DJ Butch Thomas: Soul Line Review
Norris Butch Thomas has been playing oldies and hosting dances since 1968. Butch attended Trenton State College (now the College of New Jersey) where he was the DJ on the college radio station WTSR FM. After graduating he went on to Morgan State University in Baltimore MD where he earned his Masters degree. He has had a long career in South Jersey as a Teacher, Assistant Principal and a Principal. But in the R&B/soul line dance world we know him as DJ Butch. DJ Butch started the oldies dance at the Stardust Ballroom in Pennsauken NJ on the 3rd and 4th Saturdays of every month which resulted in a large following. His DJ and party experience led him to hosting soul line, a popular TV show which featured R&B soul line dancing we know and love today. The TV show united folks from all walks of life and invited them to join our world of dance every week. The show was seen in New Jersey, Delaware and Pennsylvania, elevating R&B soul line dancing to extraordinary levels. DJ Butch continues to host oldies parties and line dance parties throughout the Delaware Valley.

Chris Blues was born as Christopher M. Torres-Evans, but folks know him as Chris Blues, DJ Blues or just plain Blues. Chris is from North Philadelphia, and now lives in Plymouth Meeting ( Philly surburb). In his non dancing world, Chris is in Accountanting & Bookeeping, buind CHILLIN. Chris is affliated with the Parkside Experience and MO GROUND PARK (MGP!!!).

Chris just happened to be bartending for a local weekly dance party where they did line dancing, bop and cha cha. If it wasn't for the DJ not showing up at the weekly dance party where he was bartending, the line dance family probably wouldn't know him. The reside, Chris took the stage and Pho;adelphiant DJ for the event that night did not show up. Chris told the promoter that he had his DJ equipment in his truck. The promoter took a chance, Chris took the stage, and Philadelphia took Chris. He stumbles onto choreography, and created over 15 dances. The first dance was "I'm Feeling" It (a collaboration with Brooklyn Ed). His first solo dance was "Itz Eazy Tho". Source: I Am Kenny J Productions Social Club 13thAnniversary

Meet Consuela Lightfoot | DJ Swayy - SHOUTOUT ATLANTA
We had the good fortune of connecting with Consuela Lightfoot and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Consuela, we’d love for you to start things off by telling us something about your industry that we and others not in the industry might be unaware of?
Being a DJ isn’t just about spinning tracks — it’s about creating an entire atmosphere, reading the crowd, and responding to the energy in the room. The pressure to set the right tone for the event can be overwhelming, especially with all the preparation that goes into it. There’s the technical side of selecting tracks, mixing, making sure everything runs smoothly, but also the creative and emotional side of understanding the vibe of the party and keeping it flowing.
And yeah, the anxiety is real. Even experienced DJs feel it — the fear of things going wrong, or the worry that the crowd won’t respond the way you hoped. But the payoff, when you see the crowd vibing with your set, is so rewarding.
Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I’ve dreamed of becoming a DJ since my early 20s. But as a young mother and wife, both time and money were in short supply. Life was full and demanding, and that dream had to take a backseat.
Then one evening during the pandemic, everything changed. Lerone and I were listening to DJ D-Nice on “Club Quarantine,” and I had this moment—it just clicked. I thought to myself, “I could do that!” Now, I’m not saying I’m on DJ D-Nice’s level, but watching him mix, I could genuinely see myself doing the same. For the first time, the dream felt within reach.
With my kids grown and my finances in a better place, I realized I finally had the freedom to go for it. Before that broadcast ended, I had already researched the equipment I’d need—and placed my first order.
As soon as my gear arrived, it was game on. It was the height of quarantine, so there were no classes to attend and no one to mentor me. So, I taught myself. Every mix, every stumble, every small victory—I learned it all on my own. And honestly, I believe that’s what made me better. That hands-on hustle shaped me into the DJ I am today.
Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Naturally, we have to go vinyl diving at ‘Vinyl Fiends’, owned by one of my favorite Atlanta DJs — DJ Silverknight. From there, it’s only right we grab some good eats and drinks. I’ll be checking the lineups for a few of my other favorite DJs — DJ Jazzy T, DJ King Arthur, and DJ Po Po, just to name a few — to see where they’re spinning. That’ll probably land us at ‘The Patio in Snellville’.
If it happens to be one of my booked weekends, the bestie is definitely tagging along to my Monthly Line Dance Party at ‘Krack’N Up Krabs’ in Fayetteville.
And of course, no visit is complete without some shopping! I’ll be taking her to ‘Black Wall Street’ in Stonecrest to hunt for unique finds and support some amazing Black-owned businesses.
Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
First & foremost I have to recognize my family starting with my Grandfather who is no longer here. He introduced me to music at an early age. I had the distinct job of cleaning his record collection during visits to his Reynoldstown home. His collection contained various artist from BB King to Mahalia Jackson. I still have a lot of his vinyl albums, varying from the 33 RPM to the rare 78 RPM format. Naturally my parents kept this going as music was the cornerstone of all household activities. We all have the stories of Saturday morning cleanup being forged by a soulful soundtrack. My mom would take it a step further by also having a specific playlist when preparing holiday meals. To this very day my own kids know when they hear Gerald Levert or Earth, Wind & Fire – I am in the kitchen making magic!
Next Shoutout goes to my husband Lerone Morris. He has been my biggest supporter on this journey. We both share a profound love of music and this path was seamlessly natural for me. When we dated we would make each other mixed Tapes and CDs of songs to express our feelings to one another. He created a music room in our home for me to practice my sessions. He is honest with his critiques and suggestions during my practice session. He even gives me homework to keep my on my toes. He attends the majority of my bookings as he assists me setting up and breaking down the equipment. He’s so detailed oriented, some of the clients have asked him to assist them with their setups. As a woman in a male dominated industry it feels great to have my husband with me on this journey.
