“Futuristicsoulsexygalacticghettotechtronicboombap” is the only way to describe the beguiling musical potions of Julio “The Whooligan” Galvez. He is a musical chemist…concocting beats as a producer and experimenting with their reactive characteristics as a DJ. There are no test tubes and chemicals in this beat doctor’s lab; the tools of choice for his brand of science are an MPC and a wantonly obese record collection. His laboratory varies: one day he’s locked away in the studio composing musical Monet’s and collaborating with the world’s hottest artists; the next, he’s likely to be found spinning records, garnering media honors and leaving everyone salivating for more at any of the hottest venues around the country. 

What began as a pastime, listening to music and learning about different styles in his hometown in California’s East Bay, turned into a fascination. Like all great artists, that fascination soon morphed into a passion; the passion was honed into a skill and the rest is history. Today, The Whooligan is an intricate part of the Bay Area’s music scene and undeniable flair for his craft along with an impressive work ethic have quickly gained him fans and respect beyond his native soil, as demonstrated by his  #4 ranking in Music Culture Today Magazine’s Top 10 Favorite DJ Sets from the 2009 Winter Music Conference in Miami, FL.

A tastemaker is a trendsetter who influences what is popular or worthwhile. The same can be said of The Whooligan. “My goal is to uplift people and do my best at representing the music that I love," he explains. Whether on the turntables at the hottest clubs, events or national music conferences, or in his production element generating smooth, sample-laden beats, The Whooligan puts the same amount of verve and finesse into his craft and executes the roles of both DJ and Producer with flawless expertise. The beats and scratches in his sets are methodically engineered to keep crowds moving like the pistons of a well-oiled engine. He sets the tone for the party every time he spins, with masterfully chosen hits and a refreshingly original style.

Tours sponsored by industry powerhouses such as MTV, Myspace, Island Def Jam and Sony, and performing with artists such as Bugz In The Attic, Rick Ross, Lupe Fiasco, and Diplo, to name a few, have secured The Whooligan’s standing as one of the most hard-working and respected selectors on the West Coast. To witness The Whooligan in action on the turntables at a party or in a club is to be invited into his world for a musical journey that simultaneously entertains and enlightens, indulging the senses and issuing only one command, dance.

As a producer, versatility and seamless beat construction paired with a divine balance between organic talent and refined skill has proven to be a winning combination for The Whooligan. It’s no wonder that this founding force of the Sole Vibe & 40Love music collective is a decision maker on behalf of the entire crew. The versatility and maturity of his production are indicative of just how much fervor he puts into his work; each track a unique display of his creative prowess.

To date, the Whooligan has appeared as a DJ or producer on many projects, including: 40Love’s BANGERANG!, Keelay and Zaire’s Ridin’ High (MYX Label), and Mark Farina's  chart-topper: Mushroom Jazz, Vol. 6 (OM Records), in addition to his own recent mixtapes: The Star Gazers, First Time Again and Up Up and Away: The Spacetrumentals. The Whooligan is a proud member of the Sole Vibe, 40Love, The Park, Foreign Legion and OM Records families.
