Smokey Joe

Breakbeat, Hardcore / Drum n Bass, Jungle producer / remixer and DJ from North London, UK. Co-founder of Smokers Inc alongside his brother Tobi Brodie.

Smokey Joe began his career in sound engineering, moving on to work in radio where he produced and hosted the award winning friday night dance show on Wear FM. Joe began producing in 1992, and with the track “Wha' Dat (Gimmie My Gun)” he first made his name in the scene.

In 1993 he signed to Label #1624, where he recorded the classics “” (later remixed by Artist #337) and “Shining”, as well as producing tracks for Artist #600 and Artist #12176.

After producing several tracks for the label's Label #36429 compilation series, Joe parted from Labello in 1995. He went on to produce Artist #106641's album for PWL and Artist #16913's album for Label #6394 before hooking up with Label #5236, producing the first 5 singles on their newly formed label.

Around the same time, working with his brother, Joe set up Label #13631, and went on to produce 12 of the 15 releases on the label, as well as remixing tracks for Moving Shadow, Ganja Records, Suburban Base and Kickin' Records.

Smokey Joe still releases material nowadays but not as much as he did in the 90s era.
