Flürb set from Howl 2023

(Matt)  This is the first of a multi-volume journey through my earliest musical memories - tracks that I loved or made an impression on me while growing up in the Great White North.

I was born in 1969 and grew up listening to the radio and the music my Mom played. Good thing she had great taste in music and a ton of records.

These Memories mixes are in approximate chronological order allowing for song choice, flow, mixing order, and keeping like songs in complimentary keys.

After each track I try my best to credit the underlying work and the year of its release.

I am a House DJ, so all of the tracks I have acquired over the years, be it vinyl or digital, are remixed at dance floor bpm.

Let me know what tracks are your favorites. Enjoy the white labels, remixes, and bootlegs that you won't find anywhere else.

DOWNLOAD IS ON.  Please share with family and friends.

Dedicated to my kids, Michael, and Charlotte. I hope they find joy in the music and fond memories of me and their own childhood in this collection.

Don't Sleep!!

DJ Matt e Starr - Memories vol. 1

This is the second of a multi-volume journey through my earliest musical memories.

I was born in 1969 and grew up listening to the radio. Once I got my own tape-deck I explored New Wave and Punk, while still inundated by popular music of the time.

These Memories mixes are in approximate chronological order allowing for song choice, flow, mixing order, and keeping like songs in complimentary keys. Most of these tracks landed when I was in Junior High.

After each track I credit the underlying work and the year of its release.

I am a House DJ, so all of the tracks I have acquired over the years, be it vinyl or digital, are remixed at dance floor bpm.

Thanks to the creators and remixers especially James Curd, Mike Dixon, Derrick Carter, Diz, Kaskade, Borkezmusic for polishing all those memories!

DOWNLOAD IS ON.  Share with family and friends.

Dedicated to my kids, Michael, and Charlotte. I hope they find joy in the music and fond memories of me and their own childhood in this collection.

These polished memories are from High School and early college years mostly. I went from a New Wave kid to a full on punk in these years. Had a Mohawk and loved Dead Kennedys but still woke up to the radio and MTV was going strong and playing only videos.  At Colgate I DJ'd for four years on WRCU alternative radio.

Memories vol. 5

DJ Matt e Starr - Memories vol. 5

This is the sixth of a multi-volume journey through musical memories from the last millennium.

These polished memories are from my College years mostly. I started DJing in 1987 at WRCU 90.1 FM at Colgate. I played (not mixed mind you) the best alternative vinyl, both domestics and imports.  I was a huge supporter of the Manchester sound from very far away.

I spent the summer of 1990 in NYC. My friends and I would regularly wind up at the Limelight - an old church all lit in green, converted to a club that played the best music. This was the Summer of Deee-Lite and the DJs (who I never thought to pay attention to) rocked my world, always deep and thumping, but mixing in hits of the time.

After each track I credit the underlying work and the year of its release.

Dedicated to my kids, Michael, and Charlotte. I hope they find joy in the music and fond memories of me and their own childhood in this collection.

Don't Sleep!!!
