Description
James Juke and Willy Soul come together for the first time for a night that'll be unequivocally jazzy, soulful, and genre-spanning. They have a knack for music that's deeply musical, yet highly effective in the club. You can expect them to dig deep into their crates for this one.
Willy Soul is a Brooklyn-based producer, DJ, MC, and music curator known for his signature blend of funk-driven energy, global underground knowledge, and dancefloor storytelling. A central figure in both NYC nightlife and the global roller-skating scene, he has held residencies at Good Room and Public Records, alongside his long-running warehouse series Funky Seshwa. He also serves as Music Director, curator, and resident DJ for Flipper’s Roller Boogie Palace at Rockefeller Center, Xanadu Roller Arts in Bushwick, and Europe’s flagship skate festival, Skate Love Barcelona—shaping the sound and spirit of every space he touches.Hey Laila, confirming that this party will be: James Juke + Willy Soul
A year abroad in Buenos Aires at 19 was his introduction to clubs. In the span of a month, sets from Folamour, Honey Dijon, and Dusky made it clear house music had infinite flavors and forms, and that understanding them was going to take time. Rooted in disco, soul, and the sampling lineage that connects early house to hip-hop, his sets move through jackin' vocal-driven grooves and raw, hypnotic tech house.
He taught himself production alone during the pandemic, spent months getting feedback from Demuir, and that obsession has led to releases on Nervous, Robsoul, and Rek'd. He eventually released on Dusky’s label and received non-stop support from Folamour on his standout, “Vital Organ”. Along the way, he’s shared the decks with legends like Mike Dunn, Inland Knights, and Dam Swindle and hosted NY’s best: Dee Diggs, Kim Anh, Devoye, Cosmo, and MomaReady for his party, The Jukeboxx. None of it was planned. It still isn't. And that's the point.

Jupiter Disco is a safe space for all. Our most important goal is to ensure everyone who steps into our space feels welcome and safe. In order to achieve this goal, it's mission critical that everyone approaches each other with respect. That means everyone.
We are passionate about bringing people together and building connections between participants in and adjacent to our community. Go ahead and say hi to someone new while you're here with us!
If you see or experience anything that makes you feel uncomfortable, please alert one of our team members and we will coordinate a resolution immediately.
We encourage everyone to be present and interface with the physical elements around you while you're with us, so we ask that you please limit your phone use throughout the space.
Phone screen and camera lights can also be distracting, so please be mindful of the brightness and the length of time you use those lights, if at all.
If you intend to smoke (anything), please take a break outside and take a few steps down the block. Don't worry, we always have re-entry.
