ABOUT PACO

“A genuine good guy…A great DJ and great, positive person…A truly positive dude.”

These and many other quotes like those are what people who have been touched by Paco aka Ben Jennings IV (aka DJ Melodic) express when they think of the person, the DJ, friend. His gentle and positive spirit has touched many. His humility is unmatched.

Paco came to Soular Grooves and entered the Houston DJ community with the same genuine positive spirit and humility that so many describe about him. He learned as much as he could about DJing from as many as he could and applied those characteristics to his vast knowledge of music, to become one of the most respected, well-liked, and precision-like DJs in Houston.

His aesthetic is unique and contributes to creating an uncompromising signature of sounds that have no match. To listen to Paco, DJ Melodic, as he DJs, is to be taken on a course of great music that blends together seamlessly and continuously. All his selections, he intuitively knows, belong together. It is a truly joyful experience to listen to him and watch him perform.
