Joy Wellboy is celebrating their wedding on the 4th of May

‘I’m waiting for you’ is the 1st single taken from Joy Wellboy’s forthcoming full album ‘WEDDING’, that will be released on Bpitch Control (Ellen Allien's label that launched the careers of artists such as Modeselektor, Apparat, Paul Kalkbrenner etc) on May 4th.

Joy Adegoke and Wim Janssens are partners, in crime, in music and in life. Since 2009 the pair has performed as Joy Wellboy, singing, strumming and sharing their love. They write their first songs together in Brussels, their hometown. The label boss of Bpitch Control- Ellen Allien- gets to see some of their video's and contacts Joy Wellboy. A few days later they meet in Berlin. Their energies match and they start to work together.

Back in Brussels they record and finish the songs for their first album. After the recordings they decide to move to Berlin, to work closely with the label. In sept 2013 they release their debut album " Yorokobi's Mantra" on Bpitch Control .

The album gets raving reviews:

• "...The Belgian duo make an alluringly offbeat back-porch electro-pop with enough space inside for romantic aches and random mistakes. Not quite dance music, not quite euro pop, not quite indie electronica..sublime! "(Uncut 8/10)
• "...Quite simply, this is one of the most starburstingly brilliant albums i've heard for years...there is something really special going on here, which any berserk fan of pop music, from the Shangri-Las to synth pop, could well find captures their too." (Datatransmission UK 9/10)
• "....It's a seriously cool chilled affair...a quality shagger's apology in the form of euro pop gold...this is a fantastic genre transcending album that merges electro, pop, lofi and everything in-between. Amazing!" (Sportsweek (UK )Album of the week 5 stars)
• "....It's an album of dark new-wave anthems, uplifting postkraut and shadowy synth song smithery that's pretty damn faultless". (Dj mag 9,5/10)

In june 2014 Joy Wellboy releases a new EP. Their forthcoming full album "Wedding" will be released May 4th on Bpitch Control.
