Don't worry about Josh Wink — he's not going away any time soon. The Philadelphia-based electronic music pioneer has remained a blinking blip on the ever-shifting sonar screen of big-room dance sound enthusiasts for more than a decade now. From his emergence as a live-recording college favorite in the early '90s to his more recent minimalist house tracks, Wink's standing on some pretty solid ground. His latest album, Profound Sounds: Vol. 3, dropped this past May. While the album's a bit disappointing in its extreme reductiveness, Wink's own mix of Radiohead's "Everything In Its Right Place" is as great as its source material. Nonetheless Wink's live performances showcase his timeless talent for crowd pleasing and span the range of micro-trends within trance, techno, and house.

Josh Wink joins Ralph Falcon at 11 p.m. Sunday, June 11, at Mansion, 1235 Washington Ave., Miami Beach. Tickets cost $20 in advance. Call 305-532-1525, or visit www.wantickets.com.
