Dreas is part of crew of talented DJs and diggers out of the Chicago area.  He is host of Grand Rapids Soul Club, a DJ night that focuses on lost 70s and 80s modern soul groovers.

Bad! (70s SoulJazz Mixtape)

Here's my 3 hour set from the House In The Park Weekend Festival in Atlanta, GA (Sunday 8-31-25). I was specifically asked to play HITP's second annual Disco Stage which seemed like a huge reprieve from their normal House Music programming. While these are tracks that are heard and played often, and some might even deem played out, I can honestly say the energy in the tent was something special. It was jam packed with no phones present, everyone moving in unison and RESPONDING to the music and all of its explosive nuances, one big rollercoaster ride. The entire experience reminded me of why I fell in love with spinning records and going to clubs as a teen. Satisfy your soul and enjoy!
