Earth People is the moniker of DJ and producer Pal Joey (Joseph Longo), a pioneering figure in New York’s underground house scene. Active since the late 1980s, Earth People became renowned for the classic 1990 track “Dance,” an enduring anthem that captures the raw, soulful energy of early house music. Blending deep grooves, jazzy undertones, and stripped-down rhythm, Earth People’s sound reflects Pal Joey’s innovative approach to production—bridging club culture and artistry while inspiring generations of house producers worldwide.
