UPCOMING: Jstar – Licensed Plates (J-STAR)
Due out February 2013 on CD & 2LP, to pre-order please contact us at info@conch.co.nz
Pop sensibility reggae re-workings of Madness, DJ Vadim and Austrian popsters Mr Dero & Farina Miss rub shoulders with chasms of psychedelic dub such as The Unlimiters’ Loophole and Resonators’ Sweet Love Affair (Inna Chicken Head Dub). New Zealand artists Dub Terminator and The Black Seeds get the signature Jstar treatment with deep melodic bass lines and spacious stellar sonics. Jstar’s version of The Empty Heads’ Ya Ya, Das Mic, a Jstar collaboration with Uwe Kaa and Jstar’s own brand new Fish Finger Tentacle Dub are all previously unreleased.
Producer & DJ Jstar is best known for his infamous reggae/hip hop nuggets on limited 7” vinyl, as well as for his remixes of Madness, DJ Vadim, The Black Seeds, Ari Up, Mark Ronson, Dreadsquad and Tenor Fly amongst others. Over 60 productions that made it into record boxes of DJs worldwide such as Norman Jay, David Rodigan, Grandmaster Flash, John Peel, Benji B and Diplo and regularly reached the Top Ten on Juno and Beatport. An original Jstar album is under production for late 2013.
Jstar goes from strength to strength djing across the planet from Mexico to Manchester, Denmark to Delhi, Weimar to Wellington. 2013 will be no different, touring at festivals Northern Bass and Rhythm & Alps, New Zealand in December and January 2013, returning to Europe for the summer, then India.
