XLR8R Magazine asked me to do a mix as part of their City Guide series and I am now honored to join the company of Ghosts on Tape, Nosaj Thing, and many more who are contributing city-centric mixes. I wanted this mix to reflect a bunch of stuff going on in NY right now, from minimal techno and disco to indie rock and of course HEAVY BASS (and I still didn't get to everything). Artists include Uproot Andy, No Regular Play, Tanlines, Cubic Zirconia, Ninjasonik, DTL, Kingdom, and Dre Skull.
Check out this great video interview with Star Eyes for New York on The Clock. Also has some amazing footage from our Halloween party at Europa in BK, with Fool's Gold and Good Peoples, featuring cameos by Drop The Lime, The Captain, Nick Catchdubs, Supra 1, Carrie Wilds, 77 Klash, Kingdom and a whole lotta Ham.
We sometimes get some great letters from some of our fans through myspace, facebook, e-mail, etc. and thought we would share them with you, and answer them publicly.
Thanks for all the support! Your enthusiasm and encouragement is what keeps up going!
"Hello, T&B Crew, First of all, thank you for what you do. My name is Joe, and I live in ******, NV. I'm a DeeJay myself, and I haven't been so excited about new music than the night I discovered Jungle in '97, at a Funky Tekno Tribe massive in Oakland.. Actually, I think Star Eyes had a slot that night. Anyway, it seems that your crew has successfully captured and restored the energy and originality of early rave. The Dubstep, Bassline, Bmore, etc styles that your crew and company play have given my turntable hiatus a much needed kick in the ass. I'm now determined to make those in my area love you too, and then wait. In about 12-18 months I'll be in Brooklyn opening for you. Okay, I know I'm carrying on like a geeky fanboy, but I don't care. What are you going to do?.. I would smile. Well, thanks for reading, and in the meantime enjoy my iTunes money.. Hey, speaking of iTunes have you read some of the reviews of the Scion mix? WTF are some of those pricks talking about? Reducing it to 'noise' and referring listeners to MSTRKRFT? No disrespect, but that's like referring Metallica fans to Britney Spears. One last thing. What do you guys listen to when you're not rocking parties? Thanks again, and much much love, --Joe"
Hey Joe! Glad you're into what we're doing! and that's rad you got to see Star Eyes in 97 when she was a funny little raver girl (well, I guess she still is one). Keep up the hard work and thanks for the support! Just checking out the comments on the Scion comp now, most of them are really funny, specifically the girl who claims she knows every DJ in the world, and the other guy who doesn't think our Scion comp was 'Heavy'. Can't please em all!
Other music we listen to: Ghostface Killah 'Ghostdini Wizard of Poetry in Emerald City', Raekwon 'Only Built 4 Cuban Linx Part 2, Mum 'Sing Along to Songs You Don't Know', Sticky 'Look Pon Me feat. Natalie Storm', Zinc's 'Crack House EP', and much more

Hot off the heels of our slamming party on Saturday, Star Eyes returns to Le Poisson Rouge on Wednesday for more bass madness. Check her out alongside CASPA (Dub Police) and Code of Arms (Konkrete Jungle). Wobble wobble, shake it shake it.
A while back our friend Michna (also known as DJ Egg Foo Young) asked me to do a remix of "Triple Chrome Dipped," the first single off his awesome Magic Monday album on Ghostly International. (You might have heard the o.g. version of the song on Adult Swim! Zing!). I teamed up with Queens' own Mayster to create a slow-burning dubsteppy Liquid Vision refix, and it is out TODAY with other remixes from Eliot Lipp and Osborne. More info and a stream here!
Also got a new Ghost Ride mix up at the most excellent Trash Menagerie blog. Thanks Stefan! And a new interview up here at Musformation.
Finally, thanks to everyone who came out to No Escape from NY at Annex last week. What an awesome birthday! Next one is August 12th so get ready to shock out!
Behold the first release from Brooklyn’s dark princess of bass Star Eyes. This Trouble & Bass DJ likes to call her style “haunted house, and be warned: this is five tracks of gothic dancefloor madness topped with monster bass and Star Eyes’ own spooky vocals. Check out this monster remix by Mikix The Cat!
