Boris Collage @ El Draon (Lima, Peru) Wednesday December 7th


DJ BORIS COLLAGE and MAMA COLLAGE just days before my departure to Lima

I will be playing and headlining at the DRAGON over in Barranco, an old quiant neighborhood here in Lima.
Ill be on the decks around midnight and play on till 2am.
The Scene here in Lima is pretty solid as far as the DJ-Dancer respect. There is good talent here, though in small numbers; nevertheless the kids who throw down, throw down and keep their dancers happy. Electro house and acid seems to be breaking ground here through this one cat i saw play on saturday night. His name is Andy Dyer. He opened up for Dean Coleman from Yoshitoshi.
There is a lack of soulful deep house, and the more orchestrated tracks chalk full of instrumentals and song based journey mixes. I am trying to persuade the owener and booking agent for the big club GOTICA to get Lil Louie Vega down here and introduce a spiritual and positive message in house music. I think it would be a good call, and perhaps get Swag down here, and maybe Marcus Wayett. Though the problem with this is that the scene is still in the trance mode as far as big room behavior goes. There are small satellite clubs that enjoy the fruits of house and its territories, but the big guys need to wake up. I will be playing at Gotica in a couple of weeks or so; just finalising the contracts and other needs. I am taking a chance here to put that New York energy into the Lima scene and hopefully not get booed off the decks. And if i do, at least i tried. Though how can you go wrong playing tracks from Anthony Nicholson, Vega, and SWAG remixes of Latin house. Also, a good dose of San Francisco deep, anchored with the spacey jazz based style i love to put out.
Ill keep you all updated on how it goes...
For now, keep recognizing music in sound and silence, and keep dancing.

Initial recap of Collage Music @ El Dragon, Lima(Peru)

Last night was great at the Dragón. It started off a bit shakey because the turntable had not yet arrived, and i didn't pack allot of CDs for my set that night. I mean, they had the set up (CDJ1000s along with a brand new DJM 1000 mixer) and the friendliest staff. The guy who rents out the EQP to the club came up to me on stage and assured me that the decks were on the way. So i started off with the CDs and in 10 minutes the decks were being plugged in, seamlessly the music never stopped. I had so much fun, and the floor was on fire by 1am. By 2am everyones hands were in the sky when i closed up with Blaze's "Be Yourself". Special thanks to Love Monk for their shhh shhh tracks i got to play. Clean!!!! My next stop is GOTICA next friday. There i will be playing along with Felipe Salmon. He and i will be doing interval sets all the way to 6am, so i better get some sleep the night before. Lately sleep has been pretty tough due to my apartment being situated on ...

Collage in Peru

Photo Courtesy of Mlle. Rockoto (Warming up the night for Felipe Salmon @ El Dragón, Barranco, Lima Peru) It was my first gig here in Lima, and the promoters and DJs welcomed me with open arms. I am being treated very good down here, and i own it to my beautiful Mlle. Rockoto for her support and vibes. Also special thanks to my friend Franco Gambini, and GM of the Dragón Rodrigo Wangeman. I will be playing on the 2nd and the 9th at the big club here in Lima called Gotica. I will be playing with Dave Caulluman from the U.K and another DJ from abroad as well.
