Joel Dickinson (born July 7, 1979 in Des Moines, Iowa) is a remixer, electronic music producer, recording engineer and DJ based in Minneapolis, MN. He has worked for Junior Vasquez on a number of projects in recent years. He is a founding member of the remix team Audio Assembly (with Billy Waters and John Michael DiSpirito) who have produced for artists such as Katy Perry and Lady Gaga. He has also used the pseudonym Hell & Keller (with John Michael DiSpirito), who have produced for The Human League, Willow Smith and others. Until 2010, Joel was producing solo projects under the moniker, Thee Werq'n B!tches. His remix and subsequent video for Thee Werq'n B!tches ft. Faye Dunaway - "No Wire Hangers!" was given the title of "Gayest Thing on the Internet" by VH1's Best Week Ever[1] in 2008.

Many of his remixes and productions have attained Billboard Club charting status, including Eddie X ft. Niki Harris - "This Time Baby" (#5) and C+C Music Factory ft. Scarlett Santana - Rain (#8). His remix(es) of Dolly Parton's "9 to 5 (Dolly Parton song)" and Bette Davis' "I've Written a Letter to Daddy" (from "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?") are regarded as camp club classics and are played somewhere in the world every night to a rapturous response. A number of his productions have also attained cult status, including the Minneapolis house classic, Phreakshow, and his club remix of Liza Minnelli's Cabaret.
