"With her first record going top ten on Beatport, Gina Star is a name you will be hearing a lot of.”
–Mark Knight
Gina Star is a DJ and producer originally from Dallas, Texas. After moving to LA in 2006 to further her career, she was hailed by the LA Times and E! Entertainment as one of the most talented and sought after DJʼs in the city, and was welcomed into some of LAʼs most exclusive V.I.P. celebrity endorsed nightclubs playing her own special style of big room uplifting house.
Moving across the pond to the UK in 2009 to further her DJ & production career, Gina propelled herself into the limelight working with Toolroom Records and gaining support on her productions, notably Pete Tong spinning her Cirez D & Sunscreem mashup to the masses on his Radio 1 show.
Gina Star released ʻThis Is Hollywoodʼ which entered the Beatport Top 100 at #10, and #1 on the Progressive House chart. David Guetta featured it on his internationally syndicated F*** Me Iʼm Famous radio show. The track features the instantly recognizable vocal talent of Roland Clark preaching ʻWelcome to Hollywood, whatʼs your dreamʼ.
ʻI Want It Nowʼ debuted at WMC ʻ10, and uses the unmistakable hook from the legendary band Queen – I Want It All...& I Want It Now!!! Given the thumbs up from Queenʼs management via EMI, this project developed into a full release for Toolroom Records including a remix from Robbie Rivera. Tiësto featured the record on his International ʻClub Lifeʼ radio show and podcast, Judge Jules named it his ʻTried and Tested Tune of the Weekʼ on his Radio 1 show.
Gina has mixed several Toolroom Records compilations including the best selling ‘Miami 2010’ ‘Ibiza 2010’ ‘Miami 2011’ and ‘Best of 2011’. She also did an ad campaign for Gio-Goi Clothing, which was circulated throughout Europe.
Her remix of Tiësto and Mark Knight 'Beautiful World' was used by Tiesto in his Dj sets and on his radio show, and her remix of Chris Willis (David Guetta’s favorite singer/songwriter) “Too Much In Love” went to #4 in the Billboard Club chart; both are still getting radio spins around the world.
In 2012 she launched a self titled monthly Podcast which counts down her current top 10. The latter part of 2012 saw single releases of iWIN on Atlantic/Big Beat, Bliss on CR2 & Action, Tears, Bananular and U Don’t Love Me on new label LOI. She was featured on the front page of Beatport and heavily supported on radio shows around the world including BBC Radio 1, Capital FM, iHeart, Sirius & in club charts such as Music Weeks Coolcuts & DMC’s Buzz Chart.
Her track Midnight was featured in the Miami Buzz Chart & will be released in early 2013.
Gina's had single releases on Toolroom Records and Cr2 Records in UK & Eire, Vicious in Australia and New Zealand, NEWS in Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg, TIME Records in Italy, We Play in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, Family Tree Music in Scandinavia, Just Music in South Africa, Blanco Y Negro in Spain, Warner Bros in Israel, and Atlantic Records & Big Beat in North America.
MIDNIGHT is LA based Gina Star's first outing after a very busy 2012
A hot progressive house monster featuring a huge female vocal hook that
dramatically builds in the breakdown until the massive drop, cueing all
the confetti & Co2 canons to blow! Already on the USB sticks of a
few big name dis, 'Midnight' keeps Star at the forefront of female
DJ/Producers in dance music. With her recent releases on Toolroom, CR2
& Big Beat, 'Midnight' kicks off a year that will see a lot of
exciting new music. Expect this to be dropped at many upcoming WMC parties.

Dimitri Kechagias review: Gina Star is a real star in the global EDM scene and she is definitely on the rise. The superb talent is back to open the proceedings for a very busy year 2013. Midnight is a beautiful epic progressive house track with driving energetic basslines, bouncy pumping beats and great female vocals with strong lyrics that many ladies on the dancefloor can identify with them and can sing a long while they dance their night away and maybe cry a little too.If you look for the next massive progressive slammer that will charge with energy any clubfloor or openfloor don't look any further. Midnight is a well balanced production that packs all the needed elements to bring excitement and fuel the happiness without compromises. The hi-nrg synths appear in the breakdown and then lead to its climax without to overload the track with excessive euphoria that sometimes can even burn the tracks. Midnight is upfront and ready to win the hearts of thousands. I suggest to add an instrumental or dub version as well for the non vocal lovers. It sounds a WMC conference favorite. Love IT!
