Hook The Captain

Hailing from Washington, DC, Justin Katz is a true pioneer of tight house grooves, downtempo beats and killer song productions of all styles. From breaks to progressive or tech house, to tribal, to trip hop, to drum and bass, to straight up pop, the captain has been acclaimed in nearly every genre to date both for his original recordings and his re-mixing capabilities. Drawing on a love for warm ambient sounds, dope disco, funky tribal beats, epic melodies, and tweaked out human voices, there is little question why this master of the hook is probably the most talented new producer in Washington D.C. With his recent debut on 'Oakenfold Presents' and a cache of amazing pop/house tracks, JPunch, aka hook the captain (Justin Katz) is rapidly emerging as one of the brightest stars on the scene. The captain has released tracks on major dance labels all over the world, including everything from Global Underground, to Ministry of Sound, alongside artists like BT, Underworld, Sasha, Sinead O Connor, and more. Not only a force in the mainstream, the captain's music also remains pervasive throughout the underground.
