- Josh Andres, known by his stage name STATIK LNK (formally Statik Link), is an American DJ, multi-instrumentalist, music producer, and songwriter. STATIK LNK produces sample packs and beats within the hip-hop genre. His music has been classified as a combination of jazz, hip-hop, soul music, and electro-funk sounds. As a producer and DJ, he defies genre norms by fusing together the sounds of jazz, soul, funk, electronic music, and hip-hop. STATIK LNK lists his primary influences as the music of Dr. Dre, Alchemist (musician), Robert Glasper, John Coltrane, J Dilla, Madlib, Miles Davis, and BadBadNotGood. STATIK LNK was once an electronic duo. On December 2, 2016, STATIK LNK announced via their Facebook page that a long-time member, Dan Dwyer, was leaving the group. On January 6, 2020, Statik Link announced via Facebook post that he was changing his name from Statik Link to STATIK LNK. His reason for doing so is to "separate my old style (EDM, Trap, Dance) from new style (Jazzy, Soulful, Live Instrumentation) on Spotify, Apple Music, and Tidal. I'd like to remove a lot of my older music, but it's owned by smaller labels and am unable to take it off of my current Statik Link profile hence the new name. (16)" (en)
