DJ MIXES... LORD IMPERIAL & YOUNG ADORABLE TAG TEAM MIX ::.  Supersonic dirty disco, house-not-house, gutsy electro/nica and assorted thumping tracks; Finally, a mix I did as The Lord Imperial. The Young Adorable and I recorded this tag team mix live as a teaser until we release an official mix planned for some time in the Spring. Listen here ........................................................................................................................ LIVE AT SOULAR GROOVES 11. 26.2005 ::. 
It's been nearly 3 years since I did my last mix at Soular Grooves. I first heard about the show about 5 months before I moved to Houston back in late 1999, through a mix CD by the legendary DJ Sun. At the time, I was starting to incorporate more downtempo and house into my raregroove, funk and hip hop sets and that CD was hitting that vibe on all cylinders. Meeting the whole Soular Grooves family was a great blessing as they taught me a lot when it came to checking for artists, producers and labels. It's through Soular Grooves that I became friends with Melodic and Chicken George (future Parakitachi members). Sun and the entire SG family has been a big influence on me, showing me that you can do your thing and develop your own niche in the deejay community without having to conform to topical tastes. I was back in Houston visiting my folks for the holidays and did a live improvised set consisting of some of my favorite records (past and present). This mix is a pretty accurate representation of what you are likely to hear when I do my thing under my DJ Starsign guise. Enjoy the mix, I had a great time doing it. Big up to DJ Sun, Melodic, Lil Tiger, Sumaand Seth Jones for holding it down. Listen to DJ Starsign Soular Grooves mix here. Tracklist: ------------------------------------------------- 01.

For your listening pleasure, I also recorded a hip
hop mix. It's been a long time since I've done a straight-foward
hip hop mix. Most of the time, I usually incorporate other genres in
my mixes, but for this one, I decided to focus on the songs that most
influenced my deejay style and basically just pulled out some of my
favorite singles and LPs and freestyled this one. Most of the songs
are from the 91 -94 era, and there are explicit lyrics so keep that
in mind if you are a sensitive listener. Listen
to the Hip Hop Mix here. OLDER / OUT OF PRINT MIXES ::.
I'm not sure why I never released this mix. I think by the time I was
going to, I had shifted directions and gone into a more electronic arena.
Either way, this is one of the best mixes I put together. Pretty representative
of what I used to spin from 2000-2003.
I did a my own version of the many DJ Shadow mix CDs put together by other deejays b/c most of the ones I heard flat out sucked. I never released my version , but part one of the mix is here for you to listen to.

Back in 1995, I wanted to do a live score to the film 2001:
A Space Odyssey. |

DJ Starsign plays the eclectic beats. DJ Starsign aka Deejay Starsign aka
Dave Starsign. Starsign, the graphic pimp and deejay. DJ Starsign the founder
of the Parakitachi DJ Collective. DJ Starsign vs DJ Shadow, the new mix.
DJ Starsign, the martini-sipping beat collector. Spinning music that crosses
multiple genres and strays from the mainstream hype machine, Starsign has
carved a niche as being one of the most adventerous DJs to come out of the
South. It's difficult to define his deejay style in just one word; the closest
approximations being "eclectic", "broad" and "open-minded". As a deejay
with a refined ear for music and a percussionist's timing, you're bound
to hear mixes that include elements of jazz, soul, dub, house, electro,
hip hop, broken beat, latin, rock and underground all blended into one diverse
musical journey. Such dedication and expansive knowledge of music has taken
him to New York City, Paris, Stockholm, Amsterdam and beyond. |
