The Rise of DJ Joe
In recent months, the music world has become enamored with PinkPantheress’s DJ, Joe. His dynamic presence and stylish moves behind the decks have garnered him a dedicated following, especially after his standout performance at the 2025 Glastonbury Festival. During this unforgettable set, fans were treated to an intro by Louis Theroux, a nine-piece band dressed in tartan, and a thrilling tap-dancing moment featuring Joe himself.
After the Glastonbury performance, clips of Joe and PinkPantheress dancing in perfect harmony began trending on TikTok, amassing millions of views. Pink recently praised Joe on BBC Radio 1, describing him as a fabulous presence and a “baddie” who has quickly become a fan favorite. “Everyone loves him; everyone’s thirsting over him in his comments now!” she exclaimed.
Passion for Dance
When asked about his love for dancing, Joe expressed a deep-rooted connection to music. “I love music and I love moving my body to music! I think dancing is hardwired into our DNA,” he said. His passion for tap dancing stems from its unique blend of music and movement. “Tap dancing is like visual percussion, where your body is a drum,” he explained.
Memorable Moments
Reflecting on his experiences with PinkPantheress, Joe highlighted three standout moments from their time together. The electric atmosphere of the Brixton Academy shows, where the crowd seemed to transform into a sea of jumping fans, was a highlight. Another memorable moment was his tap dancing to Ice Spice’s verse in “Boy’s a Liar” at Glastonbury. Finally, he cherished the opportunity to scratch on vinyl for NPR’s Tiny Desk series.
DJ Inspirations and Venues
When it comes to his favorite DJs, Joe named Juliana Huxtable as the coolest in the industry. He also shared some of his favorite club venues, including Final in Taipei, known for its exceptional atmosphere, and the iconic bumper cars at Coney Island, which boast fantastic acoustics. He also mentioned an abandoned railroad linking Long Island City and Brooklyn as a hidden gem.
Musical Preferences
Joe’s taste in remixes is evident in his enthusiasm for Nia Archives’ “Illegal” remix, which he admits he might overplay. As for his all-time favorite PinkPantheress track, he confidently chose “Stateside.” When it comes to food, his go-to UK service station meal is a classic meal deal: a tuna and sweetcorn sandwich, salt and vinegar crisps, and an Irn-Bru.
Personal Touches
In terms of grooming, Joe visits Matia Emsellem in New York for his haircuts. However, he humorously revealed that in his “darkest moments,” he sometimes takes matters into his own hands and cuts his hair himself.
As DJ Joe continues to rise in popularity, his charm and talent are captivating audiences everywhere, solidifying his place in the vibrant world of music and dance.
