A remix of an iconic pop classic, the groove on this track is meant to channel moist summer air charged with thunder and lightning. It should have all your AOR disco early warning lights flashing red.

Rhiannon (The Starkiller's Second Hand Disco Remix)

Ghetto Disco is by far one of the funkiest disco tracks I know, and I only found out about it last week. I had to do something with this... Enjoy!

I'm Melting (The Starkiller's Calippo Remix)

If you’re looking for a chuggin' good time just below and above the 100bpm mark you’re in the right place!

I've been messing around with electronic music since early age, and along the years I've built up quite a portfolio of tracks. Some released, but many more (hundreds? thousands?) patiently sitting on the shelf, waiting for a bit of TLC and polish.

This two hour selection gives you an eclectic range of my downtempo remixes (released as The Starkiller) and some original material (as my alter egos Che Guerrilla and Super Hans), building up from the early 2000s to now. Some of these have never been released before, others didn’t make the cut (yet) - if you like this, be on the lookout for Volume 2!

It's All Gone (The Starkiller's Extended Yacht Party Rework)

Diamonds on the Souls of her Shoes (The Starkiller Edit)

I wanted to do a big, spacey, cosmic-themed disco version of this classic. Here's the result, 8 minutes 53 seconds in all. It's like you're a big interstellar spaceship pumping through the star-sprangled void.

Take On Me (The Starkiller's Rum & Coke Aha-Erlebnis) [192kbps]

The original brings up very dreamy visions. I tried to amplify this by adding lots of echos and reverbs.

Life's What You Make It (The Starkiller's Space Remix)

FINALLY. After hours of tweaking and subtle stereo panning I couldn't stand it anymore... So here it is for you. Not exactly a pure disco track but it's got square enough corners to dance to. ENJOY

[P.S. still contemplating "enable download" so in the meantime please be patient and check back often :) ]
