AfroSoul Vol. 5 Is Finally Here!

CHICAGO, Ilinois (August 31, 2010)  It is a known fact music and fashion go together like a hand in glove.  Think of fashion shows and videos, styling and sounds compliment each other in every way possible. Through his Afrodisiak Clothing line, Joe Kollege has found a way to not only provide smart and fashionable attire, but also reach your soul in harmony.  In addition to being a part owner of Afrodisiak Clothing, Joe Kollege is a well-seasoned Chicago DJ who has been keeping fan’s ears bent, with the popular annual AfroSoul mix.  Together, the clothing and music work in tandem by bringing both endeavors to everyone and are embraced with open arms once released.
The Afrodisiak Clothing line was created to reflect bold and powerful statements from the soul, that can be expressed by a simple logo or print. Many artists have let Afrodisiak tees express their vibe of the day, with their fun and stylish pieces. These phenomenal tees have been worn by the likes of Mos Def, Common, Dwele, T3 (Slum Village), Russell Taylor, and Gordon Chambers.  With a great selection of shirts for men and women, the Afrodisiak styles keep snazzy t-shirt fanatics returning for new looks. Additionally, the AfroSoul mix has been accompanying the line for 4 volumes strong.  The celebration and selection of indie soul and hip hop talent brought to you by Joe Kollege, is not to be taken lightly!  This year’s volume – AfroSoul Vol. 5 includes the likes of Janelle Monae, PJ Morton &Tweet, Eric Roberson, The Primeridian, Choklate, Foreign Exchange and more!
Your favorite piece of clothing should evoke a special sentiment or emotion when worn. It should render you in a state of nostalgia, as well as take you on a journey, conjuring up the different occasions you wore that piece and the events that transpired on that given day.  Let the Afrosoul mix, infused with heavy hitters from both the soul and hip hop scene –  along with an Afrodisiak tee, transport you there – now and forever.

The Greatest!

Posted by joekollege on Friday, 25 June, 2010

Today marks the 1 year anniversary of Michael Jackson’s transition. Just like much of the world I was shocked to hear the news. I figured that every DJ in the world would create a MJ Mix so at first I decided against such a thing. However, after watching the news reports all evening and into the wee hours of the morning something hit me…I removed myself from the couch at 2:45 am and proceeded to the lab to create MY Michael Jackson Tribute Mix…by 3 am I had hit record. My mix is unrehearsed and done in one take! Hopefully I’ve done Michael Jackson justice with this mix…RIP to THE GREATEST ever, MICHAEL JACKSON (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009)
