio. Utilizing quality control and context programming, Joint One Radio inclusively gives light to striving local Japanese music as well.  Through the record pool, they have access to the newest music in the world.  Their mission is to expose the freshest/hottest sounds to listeners of all ages.  On tasteful occasion, they will even bring back and spin a classic from the 70's, 80's or 90's, just to prove that great music still has power and appeal.  Joint One has also been producing new undiscovered artists, as well as creating their own original scores. 

When it comes to music of this genre, Joint One Radio and Record Pool are the pipeline to all of Japan.  When you think of where the heartbeat of American music is today, thoughts of Los Angeles or New York may cross your mind.  At the very least, we may think that our radio stations should be playing the most current music in the industry.  Think twice because most likely, these same songs were first aired on InterFM 76.1 Tokyo.
