"Nicky Digital Pre-Party Jamz": October '09

Brooklyn femme fatale Star Eyes is known for throwing down raw, dirty underground tracks, from heavy house to grime bangers, speaker-rattling dubstep anthems to Miami bass. This 15-year DJ veteran has always been known for being on the cutting-edge of bass music. Throughout the ’90s, California-born Star Eyes was best known as one of the first female drum & bass DJs in the US (and a resident of S.F.’s long-running Eklektic night); by 2002, she was half of the 2-step-meets-electro DJ duo Syrup Girls (called “New York’s best-kept secret” by New Yorker music critic Sasha Frere-Jones). Star Eyes has toured the U.S. and Europe multiple times, touching down in such exotic locales as Cape Town, Sicily, and Warsaw, playing on the Vans Warped Tour (and for Southern Comfort and Scion), as well as headlining the world’s best nightclubs, including London’s Fabric, Berlin’s WMF, and Paris’ Social Club.

Since 2006, she has been a part of the world famous Trouble & Bass crew, which also includes Drop the Lime, AC Slater, and The Captain, along with affiliates worldwide. In June, the Trouble & Bass label released her first EP, Disappear, featuring original vocals, songwriting, and a mix of goth and rave influences whipped into a style she calls “haunted house.” Star Eyes is currently writing songs for her next EP and doing remixes. Her vocals also appear on tracks by John B (Beta Recordings) and Passions (Kitsuné).
