About me:

Dave Starsign is a professional graphic designer living and working in Austin, Texas. He is probably better known as DJ Starsign and recognized for his eclectic, soulful dj sets that encompass everything from afrobeat, house, hip hop, future soul, and associated musical styles. Beginning his career as a dj/co-host on the underground hip hop show, "The B-Side", with fellow hip hop aficionado/dj-turned-producer, Nicknack, Starsign's ear for music and curiousity for interesting sounds quickly saw him expand beyond his hip hop and funk dj roots.


Djing became a creative outlet where he connected the dots between different music genres from various eras. Unlike most djs at the time, Starsign found it difficult stick to one "sound". Whether this is due to looking forward to the challenge of blending different styles of music, an extension of his ADD personality, or just plain curiosity, Starsign has always tried to match beats in more interesting and unpredictable ways.


This stems back to his spiritual mentors like Prince Paul and the Dust Brothers who were sampling everything from The Eagles to Johnny Cash to Steely Dan alongside obscure funk masters to create rap classics. Citing Gilles Peterson, Benji B, and DJ Shadow as contemporary dj influences, Starsign sees djing as an artform and a way to expose audiences to quality music without limitations.
