THINGS IN OUR HEADPHONES with JUANCHOOO

For this months THINGS IN OUR HEADPHONES we tapped a long time homie and DJ, JUANCHOO to curate the playlist and speak to his journey in music.

JUANCHOOO: This song selection are a few of the songs that I play at my sets—others are purely nostalgic or have been an influence in my pursuit of becoming an artist.

Music has always been my constant companion, my unconditional friend. From classical symphonies to rock, salsa, sob rock, alternative, and country, each genre has shaped a part of who I am. But house music it’s an experience all its own. It takes me through emotion, rhythm, and connection.

Growing up, I chased adrenaline on the soccer field, playing competitively through college. These days, house music gives me that same rush, that same pulse of energy and purpose.

My path as a DJ and producer took a serious turn in Miami, where I was swept up by the city’s electric house scene and its hypnotic atmosphere. Since then, I’ve been hooked on the power of sound - the ability to move minds, stir emotions, and create pure moments of joy.

Today, I channel that passion as the admin of Calle 404, a rising record label and house music events collective built on community, rhythm, and the art of the experience.
