Joey Youngman / Fetish Recordings

The owner and A&R of Fetish Recordings, Joey Youngman has been producing house music since the ripe age of 11. With extensive training in classical and jazz piano, he had a strong foundation to start from. Most of Joey's early teen years were spent satisfying his obsession for making electronic music. Eventually, he fell so in love with house that he decided to focus his energy completely on it. This was during the peak of the 'massive' scene in California, where young Joey found himself inspired by the fresh new sounds of this music he so loved. After watching Mark Farina and Derrick Carter play to 25,000 people, Youngman picked up his first set of turntables, and began learning how to mix records. This new craft taught him how to move people with music, and enlightened him in his own music production. Joey soon began playing at clubs and parties before he was old enough to get in the front door.

Now with over 10 years of production experience under his belt and a huge library of original tracks to show for it, Joey also finds time in his hectic production schedule for DJ gigs -- a way to spread his patented flavor of house music to the world. His discography is growing extremely fast, and shows no sign of slowing down any time soon. Future plans for Fetish Recordings include a great deal of Joey's original work, and a few surprises from some new groundbreaking artists; watch out for a new release every month. Youngman has also joined forces with Tony Hewitt under the alias "Young Governors," and Jonene under the alias "ManWhore." Stay tuned for releases on; Fetish, Doubledown, Freaked, Blockhead, Detour, Lowdown, Jamayka, Tango, Developed, Nightshift, Eden, Drop, and more.

Slater Hogan

While you may not have heard of him before, his productions speak for themselves and his future looks bright. In a recent interview, when asked what he had been listening to of late, Mark Farina noted Slater Hogan as one of his favorite producers,

Slater co-owns Muzique Boutique Recordings with partners, John Larner and Shawn Collins. The first three releases (Tony Senghore and Jonene, Hakan Lidbo, Lance Desardi) received high acclaim from DJs such as Mark Farina, DJ Sneak, and DJ Heather. Along with his partner, John Larner, Slater has produced over 12 records in 6 months on respected labels such as Aroma, Lowdown, Icon, After School, Gallery, Odds and Ends, Hip Therapist, and Mouthful, among others.

John Larner

Meet dj John Larner, child of the Chicago and Detroit dance music scene. Raised on a healthy diet of electronic music and dance. Educated by the founding fathers of modern dance music, and fortunate enough to grow up in a time and area where Jeff Mills and Steve “Silk†Hurley could be heard on the radio. Supported by a father who himself loved Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream, jazz-fusion and the sounds that helped shape electronica as we know it. Surrounded by friends, whose love of all things dance, made it possible for John to make music his life’s work. From djing, to production, to promoting club nights and one-offs, for the past twenty years, John Larner made dance music his life, all the while influencing people all around him. Spreading the word, the feeling and the love for dance music. “I like making people happy, I love seeing people smile, dance, jump around or just sit and nod their head to the music. I love sharing what makes me happy with others.†- John Larner
