Joe Claussell is one of today"s hottest producers & DJ"s, especially familiar to those who have had the opportunity to attend a night at New York"s legendary Body & Soul where Joe is a resident. Being involved in both Dancetracks, another of New York"s musical institutions & being solely responsible for the prolific label Spiritual Life Music, Joe"s activities reflect his musical influences from rock & pop to African & Latin & are clearly demonstrated in the innovative & danceable tracks he produces. BBE & Urban Theory are proud to present Joe Claussell & an album which illustrates an evening with him & which shows the listener that he is more than just a house DJ. ‘A Reason to Celebrate" stretches boundaries by presenting us with a diverse number of tracks from Ronny Jordan & War to the hispanic genius of Jorge Ben & Hector Lavoe.
