Spredluv continue their Dj series with a night in-titled “DUB INNA DA CITY” where you can expect to hear all things Dub related. Each “DUB INNA DA CITY” feature special guest Djs who are at the top of their game in the related fields.
This month we welcome Roots, Dub, and Mash Up Specialist “Jstar”
JStar is the DJ, selector and remixer who laid down some of the outstanding reggae remixes of the past few years. His limited edition unofficial blends put onto vinyl complimented the artists he reworked, and opened doors to full productions and remixes for major record labels including Sony, EMI, V2 and Acid Jazz amongst others This body of work saw Jstar invited to play around the world as a DJ, and contribute to local productions. Jstar has also brokered deals, helping aspiring other global remixers break into the vinyl market.
Jstar struck gold with his blends of reggae instrumentals & hip-hop acapellas released on limited 7 inches. Having found their way into the bags and sets of every Dj worth their salt including grandmaster flash, Norman Jay, Francois k and the late great john peel they have been causing a stir in clubs worldwide as well as these great bootlegs he has been kept busy remixing tunes for ms dynamite, Dj Vadim & Teedra Moses. One listen to these dance-floor gems give you an exact idea of the energy and style of this man’s Dj sets.
JStar’s Snoopin’ Foxy/Sbiggerdan release is unbelievable and furthers something that been really apparent in ‘05, which is the line between remix, original production, and mash-up is so blurry as to be virtually unimportant. Both of these tracks use elements of more than one existing song that play off each other in interesting ways, but then add a whole slew of new elements of original production as well.
