ABOUT

We are proud and excited to host An intimate Night with The Whooligan, a DJ who is no stranger to Cape Town. He has been a friend of the show and the city since first gracing our shores in 2015.

Julio Galvez is a music lover, world traveler, community organizer and entrepreneur. Known by his stage name, The Whooligan, he has over 15 years of performance experience as a globally-recognized artist and curator of music. From 2013 - 2018, he also served as the Director of Worldwide Bookings and Partnerships for Los Angeles based music collective, Soulection. Now, The Whooligan is focusing his time outside of his demanding show tour schedule to build on his newly formed humanitarian organization, Room Service International. Room Service aims to give back to underserved regions all over the world by activating community service projects that bring about change, all through the power of music. The seasoned artist, tastemaker and humanitarian brings a unique perspective to the music industry through service, open-mindedness and inherent positivity. As a celebrated bookings specialist and world class DJ, Julio has produced, managed and or performed in 30+ domestic and international tours, as well as countless one-off events, reaching 6 continents and over 100 cities. His relentless work ethic, insatiable curiosity for travel and undeniable love of bringing people together has fostered a community in celebration of progressive-underground dance music, diversity and exploration.

As a trusted source of insight and groundbreaking music across the globe, The Whooligan’s zest for life, ability to identify new music and creative culture first, has led him to collaborations with brands including MTV, VICE, Global Citizen, Red Bull, Soundcloud, Def Jam Records, NIKE, PUMA, K-Swiss, Brooklyn Circus & Daily Paper. As a multifaceted and genre-bending artist, he’s also shared the stage with the likes of the late Mac Miller, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Kenny Dope, Just Blaze, DJ A-Trak, Mark Farina, Tokimonsta, The Internet, Little Dragon, De La Soul and Kaytranada. The Whooligan has also received press mentions from Billboard Magazine, Los Angeles Times, MISSBISH, MIC, Forbes, TheGuardian, MIXMAG, HYPEBEAST & more.

The Whooligan’s live DJ performances permeate an eclectic, stylistic mix of internationally influenced progressive soul, funky house, disco and feel good hip hop that will mirror the energy of the crowd, his love for people and his intimate connection with the world and travel. Whether blending two records in a unique fashion or working closely to cultivate next level talent, the common thread is his ability to see beauty in all.

The Whooligan currently resides in Brooklyn, New York.
