This DJ Collage classic never got an official release. So what makes it classic? Well, from it’s recorded year of 2003 just up to last week it still gets the dancefloor moving everytime I perform it. It’s a great song that just simply needs MORE exposure. So, it’s here on Soundcloud for the world to hear and download. So, go grab it and the next time you see me perform, request it, and I expect you to sing along…MORE LUV- Chatman

Tings really heated up when Mr. Chatman joined Soulico onstage for their last track of their Seattle show last Thursday! Chatman was the opening act for Soulico at this Chop Suey show and had to join them to get in on their energy! After this tune, I was ready to fly away to Tel Aviv and get tha party started! Check it for yourself and hope you enjoy…

Funny thing is, I went several years without even celebrating Halloween. And when I did, I would be one of those guys who would go somewhere w/o a costume, then wish I had worn one when I saw others having fun in theirs. Well, that’s changed over the past couple years. I have gotten into the spirit and even worn costumes! Hahaha..but this year it’s going down BIGGER than ever with a couple nice shows to help get mi inna mood to chase vampire! Here’s whatz up:

Celtic-Bhangra fusionists Dehli2Dublin w/ DJ Collage perform “Raise it Up” at Bumbershoot09 in Seattle at Fisher Green stage. Wikkid vibes!! Bless Up…

When the long standing Dub Mission Resident DJ Sep first approached Mochipet to do a Dub rendition of his tune “Get Your Whistle Wet” off of his 2008 Release “Microphonepet” he was honored. But little did he know she would recruit the help of fellow artists Jason Short, DJ Collage, and Juakali . The result is a mending of both Dub and Techno pulling from both Sep and Short’s backgrounds. You add that with the vocal stylings of DJ Collage and Juakali and the end result is nothing short of Bass Heavy, Tech Bouncing Goodness. This is for the lovers of Dub and Glitch Basslines.

I love reggae covers of good, soulful oldies music. Here are just a few of my favorites back to back, first the original, then the cover. Enjoy!

Extreme sports channel FUEL TV has licensed on of my tunes “Satisfaction” for an upcoming wakeboarding episode. I’ll give more info when I get it, but for now- Biggups to Face Trois Musique & FUEL TV..Long live songs from THE PARLOR!! BRAP! BRAP!
