1-22-2008------ NEWSFLASH!!!!!!!!!!------>
Although I will still be adding sets on a regular basis, I am focussing my energy on producing breakbeat and psy-break trax. None of the trax will be released for another year or 2....so if you would like a copy of a trax sent to you, please email me at eupnorth@yahoo.com. Trax are not and will not be available for download on this site, simply because 96kps mp3 sounds like shit. In the past, it has taken me about 2 weeks to get stuff mailed out so don't get in touch with me at the last moment. Thanks again for all the love and support.
Darkstar
1st off....this is not a job for me and never will be. I do this because I love it, no other reason. If I get booked to spin, chances are I'm doing it for free, as long as my costs are covered. Much of my influence comes from many many nights wandering through the forest and most importantly, listening to the sounds and feelings of Pink floyd and The Grateful Dead. It wasn't until 1991, in Santa Barbara, Cali., where I stumbled to a wharehouse with hypnotizing beats coming from within. In 1995 I bought my Technics 1200's and began the everlasting journy of finding the PERFECT SOUND. I produce mainly Funky Nuschool breaks, Techno Breaks and Psy Breaks. I spin Breaks, funky Techno, Progressive, psy-trance, psy-breaks, and anything else I would consider psychedelic and/or funky ..........I feel lucky to have seen live performances be The Chemicals Brothers( aka The Dust Brothers ), Rabit in the Moon, D-Lite, Orbital, The Orb, Dub Tribe from San Fran, The Crystal Method, STS9, as well as hearing the worlds best DJ talents in NYC, Conn., Phili, and DC at the prime of the undergroud culture when raves were still, all about gettin your freak on. I am here to spread the vibe and sounds so many nights have givin me.......... to promote the return of the psychedelic dance culture, and to release you from the daily grind of life....WE ARE IN......THE LIGHT.
For the love of music, I spin countless times, in a sea of purple waves.
If you would like .wavs of any trax or sets, please leave a message at my yahoo account and we can work out the details.....
For bookings, remix projects----> contact: Darkstar @ Tribe.net eupnorth@yahoo.com

Spring Breakzz 2008, part 2
Description:
The second half of a 2 1/2 set...this one being more funky, hard, nuschool style. I also threw in a few acid breaks to make it a little dark at times, but towards the end. There are some seriously thick ass bass lines which will vibrate your car apart if you crank it up to much, so get some insurance that will cover it...just in case. Please leave a comment if you have the time....so I can have an idea of what you think about all this shizzat.
1.Daddio
2.White Line
3.Bare in Mind
4.Next School - Vigi remix
5.Don't Get Tired
6.Dynamite
7.Brave New World
8.Breathe - General Midi remix
9.I Like You
10.Low Contour
11.Kabul
12.Disco Biscuit
13.High Rise

8-10-2007.....G-Spot
Description:
The set starts off with some melodic breaks and ecstatic ambient beats that put you as close to an orgasm as you can get without the real thing.........and SLAMS into the funk, which, if your laying down at this point on the dance floor, you might find yourself spinning in circles like a chicken tripping on acid with its head cut off!!! Last 2 cuts start to mellow out, back into the peaceful bliss where this ride 1st began. Definitely a great ride
Music from:
Sifter
JDS
Dub Pistols
General Midi
Neo
Seany B
Darkstar
High Fi Bugs & Lydian
and a few unknown artists

3-21-2007--Percussive Thinking
Description:
Tons of BREAKS and TECHNO trax make for some sweet, long ass mixes that compliment the rich textered trax from the likes of Hexidecimal, Doped Out Kings, Christian J, Meat Katie, Aquasky, DJ Killer, General Midi, and Electrofly.........just to name a few. The UK is with out a doubt the home of the Breakbeat, and I plan to keep bringing'em from their house to yours. I remixed a few trax, and most mixes are around 3 mins. long. I wanted this set to be a total mind fuck and I think I have it this time. Hope you all enjoy...............

This one travels through many sub genres of breakbeat, starting off with a cool guitar track into a mid tempo smooth butter, into some more butter, into some seriously jazzy breaks, into some Sango breaks, and finishing with my usual nuschool style breaks.
