Cookee – DJ | Producer | Bass Archaeologist
Justin Cookee is a DJ, producer and lifelong vinyl collector driven by one constant: bass and groove. From discovering 7-inch records in the late 70s to igniting dancefloors today, Cookee has spent decades digging deep into the sounds that move people.
After learning to mix in friends’ bedrooms in 1990 and playing live bass in bands through the early 90s, he developed a style blending musicianship with DJ craft. Influenced by London’s underground house scene, he has been whipping up dancefloors since 1999 with energetic, groove led sets.
Cookee founded Back2LifeSessions, an online radio channel that ran for 10 years, broadcasting 1500+ shows and attracting 600k+ listens worldwide especially during lockdown.
He also hosts the Bass Archaeology podcast, exploring the records and basslines shaping music culture.
His sets span house, hip-hop, drum & bass, funk, soul and jazz, and he has played festivals including Mucky Weekender and GIVE.
