STAR EYES

WHO ARE YOU?

My name is Star Eyes. You can call me Vivian if we know each other. I live in an industrial part of Brooklyn. I'm best known for being a DJ and 1/4th of the Trouble & Bass crew. I am also known for, in no particular order: using weird slang, dancing a lot, carrying Sharpies wherever I go, wearing hot pink pants, making dirty jokes, drinking Maker's Mark, and thinking puppets and lemurs are funny.

WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN UP TO LATELY?

In the last few months, I released the Disappear EP on Trouble & Bass (as well as a video that's up at troubleandbass.blogspot.com) and a remix of Michna (on Ghostly). Lately, I'm working on writing more songs and staying cool.

WHAT DO YOU HAVE COMING UP?

Got an L.A. installment of our Trouble & Bass party coming up August 14th, then a T&B Euro tour with myself and The Captain in September, before we come home and celebrate three years of Trouble & Bass with Skream & Benga (September 19, Le Poisson Rouge, NYC)! So basically I am partying until winter, then I will cuddle up to my Mac and hibernate.

WHAT MUSIC ARE YOU INTO RIGHT NOW?

Right now, I'm on a sort of goth tropical vibe. On the new end: minimal house, UK funky, grime, spooky dubstep. On the classics tip: Happy Mondays/Madchester stuff, old Roll Deep mixtapes, Mount Sims' Wild Light album, Caustic Window, nature sounds (oceans and rain mostly).

WHAT ARE YOU FEELING RIGHT NOW?

Summer obsessions include:
* Finding the best tacos around where I live and eating them repeatedly. Lately, I can be found Papacito's in Greenpoint for their $1.50 taco happy hour. Their seitan tacos are amazing. I also rate La Superior in Williamsburg (though their tacos are crazy small) and Taco Chulo.

* Watching Durrty Goodz freestyles. Amazing. I love his crazy eye.

* I am not all ComicCon or whatever but I really enjoy reading the Masters of the Universe character wiki.
