their own biography
the whole biography
Willy Soul is a Brooklyn-based producer, DJ, MC, and music curator known for his signature blend of funk-driven energy, global underground knowledge, and dancefloor storytelling. A central figure in both NYC nightlife and the global roller-skating scene, he has held residencies at Good Room and Public Records, alongside his long-running warehouse series Funky Seshwa. He also serves as Music Director, curator, and resident DJ for Flipper’s Roller Boogie Palace at Rockefeller Center, Xanadu Roller Arts in Bushwick, and Europe’s flagship skate festival, Skate Love Barcelona—shaping the sound and spirit of every space he touches. In 2025, he joined Louie Vega’s Funki Cadets producer collective on Vega Records, debuting with their collaboration “Feelin’ Good Tonight.” His next project, NY/CDMX, with Mexican electronic artist Pahua, is set for release on TheJazzDiaries in Summer 2026. Hard to pin down, Willy is a seasoned selector with a deep affinity for diverse sounds and movements, moving fluidly from psychedelic, Latin, and Far East selections to jazz, minimal, and peak-time dancefloor cuts. Willy has toured internationally, playing everything from gritty warehouse parties in NYC and Detroit to historic theaters in Ibiza, skate jams along the coast of Portugal, beaches in Naples, and major global platforms like Amsterdam Dance Event and Miami Music Week. He has shared the stage with icons including Kaytranada, Moodymann, Louie Vega, and DJ Harvey. A fixture in the world’s leading hi-fi listening bars—Dante’s HiFi (Miami), Brilliant Corners (London), Public Records (NYC), and Sans Soleil (Montréal—he is widely recognized as a trusted record digger with a deep love for jazz, Latin, Afro, and dance music roots, extending into forward-thinking sounds.Deep House on 2, House on 2, Funk on 2 and Disco on 1. styles on their catalogued releasesReleased on Funky Seshwa Records (1), Studio 54 Music (1) and Vega Records (1). labels on their catalogued releasesRecently at MAD Radio NYC, H0L0, Xanadu · often with O.BEE, Tomas Station, Rasho, none of them here that night
