Artist Statment: "With a strong respect for the up-tempo British Modern Soul Scene of the late 1970's and the House Music movement of the Paradise Garage, I find myself carrying a historic torch and up-most discipline for playing all things up-tempo, quality, and most of all Soulful." JJ Lopez aka Soul Boy '74. Bio: JJ Lopez aka Soul Boy '74 has been a Disc Jockey since 1995. He has played on the Texas Soul and House Music scene, consistently for the last 12 years. With a strong ever-present knowledge of 70's Soul, Jazz, Disco and Garage, his DJ sets are always an uplifting history lesson. His mastery of replicating traditional DJ techniques of the 1970's allow him and the dancer to fully experience what it was like to dance to a true Soul or Disco DJ of that era.
