Starkillers - Discoteka (2006)

Nick Terranova & Austin Leeds, a.k.a. Starkillers, hail from Los Angeles, California. Nick began his career in music at a young age. He was first introduced to electronic music while growing up in New York City. Just like me when I lived over in the Big Apple for a very brief period, he would spend his nights at the world famous night - Limelight - listening to DJs as they made the dance floor come alive. He loved the control that the DJ had over the dance floor, amazed how the DJ could put people in such a state of mind that the they could shut off the music for minutes at a time only to hear people scream for more. Not long after Nick took up DJing and moved to Los Angeles.
Though not classically trained on piano, Nick started composing his own music and through strong will and determination, he managed to pick up the production aspect very quickly. Working in clubs like Arena and Does Your Mamma Know as a promoter and DJ, he thought moving from LA to Las Vegas might bring him more opportunity in the music and club scene. In Las Vegas he was joined by Alex, his brother and partner at the time. Together they started working for various clubs on the strip. Nick continued his music production and thought he would also try some singing. As time progressed, Nick felt there was a time for a new challenge and change of scenery. It was time to pack up and move to South Beach, Miami.
In Miami Nick continued to DJ, though it was in Miami where Nick was discovered in a night club and joined the Latin cross over group The Rio Boys, now known as The 5th Vision. He enjoyed the energy he experienced for performing for crowds of people at concerts, but to him the feeling did not compare to the environment that was created by the DJs at Limelight. He continued to tour with his group and after long thought, he needed to regroup and refresh which led him to Chicago where he began work Aura.

While living and working at Aura in Chicago, Nick got a call from his brother Alex who was still living in Las Vegas. Alex was working for a promoter and informed him of his brother’s talent. The promoter wanted Nick to audition as RA in The Luxor and off went Nick to perform. The promoter was impressed by Nick’s sound and felt it would be and was the next big thing in the Vegas club scene. The night of his audition, the promoter offered him a residency at the newest and biggest club on the west coast at the time: C2K in the Venetian. Nick began his career with C2K in 1999 and played at C2K five nights a week for crowds as big as 4,000 people. In July of 2000 the club was closed due to unfortunate circumstances. Nick started to work on his production and voice. He spent most of the next two years producing and working on projects for companies which in turn took him the big city of San Francisco.
After Moving to San Francisco, Nick Launched his first independent record label, Teknarok. Teknarok got major publicity in the dance music world. It was the spark that ignited Nick’s relationships in the music industry. Teknarok’s first release sold 3000 copies which is unheard of for a label with no distribution. Soon, and due to irreconcilable differences with prvate investors, Nick sold off Teknarok, but as they say, when one door closes another one opens: Nick, Alex, and their good friend Chris Vierra teamed up in 2002 to launch TerraTraxx Records. They came in contact with Mac Zimms. A relationship was established and Mac agreed to start producing for their label. A month later TerraTraxx was signed to Alpha Magic/BMG.

Lyrics:

Deep in the discoteka
These beats can make you wetta
I have the sex you want
I have the sex to flaunt

I rock my body hard
In this place to be
I make it hot dirty sexy
Can you please me

You sexy ladies
And nasty boys
Oh freaky freaking
To the robot noise

I wanna to rock your body
Body rocking to the beat
Electric rhythm
Pumping discoteka all over me

I rock my body hard
In this place to be
I make the beat go boom papi
