15+ years behind the sound
Producing, engineering, mixing, and building a catalog across lo-fi, house, garage, jungle, drum and bass, and left-field electronic music.
About Broey.
A Real Sound Guy.
Lo-fi roots. Club instincts. Electronic music from Scranton, Pennsylvania.
Broey is the electronic project of Joe Montaro, a Scranton, Pennsylvania artist, producer, audio engineer, and self-taught multi-instrumentalist. His work moves between live instrumentation, sampling, synthesis, sequencing, and hands-on production.
Sound in the technical sense, and sound in the human one.
Producer story
How the sound got here
Broey started with dusty chords, clipped drums, warped samples, warm noise, and self-produced records.
The early records centered on lo-fi, chillhop, and beat-driven production.
Based in the Scranton area, Joe has spent more than 15 years producing, engineering, and shaping his own sound. The catalog has moved through streaming releases, select label partnerships, vinyl runs, physical moments, and editorial support while staying self-directed at the center.
Releases like Fragments, 4u, Mean Something, dancing dumpster fire, STEREO LUV, blu., and FREE show the current Broey catalog in plain terms: singles, EPs, remixes, and club-focused tracks.
