Manchester's Joe Roche is a unique artist; with his finger on the pulse. Whether at the helm of Do As You Please or sharing the stage with luminaries like Gerd Janson, Yousef or Mall Grab, this producer, DJ, and label-head continues to absorb and refine the eclectic influences of his ongoing musical journey.
The breakout year of 2023 saw Roche ascending to new heights, supporting Fatboy Slim at O2 Victoria Warehouse, gaining altitude at Snowbombing, whilst solidifying and increasing his following with regular slots at Joshua Brooks, Eastern Bloc and Ramona - where he opened for the likes of Danny Howard, Dimitri From Paris, and Lauren Lo Sung.
Beyond his DJ prowess, Joe has also crafted an impressive discography, earning accolades from electronic music enthusiasts for his tireless output and no-nonsense approach to production. 2024/25 showed a continued upward trajectory following a fabric London Room 1 & 3 debut, followed by another busy Summer with shows playing every room at Pikes Ibiza, Hide & Seek Festival, Parklife, a string of Joshua Brooks shows and more.
Roche took his first steps as a DJ in Manchester in 2014 cutting his teeth, and honing his skills in some of the city's legendary record stores. Joe's talent saw him rapidly progress to appearances alongside key names, including Kerri Chandler, radio play on BBC Radio 1 & 6, and featuring on line-ups at esteemed venues, including the Warehouse Project and Leeds’ Mint Warehouse.

On the production front, Roche is levelling up like never before. Drawing on years of trial and error, he's now channeling all that experience into his most focused and refined work yet, with a clarity of vision that's transforming his studio output.
