From her first time playing out, to now DJing everywhere and producing monthly parties and weekend festivals, watching Copeland grow from a late-night house party DJ to resident with two crews in Seattle (Viva Recordings and Reflect) has been amazing! We're so proud to claim her as a Booty!!

Getting ready for the burn, and decompressing after, caused a pause in putting out DBR mixes, but we’re back!! Now we’re getting ready for Seacompression on 11/12, where you can catch Copeland live! Get in that dusty mood listening to her set from our DBR pre-playa party from July!

I like most music genres and have a strong preference for most electronic music.  I love progressive house, techno, house, disco house, breaks and more.  It was in San Francisco that I attended 100s of events at clubs, undergrounds and festivals.  Some highlights include Sasha & Digweed at the Gift Center, Underworld at Coachella, Opel Productions Halloween parties at the Gingerbread House, Brass Tax Halloween Renegades, the Watermelon boat parties with the likes of Darren Emerson and of course Burning Man.

I'm back in Seattle now and while I don't get to as many shows as I used to,  I like that Sound Cloud allows me to stay connected to the music I like and explore new sounds.

(2022) And whadda ya know, I now have decks of my own and have been enjoying the learning progression of DJ'g and play the occasional house party. Lots and lots to learn but never too late:) 

(2023) Enjoying DJ'g. Gravitating mostly to disco house in my sets with splashes of house and tech house.

Chemical Bros, Groove Armada, Orbital, Underworld, Nick Warren, Sasha, Krafty Kuts, Jody Wisternoff, Etienne de Crecy (Super Discount) are my all time favorite producers/DJs.  Some friends I also enjoy listening to include Luxxury, Jonboy, Sam Haas, DJ Loryn and Erik Rumors.  You should check them out on Sound Cloud as well.
