About Me

Thanks to French Jacuzzi for supplying some wicked T-shirts to smarten up JSTAR and MC Honey Brown! - click the logo for their shop

J-STAR has struck gold with his blends of reggae instrumentals & hip-hop accapellas 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
