Dylan Macdonald · Peterborough, Ontario
I’m Dylan, the DJ behind Chatell Motherboard. Music has always been my thing, and there’s nothing quite like finding the perfect record for the perfect moment. From weddings and private celebrations to clubs and corporate events, I bring a versatile selection and a personal approach to every room I play.

About
Weddings, bars, clubs and themed nights, each played for the room in front of me.
I want your night to feel like yours, not like a set I would play anywhere.
A good night starts with listening. I want to know the songs that matter to you, the people in the room and the feeling you are after, then find the records that fit that moment. I get into it when I mix. I am in it with the room, not standing apart from it.
Making my own music taught me how a set builds, when to hold back and when to let it go. That same ear shapes every room I play, whether it is a first dance or a late set for people who came to hear something different.
Services
Pick the one that fits, or just get in touch and we will work it out together.
Your wedding, your music. We plan it together, from the songs that matter to you to the ones you never want to hear again. On the day I keep timings moving with your other vendors, and handle announcements and MC duties if you want them.
This is where I get to stretch out, and where my own taste comes through most. Disco and house are home for me, and late rooms are where the deeper, underground side of what I play comes out. I mix live and build the energy through the night so people stay dancing and stay in the room.
A work party is not a wedding, and a private party is not a club night. I set the level to fit, from music that sits easily under conversation to a full open format dance set when the room is ready for it. You get one point of contact and a plan agreed before the day.
Ready to run
Four nights I can bring to a venue, each shaped to your room and your date. Every button below takes you to the form at the bottom of the page, with that night already filled in.
Lights low, tempo high, floor full. Disco and funky house all night, for a room that wants to dance.
Every word sung back. Decades of party records for a mixed crowd that wants to sing along and stay on the floor.
Fast, loud and lit to the ceiling. Old-school rave and EDM energy for a late room that wants to move hard and stay moving.
No fixed genre, no fixed era. Everything in one night, chosen for the room in front of me, from songs everyone knows to records nobody expected.
Find your sound
Slide it to the night you have in mind. You do not need the right words for the music, just a sense of how familiar or how far out you want it to feel.
Warm, groovy dance music that keeps the floor moving without ever feeling heavy.
Suited to: weddings, bars, clubs and corporate rooms.

The evening
The shape of the evening, from arrival to the final song.
Sound checked and timings confirmed before anyone walks in, so the first impression is music, not setup.
I open at the right level for the moment and adjust as the room responds.
Live mixing keeps the momentum up, with speeches and special moments landing on time.
A final song chosen for the moment, a clear finish time, and a tidy pack down.
What I am digging changes with every mix. Hear the current selection in the 2026 mixes.

Working with me
What happens after you get in touch, and what to expect on the night.
Every message comes straight to me. I plan the music with you, and I am the person you will see on the night.
We agree timings, must plays and do not plays before the day, and I coordinate with your venue or planner where that helps.
On the night I mix live and adjust to the people in front of me, from the first song to the last, with MC support if you want it.
The photos on this page are from real nights I have played, in Peterborough and nearby, including a stained-glass hall, a timber barn, an outdoor ceremony lawn, a bar dining room, and an in-store set.
