DJ Planet Express is the moniker of Toronto based electronic artist/producer Joseph Manzoli. A veteran of the Toronto and New York indie scenes where he split time and has played parts in projects ginla, Katie McBride, Adrianne Lenker and with Nick Hakim. His body of work has been rapidly expanding with a steady stream of releases. While initially gaining traction in the lofi house scene in 2018, the artist's sound has aggressively evolved pulling from elements from the seminal electronic music genres of the past such as jungle, house, footwerk, juke, ambient, techno, drum & bass and more. DJ Planet Express’ debut EP 2018’s “Always and Forever Down For Whatever'' quickly turned a lot heads after exploding within the SoundCloud and YouTube lo-fi house communities. Now having been streamed over 5 million times and known for its tasteful use of vocal samples and bouncy dance grooves, the EP achieved a rare combination of being club ready and nostalgic. Manzoli started the label/collective, No Content in 2019 with long-time collaborator Jonathan Nellen. Initially started as a means of tying together the pair's widely varying projects under one umbrella it quickly began developing its own buzz attracting other artists especially locally in Toronto now having over 20 releases out.
