Where to Start with Joe Stone
Three tracks that show Joe Stone's funk sense isn't dependent on viral samples or famous features.
The entry
"The Party (This Is How We Do It)" is the track to press play on first, every time. It's built around Montell Jordan's classic hook, it charted for Stone in the UK, Ireland and the Netherlands, and it sets up exactly what he does best. Taking something familiar and turning it into a dancefloor moment. From there, everything else makes sense.
The solo production
Once "The Party" has you on side, move to "Bug A Boo". This is pure Joe Stone without a big feature to lean on. Funk and disco worked into a contemporary house frame, relying entirely on his production instincts and his ear for arrangement. This is where his classical training, piano from age seven, shows most clearly. The track is tight, the samples are treated with care, and nothing feels accidental. This is his production speaking on its own terms.
The partnership
Now bring in the collaborations. "Do Me Right" with Anton Powers and Olivia Sebastianelli shows how Stone's sound holds up alongside another producer who works the same territory. It's the natural next step once you've got his solo material down. The two producers speak the same language, both moving through future house and funk, and their work together shows you how compatible his instincts are with another like-minded artist.
What happens next
From there, explore "Right Here" to round out his core catalogue, and then dive into his remix work and production collaborations with other artists. By then, you'll know his fingerprint well enough to spot it anywhere. The funk grooves, the disco samples, the classical arrangement sense, the hooks built for rooms not radios.
