Local SupportDJ titanJohnny FunkraydarShaolinDJ YoshLizard lounge PresentsStarkillerswww.starkillersmusic.comFormerly known as Nick Terranova, Las Vegas talent Starkillers has been cutting a swathe through the bolshier end of the global house music scene over the last few years with his tough-edged, eclectic sound. Blending big hooks and riffs, soaring vocals, thumping beats and mind-bending effects trickery, his sound is the perfect blend of high-octane, fierce energy and accessible appeal. Its truly at home amidst the contemporary sound of cutting-edge dance music.Im A.D.D he explains of the hyperactive nature of his music. I know people always say that, but I really am. I really try not to sound like anyone else or copy anyone. Whats the point in being in this biz if all your gonna do is try and sound like someone else? I do what I think is cool and dont really care what people think. Youre either a fan or youre not.Its not about subtlety or tradition; instead its a question of pushing technology and sound to their limits, and creating in-your-face tracks with plenty of charisma and attitude. Theres nothing mundane going on here. Pitch bending leads, rugged bass, mind-warping FX, huge builds and drops; everything in a Starkillers track is designed for maximum impact on the dancefloor, and his potent blend of electro house groove and sharp trance-laced breakdowns has seen his records signed to huge labels including Doorn, Ultra and Spinnin.I really just try to make my sound as crazy as I can with out being too far left that people dont get it he says. I try not to pigeonhole myself into one genre so I can change easily and so that it doesnt come as a shock to my fans when I evolve. Its that versatility and open-mindedness that should see him continue to flourish and succeed for years to come, and that will ensure he outlasts less-imaginative peers.
