Furthur Volume 1 - Craig Loosejoints Mix For Download

The latest in the mix series is, as The Who would say, a quick one. Mixed live in the process of procrastinating over other things, this is a mix of more leftfield sounds covering psych, oddball soundtracks, space-jazz and eastern beat from Craig Loosejoints. No tracklisting this time, but points for ones you can spot - Enjoy! Craig Loosejoints - Furthur Vol 1

The DT6 (Theme From) The Baden Persuader 45 - STARLA RECORDS + The DT6 & Starla All-Stars Live Dates

The DT6 (Theme From) The Baden Persuader 45 - STARLA RECORDS + The DT6 & Starla All-Stars Live Dates


First of all a huge thanks to everyone who has ordered the second Starla Release, The DT6's "(Theme From) The Baden Persuader", we've spent the last week sending copies across the globe and have recieved an incredible response from djs, collectors and music lovers alike.

We now have fewer than 80 copies left for sale, so please make sure and order your copy while you still can. Starla 1001 - The DT6 "Don't Doubt Me" is now completely sold out and its only a matter of time till the second 45 goes the same way.

In other news, The DT6 make their live debut proper on Friday 26 June supporting the legendary James Taylor Quartet in Glasgow's Old Fruitmarket as part of the Glasgow Jazz Festival. Tickets and info are available from www.jazzfest.co.uk

The band have been working hard in preparation for the show (there's nothing like playing alongside hammond funk legends to make you bring your A-game!) and will be debuting new material and playing the tracks from their two Starla 45s.

In other Starla live news at the Glasgow Jazz Festival, the label have been asked to host a night at the city's V-Club as part of the V-Jazz Fringe programme (www.myspace.com/vjazzglasgow). The Starla Djs Craig Reece (loosejoints) and Mark Robb (jazz-ned) will be spinning vintage funk and dancefloor jazz while the Starla-All-Stars will be performing live with special guests due to appear on the night. All this takes place this Saturday 20 June from 10.30pm for a measly £5.

DT6 Launch and more news.....

First up a massive thank-you to everyone from across the globe who has offered support and encouragement on the launch of Starla Records.

The DT6's debut 45 has certainly captured the attention of funk & soul collectors and djs around the world, and we're happy to announce that we have the band recording follow up material at the moment. We also have a few other irons in the fire for other releases, more details will be posted here soon...

In the meantime we have finally got around the sorting out a belated launch party for the DT6 single. Having a band made up of in-demand session players is great until you try to get them in a room at the same time!

The finalised date is Thurs 12 March at Glasgow's Rio Cafe on Hyndland Street from 8.00pm. The DT6 will be performing the tracks from the 45 and debuting a few new tracks, with some special guests due to appear with the band as well.

Demand for the first Starla single has been huge and we are now in a position where only the last few copies will be available on the night for the launch. You can still order copies through the site though, we will remove the link as soon as they sell out (which will be soon, so grab one while you can, we're not planning to re-press so once the 500 go thats it!).

Plans are afoot to release a download/mp3 version of the tracks through I-Tunes etc, again we'll post detials here when we have them.

Thanks again and please get in touch with any queries, comments, recipes etc - starlarecords (at) gmail.com
