Biography
London's Josey Rebelle has earned multitudes of praise for her eclectic, energetic DJ sets. Traversing genres such as techno, house, electro, soul, and drum'n'bass, her mix sessions focus on in-the-moment expression, with tracks chosen for their timelessness rather than trendiness. Her socially conscious mixes often reflect the state of the world at the time -- she sometimes punctuates them with audio excerpts from political activists and poets. A resident DJ at Rinse FM since 2011, she played at numerous clubs and festivals throughout the decade and contributed acclaimed mixes to several podcasts. Her debut appearance on BBC Radio 1's Essential Mix was voted the program's best mix of 2019. Josey in Space, Rebelle's first commercially issued mix, appeared in 2020.

A native of North London's Tottenham neighborhood, Josey Rebelle started to DJ when she was 13, inspired by U.K. pirate radio as well as Caribbean soundsystem culture. She briefly worked at Sony Music before being hired by drum'n'bass label Valve Recordings, run by Lemon D and Dillinja. After helping organize releases and shows for three years, Rebelle worked in TV production and advertising before gradually getting back into DJing. In 2010, she became a resident at legendary London club Plastic People, and appeared on the very first broadcast by online platform Boiler Room. She started broadcasting on Rinse FM in 2011, and soon became one of the dance station's most popular hosts.

Following regular appearances at London clubs like Fabric and Cable, Rebelle's international gigs increased in 2015, and her sets at festivals such as Dimensions and Primavera Sound were met with acclaim. She delivered well-received podcast mixes for Discwoman, FACT, Resident Advisor, and others, and regularly sold out all-night gigs at the Pickle Factory when she became a resident DJ at the London club in 2018. Affirming her status as one of the world's most renowned DJs, her 2019 Essential Mix was named the long-running BBC Radio 1 program's best mix of the year. In 2020, Beats in Space released Rebelle's first mix CD, Josey in Space. ~ Paul Simpson, Rovi
