From the vibrant rhythms of South Africa to the fast-paced creative ecosystem of London, GREATOREX is carving out a powerful identity in the global EDM landscape. In a recent conversation with Nexus Radio’s Frank at the Nexus Lounge, the producer—born Josh and affectionately known as GRX—opened up about collaboration, cultural roots, and the creative momentum driving his next chapter.
Now based in London, GREATOREX spoke about the importance of being physically present with collaborators. Creating music face-to-face, he explained, unlocks an energy that simply can’t be replicated remotely. Working alongside artists from around the world in one city has sharpened his sound and accelerated his growth, turning ideas into finished records with greater intention and impact.
Looking ahead, GREATOREX teased an upcoming release with Suaves and other DJs—a laid-back yet expressive track designed to close out the season. Describing his music through a playful metaphor, he compared it to a lamb curry: layered, flavorful, and just spicy enough to stand out. That balance of warmth and edge has become a defining characteristic of his productions.
Much of that flavor traces back to his roots. GREATOREX credits South Africa’s diverse and deeply creative music culture as a foundational influence, one he’s determined to spotlight on a global scale. His ambition isn’t just personal success—it’s about putting the South African sound on the map and honoring the genre-blending innovation that shaped him as an artist.
He also reflected on the moment he realized music was no longer just a passion, but a calling. Transitioning into life as a top-liner came with challenges, but a supportive team and strong management helped turn uncertainty into momentum. For GREATOREX, community and collaboration aren’t optional—they’re essential.
As the conversation wrapped, he hinted at more releases on the way, touching on influences ranging from UK dance to hyper-techno. With each track, GREATOREX continues to push boundaries while staying rooted in authenticity and cultural pride. Listen to the full interview below.
