Colette

Friday, 18 Dec 2009

Glo

2323 N Henderson #101
Dallas, TX

Here is a description as per my dude Jose G

Futuraevents.com A new nightlife, music, lifestyle website launching in 2010 Presents Colette (OM, APT Ent.)

With her disarming doe eyes and a heartwarming demeanor, Colette possesses the unmistakable voice of post-millennial house music. Her sweet-but-sultry voice has been called "angelic" so many times, it's a miracle she hasn't grown wings: Imagine a less breathy Kylie Minogue merged with a more controlled Roisin Murphy (Moloko) and you have a good grasp on her classy voice that highlights any beat that flows behind it. Whereas in the late 80s, the diva reigned supreme and made the music cower, Colette has kept it deliciously simple and always melodic, making the former choirgirl-cum-Chicago-house-siren a mainstay of modern dance music.

The Peanut Butter Soul-ution Happy Hour

----------------The People's Lunch Counter & 23MG presents:-------------------
-------------------------"The Peanut Butter Soul-ution"-----------------------------


------> HAPPY HOUR DRINK SPECIALS <--------

"Get in free with an 18 oz or smaller jar of peanut butter"'
The peanut butter you donate will go home in the backpack of a child in need.

Hosted by: Vincent 'Young Heartbreak' Tucker
Performances by: Thesis, Original Soul, Cassie Holt & Rage Almighty

Research shows that hungry children have poorer mental health and overall health, miss more days of school, suffer greater rates of behavioral disorders and are less prepared to learn when they are in school. One of the North Texas Food Bank's End Childhood Hunger Opportunities (ECHO) is Food 4 Kids. Food 4 Kids supplies participating schools with nutritious, kid-friendly, self-serve food designed to fill a backpack and feed a child over the weekend during the school year. Children identified by school personnel as being at risk of hungry receive approximately four pounds of food in their backpacks each Friday. On Monday, children return the empty backpacks, and they are refilled for the next Friday. We plan to distribute Food 4 Kids backpacks, and they are refilled for the next Friday. We plan to distribute Food 4 Kids backpacks to 4,500 children in 180 schools.We are seeking peanut butter donations because it is a valuable protein, nutritious and kids love it! The peanut butter will be included in the backpacks of the Food 4 Kids program.

Its fun and easy and will benefit kids in the Food 4 Kids program. Imagine this - the peanut butter you donate will go home in the backpack of a child in need.

Please bring 18 oz or smaller plastic jars of peanut butter (that do not require refrigeration after opening).

Documentary on Afro-Latinos

This is a trailer for a new documentary on Afro-Latinos. I think this is dope especially considering that my family is Afro-Honduran and Garifuna. For as long as I can remember, Afro-Latinos have been invisible in mainstream society. Countless times I have met people who are amazed that I am black and speak spanish. Kudos to these cats for putting this documentary together.

Heads Up! Select and I will be doing The Takeover party on the 3rd Friday for October which is also TX-OU weekend. Expect an ill evening of good tunes and a lot of sweat and dancing.

Peace!

Weekend Recap

Sunday at Zubar was incredible. Cokni O'Dire and Select literally tore the rough off. They did dancehall the way it is supposed to be done. Hands down my favorite dancehall night in Dallas. Cokni O'Dire is a true veteran. Dude was toasting on the mic, mixing up tunes, and even got on the dance floor and did a little passa passa. Incredible.

Monday's Lunes Tropical was the best one to date. Big up to John Johnson for helping promote and getting all the salseros out. It was truly special and I was cheesing the whole night. It is nice to know that Dallas has a salsa scene and dancers that like to get it in. We will be updating the sets from Lunes Tropical weekly for your listening pleasure. They will be available for free download within one week.

Remember to come out to Happy Hour at Murray Street Coffee Shop on Friday for beer and wine specials and Select and AV's live ustream podcast.

After the Happy Hour, swing by Zubar for Select and AV's monthly Takeover Party. We will be dropping the dope dancehall, reggae, latin, & hip hop tunes.

Both events are free so come out.

I know a lot of new dj's just start off on Serato.  But I still feel that in order to consider yourself a complete dj, you need to have a tough vinyl collection.  My man Nick Nack put me on to record conventions back during my UT Austin days.  We used to hit up the Austin Record Convention at the Palmer Center and come away with jewels.

Panama

So this past weekend myself, International Stro, and VMB had the chance to chill with my Panama. You may remember him as the character who harassed Bubbles all throughout Season IV of HBO's The Wire. Above are two of his videos. The first being Make It Last which can be seen currently on Music Choice, VH1, MTVU, and MTV2. The second video is Play Your Position Featuring Skyzoo. CE had the opportunity to show him around The Metroplex and show him some Texas hospitality. We took him to Kixpo which was cool. Shout out to Niro and crew. Then we crept by Zubar for a bit. Afterwards we ended up at Nylon.

Be on the lookout for Calidad Entertainment and Panama to be collaborating with one another in the future.

Big up to Milad and the 23MG Crew for coming out to chill too.

Don't forget that The Takeover 2.0 goes down 14 August 2009 at Zubar. Flier coming soon.

Finally, Calidad Blends Vol. II had to be pushed back to due to issues with the artwork getting in on time. The mix is done. Once we receive the artwork, it will be uploaded so that you can download your free 320 kbps high quality mp3. Thank you for your patience and sorry for the delay.
