Star Eyes

Los Angeles' Warp Mode takeover means breakbeats, old school rave nods, and the collective memory of warehouse parties we're too young to have attended. Star Eyes' DJ set at Keep Hush Live: Los Angeles is that beautiful mess where hardcore meets humor, and we're all sweating through our vintage tees. The vibe is gritty, with DIY visuals and a sound system that rattles bones, pure West Coast underground energy. Averaging 142.9 BPM with a range of 140-150, this set leans into breakbeat and hardcore, using keys like 3B and 7A to create a raw, energetic flow.

The balance is low at 0.5756, mid at 0.3313, high at 0.0924, focusing on punchy kicks and chopped breaks that keep the floor moving. Mixing is aggressive, with quick cuts and samples that pay homage to rave culture, while harmonic shifts add surprise. Standout tracks include NGKS's 'Embrazado Embrazadão' as the opening, a percussive beast, and Tiësto's 'Adagio for Strings' in a 10-minute version for that trancey, emotional detour. Krome & Time's 'This Sound Is For The Underground' is a classic jungle anthem, while The Prodigy's 'Out of Space' as the closing track brings it all home with iconic rave energy.

Samurai Breaks & Private Caller's 'Power Hour' adds a modern breakbeat twist, and Q-Bass's 'Deepa' dives into darker territories. It starts with 'Embrazado Embrazadão', peaks with the anthemic 'Adagio for Strings', and closes on the riotous 'Out of Space', a full tracklist that's a love letter to breakbeat culture.
