Our Traxsource LIVE! Sessions guest this week is DJ Pope. Chicago legend, DJ Pope has been DJing since 1979, playing everything from house to hip-hop, to reggae and R ‘n’ B. He got his first big break warming up for Frankie Knuckles in the early 80’s and has remained a prominent force on the house circuit ever since. His latest release ‘Loving You’ channels the many influences from his illustrious and long-lasting career. His 'Sound Of Baltimore' Vocal that opens the release is a stripped back and elegant house track that highlights Unqle Chriz’s soft and soulful tones.  Out on Soulfuric Recordings check it out!

He has found success on labels such as Quantize, and his own POJI Records and FunkHut Records.

Check out his latest show packed with the best of Soulful House featuring The Kings Of House, Mr V, Terry Hunter and More!
