Josh Cooper


Read the Josh Cooper Interview below and share it on social media.


Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?


What's up, I'm Josh. I'm a DJ/ Producer from Edmonton, AB. I make a bit of everything from Dubstep to Future Bass and even House. I first got a bit of success from opening for REZZ last February. That night, so much changed. I became a lot more involved with the local scene for dance music. Since then I have gained over 12 thousand followers on my social media and over 50,000 plays on Soundcloud alone. Lately I've just been dropping a bunch of new tunes like my remix for Porter Robinson and "Next Level."

How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?


My influences are all over the place, man. Lately my main ones would have to be NGHTMRE, Graves, Crankdat, Scarlxrd, 21 Savage, & Jaden Smith. Lot's of Future Bass, Trap, and Rap. Originally, back when I was like 12 & 13 people like R3hab, Alesso, Approaching Nirvana, ZEDD, & Martin Garrix all had a huge influence on my music. Kind of like that whole Spinnin' Records style, haha.

What´s new right now?


Oh man, right now everything is new. I have so much news I can't wait to drop. So much new mind blowing music. I'm currently working on two new remixes. One for Dj Snake & another secret one. I have three new originals all ready for a release as well, I'm just waiting on the perfect time to drop em. Other than music, I'm currently working on a Youtube channel where I'll be dropping some tutorials and maybe even show vlogs, we'll see what happens.

Here's a link to that by the way:

Are you a superfan of anyone? How did you become a superfan? Do you remember how you become a fan and what turned you into super fan? Have you ever thought about why you´re such a fan?

What was the biggest mistake you made when you started making music and what would be the number one tip you could give to a newcomer musician?


Biggest mistake I ever made, was being in denial that my music sucked. I didn't teach myself anything new for like a year or two because I thought my music was the shit, when in reality it was terrible.

How do you personally discover new music?


I always like to talk to fans to see what else they like and listen to. I always check out what they say and if I like it, I'll add it to a playlist. (Btw I love listening to fans tracks, HMU)

What is your best tip for those who struggle with finishing their tracks?


Don't overthink anything. If you think that your song is finished it probably is but, come back around a week later and listen to what else you could add (or even take away).
