joining us on Scientific Sound Radio today for his new weekly show ‘Control Tower’ with JSTAR, he will be doing a Dub/Bass show every Friday from 8 - 10 PM Vietnamese time welcome onboard!
Jstar has been lauded for his back catalogue of over 100 dancefloor gold, official and unofficial, reggae and hip-hop remixes for the likes of Blackstreet, Gang Starr, Busta Rhymes, Major Lazer, Madness, DJ Vadim, Tack Head, Mark Ronson, The Black Seeds and others.
Growing up in West London under a haze of reggae, rave, funk and hip-hop, Jstar soon started DJing. This eventually led to substantial work as a producer that has been widely acclaimed by the likes of Mixmag, David 'Ram Jam' Rodigan, Norman Jay (MBE), John Peel, Grandmaster Flash and The Clash’s DJ, Don Letts.
Since releasing the double album ‘Licensed Plates’, and studio albums ‘Stand To Order’ and ‘Dub To Order’, Jstar is pushing boundaries by working with Chinese reggae MCs, and recently completed an 8-date tour of China.
“I love to play a classic deep dub DJ set as much as party-filling tropical dancehall or drum & bass. I'll play all sorts - I'm not apologising for playing dubstep in 2004 or Moombahton in 2010; even if no one had heard of those styles then, it all owes its debt to sound system business” Jstar
Jstar often features as tour DJ for vocalist Soom T and has also performed solo many times at festivals such as Glastonbury (UK), EXIT (Serbia), Womad (UK), Fusion (DE), Symbiosis (USA), Island Vibe (AUS), The Big Chill, Big Love, Kelburn Garden Party (SC) and toured all of Europe, parts of India, New Zealand, Russia, Kenya, Mexico, Australia, Vietnam (Saigon Dub Station), Cambodia and Ibiza’s legendary Space club 4 times!
“My highlight of the last few years was playing at Exit Festival to 10000 people with Dynamite MC after The Prodigy” Jstar
Past DJ residencies include Rootikal (London) with David 'Ram Jam' Rodigan & Earl Gateshead, The Big Chill Bar/ House (Jstar & Friends/Hot Wuk with Heatwave), Jet Set Subterranea), plus shows at seminal London clubs such as The End, Plastic People & Heavenly Social Bill sharing with Nicky Blackmarket, MC Honey Brown, Diplo, Dead Prez, Shapeshifter, Dreadzone, Netsky, Andy Smith, Prince Fatty, A.Skillz, Maceo (De La Soul), Sly & Robbie, Cypress Hill, Morcheeba, Shy FX & many others.
