DJ Pelau / Music Mixtape / Volume 1 Home / Day

Playing music during COVID helped nurture us through the challenges and we figured we weren't alone. We wanted to celebrate how music brings us the feels and also brings us together. We chose Home as our first mixtape theme. Home. The “sense of place” that comes from identity–personal, cultural and place identity we prescribe to of a real or imagined state of harmony and centeredness. Both the security of physical shelter and the security that exists outside the physical. A safe place to retreat / to nurture / to create / to love / to belong. Home can be both memory and future imagining. A state of mind. As he was curating songs for Home, Marlon noticed vibe shifts. “I’m thinking of daytime and nighttime theme version(s). HOME is so dif, in the day vs night,” he said. So, stay tuned for the Night mixtape next month. Enjoy getting to know more about Marlon Regis' Caribbean heritage, soulful vibes and groovy beats––and playing our music mixes to transport you. Read the mixtape inspiration for Home / Day on our blog.

Brooklyn, NY

Now based in NY but always focused on the world, Caribbean-born Marlon 'DJ Pelau' Regis (pronounced “Peh-Laow”), is a multi-talented music stylist that has always lived being surrounded by rich music via life’s travels. Whether in his youthful days on the festive, multicultural streets of his birthplace in Trinidad, right home in Petit Valley listening to his dad's enormous jazz collection (his older brother's name is 'Miles') or in his adopted homes of Atlanta, NYC, Los Angeles and now Brooklyn, the direction of his music through DJing or producing compilations first aims to connect to the people. With an unwillingness to limit himself to one particular genre or social scene for that matter, expect a wide variety but always with soul.
