The instantly recognizable baritone of Brad Roberts, Founder of the Crash Test Dummies and widely known as one of the most distinctive voices in modern music has collaborated with New York City producer and composer Terry Derkach of VRTCL Entertainment to create an exquisite blend of Ancient Sanskrit Mantras and world music that underscore Roberts’ incomparable vocal tracks and create a sonic journey for both the listener’s ears and soul.

Rajanaka Mantra - The Wonderful Destroyer

Colorhouse is a union of the passionate and emotive voice
of Wes McWhorter and melodic, creative production and guitar work of Terry Derkach.

Combined with the smoldering rhythm section of Ben White on bass and Brian Mendes on drums, they form an incredible blend of soul and pop with beautiful melodies, soulful intimate vocals and lush, soaring guitars to form immediately memorable pop hooks.

Colorhouse - Superhuman

This line of text, drawn forth from the Rg Veda, can be used at the beginning of a meditation practice as a means of setting the stage, granting oneself permission to explore a new state of consciousness, or simply create the context for entry into the mind and heart. Mahodevo refers to Shiva as the great light who liberates us from death. Loosely translated the rest of this mantra says that we may gain entry “in any different way, all to the core.” 

Rajanaka Mantra - By Any & All Means

Melanie Munoz is a wonderfully aspiring and diverse 18 year old singer/songwriter. Her fun, catchy melodies, heartfelt lyrics exhibit a quality that is sure to garner her much attention and success.

Melanie - Dance Floor

Here we learn Ganapati’s laghu mula-mantra, the “light” version of his mula (root) mantra. In the Tantric tradition, to name is to invoke presence. When forms are named – and only when they are named – can they become food. The tantric longs for evocative sustenance in her embodiment and so there is little stock given to those forms which are said by some to be “beyond words.” Such language of ineffability is reserved for the problem-solving traditions; for language - a feature of embodiment - is surely a problem in their minds. By contrast, the poets of the tantra long for more language, not less. For with more words one has more artful possibilities in life. Only by naming one’s experience can one grab hold of it, assimilate and digest it says the Tantric. And so Om Namo Ganapataye names this great Ganapati, which is his preferred name among some lineages of Householders. (Ganesha tends to be the name one hears most often in the West.)
