@josephcapriati is DJ Mag North America’s June 2024 cover star 💫
Joseph Capriati is considered one of the world’s foremost techno technicians — but the veteran artist is much more than that, with the sounds of deep house, tech-house and more running through his sets and productions.
Emboldened a newfound creative energy and sense of musical freedom, he’s as happy as he’s ever been — but if it wasn’t for a twist of fate, he wouldn’t have a career at all, as he explains to DJ Mag's Bruce Tantum.

Glitterbox is releasing an album to raise funds for Kathy Brown's chosen cancer charity, Macmillan Cancer Support.
The 19-track compilation, titled 'Legacy', collects numerous classics from Brown's repertoire, alongside four new remixes and edits from "leading house, disco, funk and soul producers" including Michael Gray, DJ Spen and Sophie Lloyd. Among the tracks included are Soul Central's ‘Strings Of Life (Stronger On My Own)’ and 'Joy', which made it to number four on the US Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart in 1999.
The legendary house vocalist was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer, which has since spread to her brain, late last year. A GoFundMe has since been set up by Brown's daughter Chanta Joyner.
