Klever is one of the few and best DJ’s who can balance technical skill and party rocking. His style is energetic and air-tight."
- DJ A-Trak
DJ Klever aka Josh Winkler was born on the fourth of July in 1977. Before he could even walk, let alone strut, Josh was spoon-fed the world of rhythm by way of his pops, famous blues musician, Juke Joint Johnny. At the tender age of four, Josh received his very first drum set, a manimall.. Muppet Show kit that he practiced playing until the skins busted.
Josh's wonder years were spent like any all-american kid: playing baseball, grinding curbs, and eating apple pie. He distinctly remembers the countless nights snuck out and hit Atlanta's local skate spots where his rep grew bigger for pushing big tricks.
At the age of sixteen, Josh’s passion for both music and tricks met the world of turntablism and Klever was born. Growing up with a hip hop background, Klever studied DJ’s like Premiere, Cash Money, Afrika Bambaataa and Jazzy Jeff for their mixing and scratching arrangements even as a youngster; but he was also heavily influenced by the wilds of Atlanta and was a regular attendee of Freaknik. There he was intrigued by the booty music of Luke, 2 Live Crew, and Kilo.
By 1997, Klever began relentlessly competing in every local competition possible where he linked up with the Third World Citizens - Faust, Shorty, Shotgun, Craze, and T-Rock. In 2000, Klever seized the national DMC championship title and while at the international DMC competition, he was inducted into the world famous Allies crew, consisting of world-renowned turntablists such as Craze and A-Trak. Shortly after, Klever began traveling the globe a lot with Craze during so, the two released a now cult classic - Scratch Nerds... Klever began to produce prominent break records for battle DJ’s and producers. In 2001, Klev successfully defended his national DMC title. He then represented the states in London for the international title. Later that year, he also took national ITF title in San Fransisco.
In the past 5 years, Klever has been performing his signature sets non-stop around the world (Taiwan, England, Ireland, Germany, New Zealand, Scandinavia, Australia, Japan, etc). He consistently amazes crowds and party-goers from 60 to 60,000 at world renowned venues such as (but not limited to) Miami’s Ice Palace, Tai Pae’s Ministry of Sound, NYC’s Roxy and Irving Plaza, Club Fabric in London, numerous House of Blues venues throughout the U.S., El Rey Theatre in L.A., and Atlanta’s Tabernacle. He has also showcased his skills at monumental events like the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, the Canadian Circa Skateboard Tour, Audiotistic in L.A., and the High Museum in Atlanta.
Klever has seen the future of his hometown because he paints it. Beyond his accredited mastery as a turntablist, his ability to combine crowd-roaring routines and mix sets with his signature party rocking steez has established his name throughout the DF circuit as tomorrows DJ... He moves crowds in every direction from his roots of Crunk, Booty Bass, and Hip Hop to the sweaty sounds of Electro, Dance-Rock, Baltimore, New-Wave, Hard Rock, and anything worthy to make you rock with finesse.
KLEVER is currently a member of the world famous ALLIES/ammo rec. /STPCHLD crew. He is working on collaborative projects that encompass the street culture lifestyle through music art and fashion. Between touring nonstop and his dedicated lab time, you can find Klever maintaining his monthly residency at Atlanta’s most off-the-wallest party otherwise known as Sloppy Seconds.

JOKERS OF THE SCENE, Ottawa – FOOLS GOLD / MySpace.com - JOKERS OF THE SCENE - Ottawa, CA - Thrash / Trance / Club - www.myspace.com/sceneofthejoker
After five years running their wildly successful club night Disorganised - which has hosted the earliest Canadian appearances of such party favorites as MSTRKRFT, CSS, Diplo, Crystal Castles and Girl Talk - longtime selectors DJ Booth and Chameleonic decided to dive headfirst into producing tracks of their own, and Jokers of the Scene was born.
JOTS take the best and most mind-meltingly intense parts of dance music through history - the ecstatic buildups of big room Euro house music, the hyper-distorted basslines of electro rock, and the lighthearted samples of 1990s rave - and throw them all in a blender at 130 BPM. It’s loud, it’s Electro, it’s fun, and it’s lighting up dancefloors worldwide.
The duo’s remixes of underground favorites DJ Blaqstarr (Mad Decent), Muscles (Modular) and Brodinski (Mental Groove) have placed them front-and-center among the new club producers to watch for 2008, and their debut 12" on Fool’s Gold, "Y’all Know The Name," only makes the buzz louder. Already a pre-release smash, JOTS’ cheeky hip-hop rework has been getting dropped everywhere from sweaty basement parties to Ibiza megaclubs. At this past year’s Lollapalooza and Coachella festivals, Flosstradamus cranked up "Y’all Know The Name’s massive breakdown while accompanied by projections of a 20-foot mechanical dinosaur - all too fitting!
With more official remixes and a follow-up EP due on Fool’s Gold this summer, Jokers of the Scene’s club infestation isn’t going to let up any time soon.
Opening the night up proper…
