Artist profile
About
Joeski is the artist name of Joe Flores, a Brooklyn-born DJ, producer, remixer and label founder whose house music career began in New York clubs in the early 1990s. Resident Advisor identifies him as the founding force behind Maya Recordings, while the label’s anniversary profile traces his path from The Chocolate Factory DJ collective and early sets at Limelight, Tunnel, Palladium and Nasa to a long international career. He launched Maya in 2001 and has used it as a home for deep, tech and Latin-tinged house, releasing more than a thousand records and building a catalogue that has remained visible in Beatport and Traxsource circles. His productions and remixes have also appeared through Crosstown Rebels, Defected, Desolat and Poker Flat, connecting his New York roots with the wider underground house network. Joeski’s own music often favors warm percussion, rolling bass and vocal or instrumental details that keep a groove moving without crowding it; the Maya catalogue shows that range across club tools, soulful cuts and collaborations with artists including DJ Chus. Apple Music documents his albums, singles and recent 2026 releases, while his SoundCloud and official Linktree carry mixes and current artist channels. The project’s reach extends from the United States to Europe, Australia and Indonesia, with Ibiza repeatedly appearing as part of the route. Joeski remains both a working DJ and a hands-on label steward, using Maya as a platform for his own records and for the community around his sound.
