DJing at CiRCA Toronto this Friday

2009-03-04T15:00:00.000-08:00

If you're in Toronto you should come out to Circa this Friday. AD/D, Duvall, and Filthy&Gorgeous are all playing the main room with me.

Circa is great. It's a massive space ship of a club with 30 foot speakers and an elevated DJ booth that makes you feel like God, dropping basslines on the crowd like thunderbolts. Lets party, people

There's a real flyer but it's not that pretty so you get this photo of a girl's butt instead. Reminds me of summer...

Toronto Crew do the Badman Pull Up

NOW Magazine is doing a feature this week on the freshest up and coming producers in Toronto and apparently I'm one of them. Check out the article on Wednesday and more importantly come to the party on Friday at Circa.

Gobs the Zombie sent me this video of a blend he did of the original In Living Colour theme and my remix from last year. Pretty dope! Send me any STA related videos or blends or whatever, I always like hearing them

Cherry Cola Funk Lost Remix

2008-11-06T08:00:00.000-08:00

Some of you might remember this remix I did for the Philly band Hail Social. Well, I actually made another completely different version of Cherry Cola Funk at the same time (March '07) that never got released. It's a bit housier and more laid back compared to the other remix. I think I still like the one that got released better, but I also like this one and I figure the statute of limitations on it is over. Here it is:

Hail Social - Cherry Cola Funk (Sta discomputer remix)

Also, on a related note: The other harder version that made it onto the album wasn't the final mix! I would feel bad about posting it here since they're trying to sell it, but email me if you want the finished version that sounds a bit more polished and better.

September Mix Tape

Hey babies, new mixtape time. Now I usually give some shpeel here about how good the mix I'm posting is and that you need to download it and blah blah blah. Well for real this time, this is a good one and you need to check it out!

People have been talking lately about how electro-bangerz are getting really tired and I'm inclined to agree. Disco, bassline, electro rap, big room house, WHATEVER, there's all these buzzwords flying around between people trying to figure out what the next big trend will be in dance music. Well, I don't know, but this mix kind of sums up what I'm into these days. Also, check out a new track I'm working on part way through the mix. Hope you like it,

Love Sta

Friendly Edits (Part 1)

2008-07-27T14:22:00.001-07:00

Here are some Dj friendly edits I made of some poppy songs. I always end up making edits of tracks like this so I can mix with them a bit better, and I figure someone else will be able to use them too. Really though, this is just an excuse to post up some tracks I like and still say it's Sta related :)

MGMT - Kids (Sta DJ edit)

Flairs - Better than Prince (Sta DJ edit)

The Presets - My People (Sta DJ edit)

In the Mix Interview

2008-05-22T02:09:00.000-07:00

Touched down in Brisbane today. Did a bit of walking around, so far it reminds me a lot of Vancouver. Now I'm chilling in the hotel room getting ready to go out, listening to love in this club on repeat.

Here's a link to an interview I did for inthemix.com.au, the australian dance music site. Usually I'm terrible at interviews but I kind of like this one. Plus you can hear my deep and sexy baritone 'cause it's an audio stream.
