STAR EYES Star Eyes is the first lady of Brooklyn wreckin’ crew, Trouble & Bass and has been in the DJ game for around fifteen years now. Originally a successful drum and bass DJ, Star Eyes moved onto pastures new, and now dominates the heavy bass scene with style and ease. Her debut ‘Disappear’ EP (co-produced with Drop The Lime) was released on T&B in 2009, and is a testament to a genre that she likes to call ‘Haunted House’. Fingers crossed that a UK tour is on the agenda for 2010 because I’m telling you now...this girl will get you demented on the dancefloor. Dagga o’clock!
COOLY G Who else to choose than producer and vocalist extraordinaire Merissa ‘Cooly G’ Campbell? Yeah, so there are a few other female producers making waves in the UK at the moment, especially in this minimal dubstep ‘love-step’ whatcha-ma-call-it scene. But it’s Cooly G who does it for me. Her 2009 Hyperdub release ‘Love Dub’ is one of those tunes that gives you that rare tingle the first few times you hear it. Complete with Cooly’s heartfelt vocals, it’s like canned beauty in a track – mutant funky vibes and dubstep’s last dance all rolled into one. Amazingly, Cooly G is also a single mother and a semi-pro footballer. Girl Power indeed!
