Hey Tocadisco fam… We’re back for another vinyl party . With your residents Hektor Perez and Nesto Fuentez as they dig thru their crates of vinyl from classics to old and new . We invite you to join us this September with special guests Julius Papp and Geo Stasi . This event is a free event with donations accepted. About Julius
Julius Papp is one whose dedication to music has propelled his career as a
DJ and producer in the dance/club music scene. His dance music roots lie
in Disco of the 70’s and New Wave of the 80’s. Presently living in San
Francisco, he was born and raised in Montreal, Canada, and got tuned into
dance music through the city’s flourishing club scene and diverse radio
broadcasts. He started collecting vinyl records in the mid 70’s and took to
the turntables in 1985, scoring his first official club gig two years later.
Hearing the non-stop flow of music and observing the booth where each DJ
seamlessly blended each selection were early influences for Julius. Later
influences included reading about DJ residencies that were piloted by
talented club music programmers that even today, influence the youngest
of aspiring DJs. Legends, like David Mancuso at The Loft & Larry Levan at
the Paradise Garage in New York City to Frankie Knuckles at The
Warehouse in Chicago and Tony Humphries’ weekly at Zanzibar in New
Jersey. Always sparked by any music listed in those articles, Julius would
shop for those titles that have become classics, worshipped by their
discerning audiences. To this day, his goal is to keep expanding his
foundation in music by being open-minded and eclectic in absorbing the
music that truly touches him.
That open-minded attitude is what Julius uses to fine-tune his musical palette, which gives him a dominant sound that exudes a deep and soulful perspective. That dominant sound is (Soulful) House Music – which to him,
is about an uplifting positive message. People coming together in unity,with no barriers or restrictions in the spirit of music, unifying everyone on the dance-floor. That being said, he blends various music styles together -
including Soul, Latin, Afro, Disco, Jazz and Electronic sounds with such fluidity, that it is challenging at times to put a defining stamp on his sound.
Contributing to that is his willingness to take a chance. He always tries to push the envelope by introducing music that deserves exposure, taking his audience on a musical journey with various mood and energy changes. Not content to limiting his ambitions in the DJ booth, Julius began producing music in 1994. The studio was another outlet for Julius’ creative ideas to flow.
