Michigan DJ Cloud 9, also known as Josh Halsel, brings decades of experience and the spirit of PLUR to every dance floor. His blend of Tech House, Bass House, and UK Garage is bouncy, driven by bass, and built to make people loosen up, dance, and have a good time.
Rooted in PLUR since 1996, Cloud 9 has built a career across festivals, underground raves, clubs around the country, and radio appearances on 104.5 and iHeartRadio. Backed by Detroit’s DYLA Recordings and shaped by the teachings of Detroit and Chicago legends, he brings a veteran’s feel for the crowd to every set.
From closing Rozland’s main stage in 2024 to bringing his sound to New Wave Festival’s main stage in Battle Creek, Cloud 9 keeps the focus on connection, movement, and a shared good time.
Peace, love, unity, and respect are at the heart of it all. Whether he’s deep in an underground room or taking a festival crowd into the night, Cloud 9 is here to take you higher.
