Artist Statment: "With a strong, ever present 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.
