Mixing it up: new school Pittsburgh techno promoters Longturn Music team up with mid-90s/early-00s club crew Atomic to produce Atomic’s 25 Year Anniversary featuring the return of EDM icon Josh Wink

 
The city of Pittsburgh is in for a monumental night of electronic music as the renowned DJ and producer Josh Wink, representing the legendary Ovum Recordings, takes the stage at Spirit to headline the Atomic 25 Year Anniversary on Friday, September 29, 2023. Presented by Longturn Music, House of Styles and 5 Star Productions, the event promises to be a mesmerizing journey through the finest sounds of house, techno, breakbeats & more accompanied by the exceptional talent of Atomic resident DJs Product 19, B.Dee, 7UP & Zemo.

With a career spanning nearly 35 years, Wink (Josh Winkelman) has consistently pushed the boundaries of electronic soundscapes, producing chart-topping hits and captivating audiences worldwide. From his seminal releases like "Higher State of Consciousness", “Don’t Laugh” and ‘’Are You There…’’ to his more recent works on labels such as Drumcode, Rekids and his own imprint Ovum Recordings to remixing acts including Depeche Mode, Radiohead and Moby to running a music production school in Ibiza, Wink's artistry continues leaving indelible marks on the global dance music scene.

The Atomic 25 Year Anniversary celebration is a momentous occasion that pays homage to the groundbreaking club night at the legendary Metropol (R.I.P.) started by rave promoter House of Styles founder John Bromage (DJ Product 19) and club night promoter 5 Star Productions’ Dave Sanchez (DJ 7UP) and Rob Grega (Zemo). Starting in the summer of 1998, the long-running Thursday weekly that spanned genres including house, techno, breakbeats, trance & more was the first in Pittsburgh to consistently host the finest international, national and local talent including heavyweights Carl Cox, Derrick May, Christian Smith, Dave Angel, Mr. C, DJ Dan, Dieselboy and Josh Wink himself.

"We are thrilled to partner with Longturn Music and have Josh headline our Atomic 25 Year Anniversary event," says Bromage. "His influence on the electronic music landscape is immeasurable, and he encompasses everything Atomic represented both musically and with the genuinely positive vibes he emanates when he performs. We can't wait to share this milestone celebration with both our fans from back then and the newer generation of electronic music enthusiasts who follow Longturn Music."

Wink first played Pittsburgh back in October 1993 for whom many consider the founder of the rave scene there, hardcore DJ/producer/visual artist Deadly Buda at an event called Algorhythm 1. He returned to play Atomic and only a handful of other times since, so this is a long overdue performance from one of the greatest DJ technicians known making this a can’t miss event.
