Jojoflores has come a long way from his humble Montreal roots.
Today, House Music’s “Mixed Tape King” has achieved global reach, and is now a tireless ambassador of soulful dance music to every corner of the world.
In addition to being one of the genre’s most respected DJ’s;
Jojoflores is also CEO of Gotsoul Records and founder of the infamous Therapy soirees – now enjoyed in 7 cities worldwide from Cape Town to San Francisco and Toronto. Along the way, he’s found time to open up a club, own a record shop, and produce numerous records and CD’s.
Jojoflores’ reputation for rocking a dance floor has rewarded him with multiple residencies at famed clubs world-wide, including New York City’s Cielo; Nikki Beach Miami; Deep in Los Angeles; Lotus in Hawaii; along with venues in Melbourne, Dubai, Brazil, Santorini & Athens. He was voted “Best International DJ” 4 years running by NYC’s Undaground Archives.
His dedication and hard work have also garnered him a corporate client list which includes MAC Cosmetics, Apple, Hugo Boss, Vanity Fair, Puma, Details Magazine, Banana Republic, Cadillac, and The Delano Hotel. He has headlined events with Wyclef Jean, Jody Watley, K-OS, Jazzy Jeff and not to mention he’s become D-Squared’s go-to DJ in Canada.
Jojoflores’ last visit to South Africa was nothing less than inspirational, dropping tracks that almost caused me collapse on the dance floor. Rocking a beautiful, intimate crowd with Deep House classics, re-edits and a remix of a Bjork hit, created a list of excited facebook friends, awaiting his return soon after.
Well, its now 2 years later, and its officially confirmed… Jojoflores is in the building! After been invited as a guest speaker, and international DJ for the Southern African Music Conference to be held in Joburg next month, this truly inspirational DJ will perform a mind-blowing 3 hour set on 24 June 2010 at a ‘cosy’ Cape Town’ venue to be disclosed, exclusive to ticket holders.
Peep this video to witness the fitness of Jojoflores, as he rocked Toronto with fellow DJ and world famous producer Dennis Ferrer at The century Room just last week.

As per usual we back its the first saturday of the month and we back to bring contemporary and future house madness to the floor. Featuring what i consider musical house brands to all things musical. This month is somewhat special though we have Craig De Sousa as our musical guest .
He is doing his official cd launch with Soul Revolution at Deluxe and supported by Leighton Moody & Erefaan Pearce.
After the successful Everything double cd release, Craig De Sousa turned his attention to focusing on his dance group the Iridium Project and has enjoyed radio success with chart topping hits like “Lu’s Control” and “Which Way To Go”. The group toured SA extensively and even made it as far as Russia.
All this time he has secretly been plotting his 7th DJ mix. Craig has always wanted to create an annual concept but up until now has not found a record label brave enough to trust his foresight. So with the birth of Autograph a brand new label founded by fellow DJ Coco Loco, the time was finally right to introduce Audio Flux, the 1st release on Autograph.
By definition Audio Flux is the amount of audio that flows through a unit area. So aptly named 2009 is the first year in this series of annuals. Craig’s aim is to capture the greatest moments of each year in a live DJ mix, pioneering the new territory of dance and introducing the latest trends and genres.
Look forward to see y’all there.
We wrote it we played it we are Soul Revolution.
