Ep 249 - Suka - Star Garden NYE 2025 - Starlight Thursdays Episode 249

Starlight Thursdays Episode 249 Welcome Suka to the series! We did a little interview to get a glimpse behind the scenes and better acquainted. When did you get into DJing? I started off practicing and messing around with it when i was 18-20. The last two years I’ve focused on professional shows and playing residencies. Why did you get into it? I fell in love with it at a young age when my cousin was djing in new york city. The festival scene was always something amazing to me. Seeing so many people come together and share music.  What events have you played? I’ve Preformed in Missoula Pride 2025, Maggot Fest the last two years, headlined at Tipsup, Big Sky, I’ve had the pleasure to open for Nostalgix, Luci, SoDown, Pushloop, Maddy O’Neal and provide direct support for Mr.Bill. It’s been a wild journey. Where are you from? New Jersey/ NYC but currently in the University district, Missoula  What inspires you to DJ?  The way I connect with music is like no other, it takes me away from day to day anxieties, and brings me to a reality i never want to leave. Especially when I am able to make a connection with a room full of people and have a moment where we are one, seeing smiles, laughter and dancing is something i never want to be without.  What inspires you about electronic music culture? I think for me it’s how exciting and diverse the electronic music culture can be, an area that continues to grow and theres no stopping it. Can you tell us few words about this mix?   It’s a blend of some saucy bass and tech beats recorded on NYE. I went on the decks at 1am, the energy of the room was good and we all just danced together to house music. I played tracks from GENESI, Simon Kidzoo, Matt Sassari, Biscits and Joshwa to name a few. Super fun. Really appreciated ringing in the new year with our community in such a high energy way. We Loved having Suka join us at NYE Star Garden and exited to share the recording of this joyous celebration that takes us back to that unforgettable night.
