Welcome to my haven of all things music & Soundcloud home for content produced by SPKEZ (pronounced "Speakeasy")

Arlington, VA native. Music has been my love since the late 70's.  I write, rap, and produce.  I'm the co founder of Paypah Gang Music Group, a small independent label.  I'd love to collaborate with artists and producers and develop great business relationships.  Let's get it!

Joshua Grace aka sonnymandrake started DJing at block parties in Kensington and North Philly a few summers ago. The music grew into mixtapes, remixes, and dance parties across the US and Mexico. His nutritious beats illicit all natural embodied responses. #hiphop #trapeton #dancing #healing

Hi there :) My name is Charlotte Colace and I'm a Berlin-based Neo-Soul singer-songwriter and performer. My music is deeply influenced by my French-Cuban roots, blending classic soul with modern sounds. After graduating from BIMM Berlin until now I’ve had the chance to be part of projects and bands like A Song For You, Stella & The Longos, Combo Aspik and more recently with Sorvina. I have backed international stars like Omah Lay, Nick Hackim and Noah Slee. Now, I’m stepping into my own spotlight with my soon to be released 60’s Soul-inspired EP "No Way But Through" made in collaboration with German producer Aron Hentschel aka Tremendous Aron - think echoes of Amy Winehouse, Portis Head and Donny Hathaway. Can’t wait to share it with you!

L’Oréal Porçeia McCollum (aka Lola Kinks) is a therapist/healing artist, music curator, and vinyl selectress/DJ, known for weaving soulful grooves, deep cuts, and joyful nostalgia into every set. With a reverence for the stories behind the sound, she creates intentional and immersive experiences for dance floors, listening rooms, and community spaces alike.

Beyond the booth, she served as the inaugural Director of Culture for Women in Vinyl, amplifying representation and celebrating diversity in analog music culture. She continues to bridge her work as a therapist/healing artist with her role as a DJ, treating each set as both a communal release and a liberatory practice.

Currently based in Philly, with roots in Landstuhl, Germany, Richmond, VA, and Atlanta, GA, Lola brings a translocal grounding and global sensibility to her sets.

Current residency: The Trestle Inn (First Friday Happy Hour series: "Funkytown," "I'm Every Woman," Jacksons & Prince-themed nights).

Recent/previous appearances: Making Time Fest 2023, Technica House NYC, Bierwax (Brooklyn, NY), Superfrico (Atlantic City, NJ), Tellus360 (Lancaster, PA), W Philadelphia, 48 Record Bar, The Sound Lounge at Percy, The Listening Room at LMNO, Johnny Brenda’s, The International Bar, WKDU’s Thrifty Disco at Philly AIDS Thrift, and VinylCon!.
