Volume three of the Starla Mix CD series is now available in the shape of "Jukebox Jazz" selected and mixed by Starla's own Craig Loosejoints. A mix of jazz tracks with an eye on the dancefloor, this is a mix of 45s and LP tracks both well known and obscure, with the emphasis on a personal selection of favourites. Down load with cover art here - Craig Loosejoints - Jukebox Jazz

Hot Hot Hot!!!!!!!!!!!!

First of all we're now down to the last box of copies of "(Theme From) The Baden Persuader", thats about 20 copies so please don't hesitate if you're wanting a copy, cos we ain't re-pressing (unless you're going to order 300 or something).

We've also been working away at Starla HQ (aka "The Barn") our heavily fortified Glasgow studio, in the last week with the latest label artistes "The Star-Las". Less of a jazz tribute to Scouse-songsters of the nineties, more of a three-headed R&B/boogaloo monster bearing drums, guitar and TWO Hammond organs. Sessions have gone extremely well so far and new music will be unveiled very soon, to be first to hear about it, email us at starlarecords (at) gmail.com and we'll keep you in the loop.

No new artwork as yet, but to keep the page from being a mass of text, heres a pic from the recent DT6 show at the Old Fruitmarket with JTQ as part of the Glasgow Jazz Festival

Radio Friendly Unit Shifter

We're really humbled by the fantastic responses we've received for the new single and its been getting radio play and support from some of our favourite shows as well, which is a real compliment, especially being played alongside the likes of Brother Jack McDuff and Jimmy Smith, esteemed company indeed for hammond lovers!

Catch last week's edition of "God's Jukebox" on Radio 2 with host Mark Lamarr (our favourite radio show since John Peel was last on air) and play again on I-Player here

and closer to home, BBC Radio Scotland's own "Jazz House" from last week is here

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.

(Theme From) The Baden Persuader - Now In Stock!!!!!!!

The 45s are now in stock. Cut loud and with clear label artwork, we're very pleased with them.

To everyone who has pre-ordered, your copies will be mailed in the next 24 hours and should be with you soon. We have been swamped with requests and positive feedback and are delighted at the reception for our 2nd single.
