This week on TruSouL Radio, we sit down with Eric Groove — Bay Area DJ, promoter, percussionist, and co-founder of the About the Music (ATM) collective. Known for blending deep reggae roots with driving percussion, Eric has been a key force in shaping the Bay Area’s house music culture for decades.

As one of the creators behind the legendary Back Yard Boogie, Eric shares stories from the dancefloor, the roots of community-driven parties, and the intention behind building spaces where music, culture, and connection come first. We go deep into his journey, the philosophy of ATM, and what it takes to keep the soul of the scene alive.

For Part One of this special TruSouL Radio conversation, JoJo Torres sits down with Cody “Coflo” Ferreira to explore the roots of an artist shaped by movement, culture, and community.
Before the releases, the labels, and the global recognition—there was dance.
In this opening chapter, Coflo takes us back to his early influences: growing up immersed in music, discovering American house dance at a young age, sneaking into clubs, and finding identity, freedom, and belonging on the dance floor. We talk about how house music first became personal, how Capoeira and movement shaped his relationship to sound, and how the underground became his classroom.

In Part Two, we’ll dive deeper into production, releases, label work, and the projects that helped shape Coflo’s legacy in house music so be on the look out for it to drop
