Lobby Nights with Justin Strauss

Justin Strauss’ power pop band Milk ‘N’ Cookies was signed to Island Records when he was 17, but he’s best known as a DJ and producer. Starting his DJ career three decades ago in 1980 at NYC’s Mudd Club, he has since established his own distinctive sound and become a sought-after remixer and producer, working with, among others, Depeche Mode, Sergio Mendez, Tina Turner, Jimmy Cliff, the B-52s, Luther Vandross, Malcolm McClaren, Skinny Puppy, and Goldfrapp, and appearing on more than 200 records. As half of the production duos, Whatever/Whatever and A/JUS/TED, he continues to produce and mix records, working on remixes for the likes of Hot Chip, William Onyeabor, LCD Soundsystem, Blood Orange, Holy Ghost!, and Beyoncé, and touring internationally as a DJ.
