Blaqstarr is back! We've dusted off 4 of the heaviest unreleased tracks from the Supastarr era here and brought them into the light with brand new mixing and mastering. You might have come across these over the years but these new versions are super crisp and loud, doing justice to four classic tracks that were previously only available as low quality mp3s. Lose your mind all over again with "Hands Up Thumbs Down,” “Lemme Hump U,” "Feel It In The Air" and "Slide To The Left.”

Notes from Diplo:
Blaqstarr was the first US artist I released on Mad Decent. He might have been one of the reasons I started the label. Bmore club was this faceless, crazy, frenetic and scary dance music, not unlike the city itself. I thought Blaqstarr was the real star of this world. Almost a decade ago, many times I traveled down to Baltimore and sat in Blaqstarr and his brother's house, guns peeking out under the mattresses, blunt wrappers everywhere, computer guts laid out on what might have been a shelf turned into a desk, loose weights and blank cds all over the carpet. Blaqstarr would make his music with no chorus or verses, just chants, curses, girls screaming "Blaqstarr" and other random ideas thrown on the track - sounding the same way his brother's house looked. There's no rhyme or reason, it's like the ghetto spontaneously combusted into music. If Bmore was a full fledged music scene, then Blaqstarr was Hunter S Thompson. While most producers were making records for the radio, Blaqstarr was making a soundtrack to murder people with by using a screaming Lil Jon sample played like a piano. Oh and did I mention he could sing and in a crazy falsetto like Al Green. These are some of the records that got lost from that era before Hype Machine. We want to document what the real Bmore sound was about.

DJ Jayhood is one of the most important producers from the second generation of Jersey Club.

A regional form of dance music that evolved from Baltimore Club after artists like DJ Tameil started putting their own twists on B-more drum breaks and kick patterns, Jersey Club is one of the most influential and imitated dance styles in the world today. Dance music powerhouses (Diplo, Skrillex, Cashmere Cat) and underground taste-makers (Sinjin Hawke, Her Records) alike have been openly inspired by its raw, sample-driven sound and the dance moves that accompany the songs (such as the recent Running Man Challenge) regularly take on lives of their own.

Although he’s not received the same international DJ bookings as a club producer as some of his peers, DJ Jayhood is one of the most respected and popular Jersey artists in and outside of the state. His remixes of dance classics like ‘Show Me Love’ and ‘Heartbroken’ have racked up millions of plays online, while original productions like ‘Hands on Ya Hips’, ‘Jersey Anthem' and ‘Patty Cake’ are considered all-time Jersey dance classics. He’s also built a successful sideline as a rapper and hip-hop/r&b producer through his production work for Sharaya J and Missy Elliott, and coined his own sub-genre of Jersey Club called Booty Bounce Music (or BBM).

On King, Local Action collects Jayhood’s greatest hits - many of which already have legendary status on Soundcloud and YouTube, but have never been officially released before - with a handful of unreleased tracks from his ridiculous archive of demos. Amazingly, it’s one of the first ever albums from one of Jersey Club’s key players, and although to understand the real context of the music it’s important to trawl YouTube for the dance contests and home-made videos that are so key to Jersey Club, the raw power of these tracks stands up in its own right.
