He’s rapidly becoming one of the most sought after sounds in the industry.

It was Acid House in 1988 that got Joti hooked on electronic dance music. It was also the same year that he started djing in bars and clubs around Brighton in the UK at the tender age of 17.

His first international gig was in Paris in September 1990, at “Fort de Champigny” with D-Shake and other headlining acts of the time.

It was shortly after this that Joti embarked on the next natural step, making music.

Enter the Legendary Atari Computer, built in MIDI, rock solid timing and the original Steinberg Cubase Sequencing software. A marriage that would take Jotis understanding of electronic music to a new level.

In 1992 he was taken under the wing of Dave Allen (most recognised as Producer of The Cure from 1985) and Andy Wright (Production on Massive Attack, Dave Stuart, Eurythymics) working as a programmer and given the job title “Groove Consultant”, he worked with various acts such as Gianna Nannini , The Commitments, The Human League (Producer Mark “Spike” Stent). Programming sessions in top studios such as The Hit Factory, Rak and Olympic to name but a few.

Around this time he started getting seriously into the London underground party scene and eventually one day with friends in 1993 found himself at an exclusive outdoor party at a remote quarry in West London, put on by a record company called Dragonfly.

This was where Joti first got his taste of the Psychedelic sound. Mike Maguire (Juno Reactor) and Serge Souque (Total Eclipse, Antidote) were doing their legendary dj double act and Joti was hooked.

Here he met Dino Psaras and Steve Ronan. They went straight to Jotis studio after the party and Ayahuasca was born!!!

The first releases of Ayahuasca were on “A Concept in Dance”, XL Records, one of the first Psytrance compilations. Ayahuasca also released on Dragonfly Records and followed up these releases with a remix of Paul Oakenfolds “Rise” on Perfecto Records.

After leaving Ayahuasca Joti started his solo act PSYCHAOS, (which was the first time anyone used the PSY term in the scene), whose first legendary release Psychaos “Psychaos” was on the second Concept in Dance entitled “Tribal Science” released in 1995.

This was when his sound and Psychaos became extremely popular around the globe playing at weird and wonderful places from Guadeloupe, French Caribbean, to Nevada Deserts “The Burning Man Festival”, from Castles in France and Yugoslavia, Ancient Ruins in Greece, Mount Fuji in Japan, to Expo Portugal in Lisbon, Summer ski resorts in the mountains of Switzerland to the clubby well trodden winter circuits of Europe and quite a few places in between.

In 1998, with the setting up of Atomic Records in Brighton UK, and Psychaos as its first release, Joti soon became one of the top selling acts, and has certainly carved his distinctive style into the music and the scene, releasing such tracks as ; “Intellect” (TIP), “Perception of Reality” (ACID), “Chaos to Order” (Transient), “Creative Anomaly” (Atomic) to name but afew. Joti also enjoys collaborating with other artists and friends with tracks such as ; “Science Fiction” with Ben Watkins (Juno Reaktor, ‘The Matrix’), “Outer Breath” Aztec (Atomic), “1000 Planets” with Paul Jackson (Dragonfly), “Dodgy Connection” with Tim Schuldt. To name afew of the oldies…

In 1999 Joti released his solo album Psychaos “Cause and Effect” on Atomic records. This was followed by a string of releases such as the “Techno Logical” 12″ and “Docklands State of Mind Vol2” (Docklands Records, Sweden), “Creative Anomaly” on Kiss The Future (Atomic Records).

After the closing of Atomic Records late 2001 Joti started working closer with Neurobioic Records, Italy, managed and owned by Dj Edoardo Marvaso.

In the last few years Joti has “put himself back to school”, redefined his sound and technique and dropped the PSYCHAOS name as the whole PSY thing seemed to be wearing thin….he finished his second album , which sees joti taking a cleaner slicker production line under the guise of “JOTI SIDHU” calling the album “PUNKTUATOR” and the release being on Neurobiotic records in 2003.

In 2006 Joti left the UK and moved to Ibiza…..which had seen another change in direction in his third album, JOTI SIDHU – “NEW SENSATIONS”, that features 8 tracks and two bonus remix tracks by Shanti Matkin and PTX (Patrick Chen).

Now Joti has moved back to London he has returned to the studio and perhaps back to his older concepts of trance and techno and has married them into his new album “ORDER TO CHAOS” due for release on the 8th of October 2010. A new 2 track ep sampler of the album was released in August on Neurobiotic available on Beatport.

With the new album finished, Joti has started Screenagers, which is a collaboration between himself and Neurobiotic label manager Edoardo Marvaso.

The track Screenagers on the new album Order to Chaos is the title track for their new act. They are now busy in the studio creating their new sound and live act, along with a large list of remixes, and their first album will be released some time in the future on Neurobiotic!

In 2011, Joti joined MANDALA Records

based in France with Total Eclipse,
