Run the Night: A Flyover Comedy Festival Afterparty with Trackstar the DJ

About Trackstar the DJ

Best known for his prolific mixtape & radio work, and as the tour DJ for Killer Mike and Run the Jewels, Trackstar the DJ has been fortunate to travel the world playing music he loves, working and performing with many of the greatest artists in hip hop since his start behind the turntables on college radio in St Louis in 1999.

Trackstar built a reputation for creativity and consistency by releasing nearly two hundred mixes including collaborations with Royce da 5’9, Big Boi, Lupe Fiasco and other legends. His work with the elite online tastemaking team The Smoking Section and a constant presence on radio (currently, SiriusXM’s Shade45, every Friday night since 2017) helped him develop a significant following. Track continues to be on the road, playing for crowds across the globe performing including Bottlerock, Dusk, Adult Swim Festival, Boiler Room and more.

In 2011, Trackstar became the official tour DJ for Killer Mike, and then in 2013 for the supergroup with El-P, Run the Jewels, which has never done a show with any other DJ. They have toured all over the world, playing most major festivals and venues including Madison Square Garden, Coachella, Glastonbury & Lollapalooza, & several late night television appearances. In 2024, he and Killer Mike performed with the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center.

As an entrepreneur, his RAP FAN clothing brand and Give Up the Goods hip hop swap meet are born of the kid from Wisconsin who collected and studied hip hop albums like his life depended on it. He considers it a true honor to have performed with artists he admires and is influenced by, having shared the stage with DJ Shadow, Nas, Zack De La Rocha, Gza, Ghostface Killah, Raekwon, DJ Q-Bert, Z-Trip, Travis Barker to name a few.
