Joh Erba moves fluidly between funk, jazz, afrobeat, house, and techno. Since his early radio work in 1992, he has carved out a singular voice as both a selector and a producer, releasing compilations on various labels that bridge modern soul and electronic jazz—works shaped by instinct and deep musical curiosity.
A long-time producer at Couleur 3, he’s the creative force behind Les Métissages since 2000, as well as Electro libre, Buena Onda, and Youkounkoune on RTS’s Option Musique. His talents also extend to television, where he creates sonic identities and theme music.
As a DJ, Joh has held residencies at the Montreux Jazz Café, Cully Jazz Festival, and MAD, and has performed in cities around the world—from New York’s Twilo and Paris’s Bataclan and Palais de Tokyo, to Pacha Ibiza and venues across Tokyo, London, Amsterdam, and beyond.
Some of his projects—including tributes to Philippe Zdar (Cassius) and Serge Gainsbourg—have been distributed by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), the world’s largest alliance of public service media.
