When I first listened to Jozif's music, I got struck by two very clear thoughts: first, I realised I had never heard anything comparable before. Then, the second after, I felt the urge to release these tracks on Fondation. It suddently became all very clear why I had created the label. How do I know that? Whenever it happens - and it's not that often at all, believe me - I instantly get a mental image of a Fondation vynil with the big "F" at the center spinning endlessly on a turntable. The image doesn't leave me for a while. I love this feeling. All of Jozif's creations have the ability to do this to me. I feel very lucky to have met him and to be able to release his music." - Danton Eeprom, Fondation label mgr.

Our sixth release sees the Fondation family growing. We're welcoming a brand new name aboard, Jozif.
A newcomer on the production scene, Jozif has always been around music from a very young age, thanks to world-famous drummer dad. He has deejayed in London for several years. His trademark mesmerizing house and quirky attitude quickly got him massive attention and support from British tastemakers such as Craig Richards, Andrew Weatherall or Leftroom's Matt Tolfrey.

82988 / Digga Deepa is his debut EP.

In "82988", bleeps and synths are running after a deviant bass, all of them taking turns in invading the dancefloor.
An epic tune made of dissonant stems matching one each other precisely to create a very pulsating house / techno beat, not unlike Konrad Black or Maetrik.

On the flip, "Digga Deepa" takes the hypnotic way. A grower based on a vicious and highly addictive gimmick. Think of an haunted nine minutes apnea able to take any dancefloor to unsuspected heights.
