Josh Wink Unveils Eclectic “Selects Playlist” on Apple Music

Electronic music pioneer Josh Wink has released his new Selects Playlist on Apple Music, a deeply personal and wide-ranging collection of tracks that shaped his musical foundation. The playlist features 67 tracks that soundtracked Wink’s life during his early teenage years and early 20s, including classics from Kraftwerk, Public Enemy, and Chicago house legends like Phuture and Adonis.

The playlist is a sonic collage of Wink’s early influences, moving effortlessly from early electronic innovators like 808 State and Jean-Michel Jarre to post-punk and industrial classics from Siouxsie and the Banshees and Cabaret Voltaire. It also features genre-bending tracks from Herbie Hancock, Afrika Bambaataa, and Grace Jones, showcasing Wink’s early openness to sounds that were futuristic, funky, and confrontational.

The playlist serves as a reminder that innovation begins with open ears, bold curiosity, and a willingness to explore the unexpected. As Wink celebrates the 30-year legacy of his own transformative releases, his Selects Playlist offers fans an intimate look at the tracks that quietly fueled his imagination, ambition, and artistic voice. You can listen to the playlist now on Apple Music.
