DJ Colette is one of the first DJs to add her vocals to the record she
spins, inspiring a new category of performance in the electronic world.
As countless others begin to sing and spin, many can still not compare
to the vocal/turntable sessions Colette delivers. How many singing DJs
combine up-close observation of the legendary Derrick Carter and Mark
Farina dating back to Chicago in the late Eighties with formal
operatic training from the ages of nine to eighteen? Probably not many.
In fact, there may not be any DJ today who can match the impressive
pedigree of former music teacher turned mix-master DJ Colette.
Having already displayed that pedigree in clubs and festivals throughout
the world, both on her own and with the beloved SuperJane collective
she helped form, Colette is ready to establish herself as an upper-echelon
DJ with the release of her Nettwerk America debut 'Our Day'. Colette
showcases that operatic training from the outset with the bluesy acapella
intro/title track.
While the vocals add unmistakable flavor to the mix, the beats come
fast and furious on this inviting CD that includes high-energy tracks
from Wolf N Flow, Synthique, Colette's boyfriend, Angel Alanis, the
can't miss club anthem "Under the Shower," featuring Colette's rising
vocals over the Prax Paris original, and the percussion-rich Colette
original, "Feelin' Hypnotized," which serves as a tantalizing teaser
to Colette's first original artist album, which will be coming out on
Nettwerk Records on November 20th.
Shut your eyes as you listen to Our Day and you'd swear Colette was right
there spinning in front of you, which is exactly the effect she was
striving for. "On most of the material I'm singing over it, so I kind
of write new material that goes over other people's songs. That's what
I do live. So I try and incorporate everything I do live into the mix CD."
Colette credits both her mixing style and her improvised vocals
to coming up as part of the fertile Chicago house music scene at
the turn of the Nineties. "I'm very spoiled because Derrick Carter
and Mark Farina are the first DJs I got to hear growing up in Chicago.
And I definitely learned how to spin watching people. Because at
that time, unlike now, there weren't any classes, or people, that
were willing to instruct you. I remember when I was 16 I used to
watch Diz and Lego; I'd watch every little thing that they were doing
and just kind of suck it in."
It was also at those house parties that Colette, a classical music
student by day, began to find the liberation she still enjoys from
singing over other people's records. "I started singing with house music
when I was 16 or 17. I would go to parties and just freestyle over
other DJs playing." That spontaneous approach, a dance music version
of rapping, is something that has stuck with her through the present.
To Colette, there is no better rush than the one that comes from
improvising in front of a room full of clubgoers. "It's very impromptu
when I write a song over a record, cause a lot of times I'll buy the
record that day and when I'm playing it out that's when I write the
lyrics," she says laughing. "There's definitely something to be said
for a practiced performance, but it's really freeing to just improvise.
Because it's almost like you're one of the people in the party. It's
just like dancing; you don't really have a set dance routine when you
go out to a club; you just feel it and you react to it. And it's the
same thing for me."
If the idea of writing lyrics in front of a crowded club sounds gutsy,
it's even more impressive when you consider Colette was shy about the
idea of spinning publicly until SuperJane mate DJ Heather forced her to
overcome her fear. Though her fear came not just from shyness, but from
what she felt was a late introduction to the decks. "Growing up in
Chicago, everyone started when they were 12, so in high school and my
first couple years of college, all of my friends were DJs, and were
really accomplished DJs at that. I just had been buying all these
records and then I decided to buy some decks just to play around.
I never was planning on playing out because it just seemed too late
in the game for me to do that, and also, a little bit intimidating,"
she recalls.
Because of her early fears about entering the DJ scene, Colette is
happy and proud to be a role model for young girls who follow her lead.
"There are people who ask me questions about spinning or about music and
it's great for me to be able to help them. It makes me feel really
good about it, because it's just continuation. And it's really nice
because I've been meeting so many girls who are 15 or 16 and are spinning,
and I think that's amazing," she says.
In addition to being a role model through her music, Colette extends
herself to a variety of women's causes. Nearly half of her shows benefit
breast cancer organizations or battered women's shelters. Having become
increasingly in these types of events, she plans on starting her own
charity sometime in the near future. Doing what she does best, she'll spin
to raise money for a variety of women's organizations, with the proceeds
from each show being split between worthy causes.
Colette's generous nature is something she tried, successfully, to imbue
Our Day with. Like it's creator, the CD sings with warmth. "The CD is
very summer-y, even though it's coming out in the fall. It's very warm
and fun," she says, speaking from LA, where she moved little over a
year ago. "With all the music that I've been making I've been really
trying to focus on a lot of positive things, both sonically and lyrically."
