Starlight Thursdays Episode 220 featuring a live recording of Shane Dee from The Zebra on 5/11/24.

Something funny happened to him when he plugged his music into the decks.. it’s happened to me too. The music wasn’t there! Fortunately PRICERIGHT had his music running and was cool with Shane selecting from his collection. That’s what homies are for! Shane dug in and found techno he was stoked to play and I think you’ll be stoked to hear this gem.

-BK Love-

If you missed that night, it’s not too late to catch him live this weekend at Everland.

Starlight Thursdays Episode 218 Welcome CYNDR to the series!!!

Pronounced “Cinder” has been DJing Since 1998. That’s like 25 years!!!

He’s performed at Metro Club in Riverside CA from 1998-1999, and various underground events in Pasadena/LA, Coachella pre/after-parties from 2000-03, as well as various raves in Dallas, Houston and Asheville . He had a residency at Lizzard Lounge for 3 years before moving to Montana and playing our local festival circuit.

You may have known him as Newton’s 7Fold before he changed his name to CYNDR.

Here’s a little interview with the man himself:

Why do you DJ? 

It’s in my soul. I can’t not.

What inspires you about electronic music culture?

Always been a nerd, outcast and lived by my rules. The EDM scene, so far, has had the kind of similar minded people with personalities that cater to nurturing relationships that mean more than a simple acquaintanceship.

What genres are in this mix? 

House 

Please tell us a little about it?

I recently fell back in love with some older tracks by Oliver Huntemann & Dubfire, so I decided I’d start there.

Who are some of the artists in your mix?

Stephan Bodzin
Oliver Huntemann
Dubfire
Anne Clue

Hozho

Paul Rich

Deniz Bull

Black Hertz

Amelie Lens

Julian Jewel

It goes without saying we’re beyond grateful to share his art with you!

Hope you enjoy this mix and catch his live performances or radio show.

Starlight Thursdays Episode 217, One of your favorite foxes is back with another epic mix. DJ HNNH brings the punch in this knockout recording. Sure to keep you on your toes, bobbing, weaving and coming back for more. Like most of you have experienced, it was love at first sight when I bumped into them behind the decks. Every trip they make to Missoula had our crew rallying to the sound they push through the speakers. This weekend is no different. You better believe we’ll be getting down at Conflux for the Pride after party to DJ HNNH’s and MumbleBees back to back heavy hitting beats. Definitely hope to see you there!!!

Starlight Thursdays Episode 216 welcome back Mimsy!

This mix is from my headlining set at Rainbowdrip. This was my birthday set, which made for a very memorable night. I included a few original and unreleased

tracks as well as some of my favorite bangers. This mix starts with midtempo,

flows into some heavy bass, then brings it back with high energy. This is the studio version of the live set.

Starlight Thursdays Episode 215 Welcome

Mr Matthew to the series!

Originally from northern Georgia he made the move to Montana around 10 years ago. After going to a small house party entertained by a dj he fell in love with mixing and knew what he wanted to get into. His passion for this culture and our community stood out to me. I invited him to join the Starlight Reunion admin team shortly after we got to know each other. He has so much ambition to not only throw parties but inspire safe spaces to let loose in. I’m beyond overjoyed to share this recording of his. Not only is it the first in our series, but it’s also the first recording he’s made public. You may have heard him play at Bassmonsters , FC5, Montambhla/CMMF and the club nights at the Zebra and Monks. If not you’ll have the chance to catch him live at Montopia or his passion project Everland. He’s gone above and beyond booking shows for our resident artists and community. This summer is looking absolutely stacked and we owe a bunch of that to Mr Matthew.

-BK Love-

DJing and dance parties are very therapeutic to me. It’s how I managed getting through my divorce. It led me to my true soulmate. Knowing the connections that are being made and the happiness being spread while I play is so rewarding and fulfilling. I love being part of the SR fam and what we represent. Super excited to see where we are in 5 years as a whole. There is so much going on in the group! I couldnt be more proud of all the folks that are a part of our crew! It’s been busy times for our group, proud to see it coming together.

Starlight is really helping expand my music opportunities and skill set and im truly grateful. The access to knowledge, gear, and connections has been priceless and just want you to know theres a reason ive been wearing my SR shirt every time i play, I’m so proud of that logo, what it represents and who is part of it. It’s like a badge of honor. Hope you enjoy this mix and looking forward to seeing y’all on the dance floor.

Starlight Thursdays Episode 214 featuring a live recording from BK Love's recent visit to Building Wo-Man at the Jenkstar Ranch in the deep deserts of Utah.

This was my first time checking out the burner rave scene in Utah. I’ve been hearing about the legendary desert raves out there for over decade and had yet to experience it for myself. It was like i stumbled across an encampment of burners that broke down on the voyage home from the big burn and just decided to stay. Art cars and big sound systems surround by canyon cliffs and painted dunes adorned with big permenent sculptures, domes and wooden buildings seemingly put together from piles of junk and found objects. It was fucking perfect. I felt fortunate to make some new friends with a sound system and love for House and Techno. They called themselves Dirt camp. After dancing from one party to another they invited me to play a daytime set at their bus. We busted a move on the dirt floor in the sunshine and couldn’t be happier. Hope you guys enjoy this mix as much as we did! Love y’all

Starlight Thursdays Episode 213 Welcome WAY ØUT to the series!

We put together a short interview to get to know a little more about them.

How long have you been DJing? 

2 years

Why did you get into it?

Attended an Illenium festival at the Gorge in Washington and saw John Summit and James Hype in Vegas, and knew that I wanted to pursue DJing, and hopefully make a career out of it.

What events have you played?

I have played several birthday parties, as well as a couple times at Bozeman bars(Pour House, Bar IX, and Rocking R). My favorite set I played was at the Club Zebra for an open deck night.

Where do you live? 

Bozeman, MT

Where are you from originally?

Breckenridge, CO

What inspires you to DJ? 

I love to bring music to people, and play songs that people love and enjoy. I also am very passionate when I perform my sets. I strive to get everyone around me engaged with the music, and give people a fun and memorable experience that they will always remember and find happiness in for years to come.

What inspires you about electronic music culture?

The camaraderie of electronic music is so inspiring, as it is so inclusive. It gives me, as well as many others, an escape from the hustle and stress of the world, and allows for me to let go and just enjoy the company of like minded people.

What genres are in your mix? 

Stutter House, Alternative, Melodic House, and EDM

A few words about your mix?  

This mix is a compilation of many songs and artists that have impacted my life in so many ways. It is meant to be a journey through a handful of genres and electronic music styles that represent my passion and love for electronic music and simply music as a whole. Whether it be an artist original, or a remix of a popular nostalgic hip hop song. I also try to incorporate different mixing styles, from Fred again..’s complex and thorough mixes, to John Summit’s classic festival style mixes.

Thank you to everyone at Starlight Reunion for giving me this opportunity to share my mix and dj skills with the world! I really hope this mix takes off and that this won’t be the last mix I make for you all!
