New Colette Track

One of my Favorite DJs has to be Colette. Whenever she comes thru Boston I make a point to see her shows. She is one of the few DJs who really plays for the crowd. She keeps one ear to the room, as if she is saying that she wants to hear what we hear - not just what's in her headphones. Too often, DJs play only what they want to hear and the room can go dead.

I remember a few years back, when PURE opened in Boston. They toted it as an awesome House club. Totally pumped, I went the first night and was wicked disappointed. The DJ totally wouldn't listen to requests. My friend actually requested a song and he said, "I don't play that sh*t." Now this DJ had an empty dance floor and people (including me) left way before last call. I never do that! An to top off the night, the music at the all night Korean BBQ in Chinatown was playing better music!

Colette is the total opposite. She mixed great beats, sometimes has a live percussionist and intersperses her great live vocals throughout her set. She follows the mood of the crowd and people have a blast!

Her new song, "About Us" is great! Its got that trademark Colette beat and sounds like its gonna be a groovy house song for years to come. Click her pic to see her myspace where you can hear the new track. Then come back and let me know what ya think!
