I started with the idea to incorporate the opening vocal from this track into a song and ended up just remixing the whole thing. A fresh take on a groovy funk classic.

Dance On The Mothership D.O.T.M.S.

At the young age of seven, RonKat's father Lester took him to a Jazz club in Grand Rapids Michigan and asked the legendary "Grant Green" to let his son play percussion for a song. Reluctant at first, he did agree and RonKat was asked to return 'anytime' which he did. That began the lifetime career of RonKat Spearman.

     Along with his successful writing and producing career RonKat also lead and toured with very popular bands in Los Angeles. He is a featured musician and vocalist with members of his band The Soul Survivors backing up Rick James on the video Turn It Out.

  In 1998 RonKat met and wrote with George Clinton and later joined Parliament Funkadelic in 2000. He toured the world playing guitar, bass and vocals for P Funk for ten years. During that time he also moved to San Francisco where he formed a side project KATDELIC.

   In 2010 he left P Funk with George's blessing and has been touring nationally and recording with KATDELIC ever since. KATDELIC, Was Voted two time winner Best of the Bay 2017 & 2019

He spent the next ten years touring the world as a guitar player and singer for Parliament Funkadelic, honing his performance skills in the process.
