What is Luxury Soul?

  Hand picked modern soul spanning the entire modern soul era from 1970 'til now, with a lean towards the underplayed, uncovered and newly discovered soul gems for the discerning soul music enthusiast. We are familiar with the classics and limited commercial playlists. All great quality stuff but a little tiresome for progressive soul music lovers who remain unimpressed by most clubs and radio play in the USA. 

If you long for the vibe of the acid jazz era, where underground soul was constantly shared by djs, parties and performers, you'll dig Luxury Soul!  
Luxury Soul is for those who choose to dig deeper and want to get turned on to music they may not know or haven't heard in awhile. Beautiful soul music from 1970s soul to disco to boogie to acid jazz to cherry picked neo-soul from today.

It may be a Brief Encounter song from 1970, a Delegation gem from 1980, an Incognito groover from 1999 or a Raphael Saadiq cut from 2012, it's all part of the modern soul music continuum. If you are familiar with U.K. DJs Richard Searling, Steve Plumb, Gilles Petersen, Norman Jay, Ralph Tee, Keb Darge and others, you know exactly what we are talking about. Expect to hear B-sides, album cuts, ultra rare, medium rare and new soul mixed with underplayed favorites from the likes of Ace Spectrum-Atlantic Starr-George Benson-Blaze-Brand New Heavies-Brief Encounter-Broomfield-Keni Burke-Change-Collins & Collins-Cool Million- David Hudson-The Style Council-Lamont Dozier-Adriana Evans-John Legend-Curtis Mayfield-Maze-The McCrarys-Mica Paris-Jeff Perry-David Ruffin-Ann Sexton-Soul II Soul-Starpoint-Tavares-Tortured Soul-The Trammps and Leon Ware. Join us as we share, play and dance to the music we love...Luxury Soul...Keep The Fire Burning!

"The Revival" - Vol. 1 - Unmixed selections, compiled by Julius Papp & The Selecter DJ Kirk.

Julius Papp is one whose dedication to music has propelled his career as a producer and DJ 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 major 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, but rather, with tolerance and the spirit of music, unifying everyone on the dance-floor.  That being said, he blends various musical styles together - including Soul, Latin, Afro, Disco, Jazz and Electronic sounds with such fluidity, that it is difficult 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. His first release was a down-tempo project on the Acid Jazz tip.  He also drew attention as part of the jazz and funk scene in San Francisco via the Mushroom Jazz parties alongside creator and resident Mark Farina.
 
As Julius’s production catalogue grew, so did the amount of labels he released music on including – long tenured labels like “Nervous Records” (NYC), “King Street Sounds” (NYC), “Large Music” (Chicago) and “OM” (SF), to signings on “Soulfuric Recordings” (FL) and Kenny Dope’s “Dope Wax” (NYC) label, as well as Bob Sinclar’s  “Yellow Productions” in Paris. In 2018, Julius released his Phunk Odyssey EP on Miguel Migs’ “Salted Music” label. Co-hosting the long running Salted SF events with Migs, it was an honor to make his artist debut on the label.
 
He also ventured into the label arena with his own “NeoDisco Music” imprint.  Named after the sound that continues to inspire him – the small, independent label offers him an alternate outlet to release his own productions.

During the past 2 years through the pandemic, Julius has remained active with live DJ sets via virtual broadcasts while also returning to regular events in front of a welcoming dance-floor… Let The Music Play…
