“I played [the] Bonnaroo [Festival] a couple of years ago,” recounts DJ Harry. “There were no other house music DJs on the bill, only hip hop DJs. When a hip hop beat kicked in, people immediately started dancing or nodding their heads. Even though house music is originally an American form of music, it’s never been pursued in a mainstream way. In watching people’s reactions at Bonnaroo, I thought that on my next album I would focus something more people would understand, while still appealing to house music fans.”

That is exactly what DJ Harry has accomplished with Collision. A daring combination of different sounds and styles, he manages to make it all work with a coherence that is unique to him. “I tried to make music that represents me, but also hit a lot of different points,” he explains. “It is all one vibe, one kind of energy.”
