🔊 Joe Carter – Soulful House & Sunshine Vibes Joe Carter takes crowds on a sun-drenched journey through the most melodic corners of house music. Blending soulful grooves, jazzy instrumentals, and disco-infused rhythms, his sets evoke summer rooftops, poolside cocktails, and open-air garden parties — wherever you are. With deep roots in Soul, Disco, R&B, and Jazz, Joe crafts a unique vibe that fuses Latin loops, floor-filling disco, and warm, melodic house into an uplifting, feel-good experience. Known for his charisma and crowd connection, Joe doesn’t just play – he performs, bringing people together through music and energy. 🎶 Highlights Festivals: Glastonbury, Bestival, Electric Picnic, Leestock, ONBlackheath London Venues: SUSHISAMBA, The Ned, The Shard Genres: Melodic House, Soulful House, Disco House, Jazz & Latin-infused sets Influences: Soul, Jazz, Disco, R&B – fused into deep, sun-kissed house sets Performance Style: Energetic, engaging, crowd-focused 🎤 More Than a DJ A seasoned singer/songwriter/guitarist and radio producer, Joe brings a musician’s ear and a sound engineer’s precision to every set. His work in live broadcasting and stage hosting gives him an edge few DJs have – real experience curating atmosphere and flow, both technically and emotionally. Joe is currently working on original releases, with new music set to drop later this year.
