Josh Wink's 20/20 Acid Vision Brings Him to London

Philadelphia house legend Josh Wink is launching a UK branch of his acclaimed record label Ovum Recordings, kicking off with 20 to 20, an acid house collection he released in The States at the end of the last year.

The album sees him returning to the floor-filling style with which he achieved massive chart success with in 1995, with tracks like Size 9's I Am Ready and Higher State Of Consciousness, before turning his back on the style soon after.

"After the success of 'Higher State', 'Don't Laugh and 'Size 9' I really felt I needed to move away from the press, so I travelled overseas and went underground again; I didn't want to make music that sounded like that again and again, just to please people."" Josh told Skrufff last September.

"I've learned from my experiences and more importantly I've learned to trust my instincts," he continued.

"If something doesn't feel right, I won't do it, and largely I have been proved right. Ultimately though, I don't have plans for world domination, I only intend to continue making music that I find interesting, challenging, whilst still keeping my integrity and enjoying the whole process."
