A new night is arriving to Sheffield, a new night to be excited about. That night is Quality Control.

While the musical landscape changes at an ever increasing rate one thing remains the same – good music is good music.

Quality Control’s mission statement is to bring exciting and innovative acts to the intimate setting that is the Harley Hotel.

The Launch Night lands on the 31st May 2013 and the very first guest is none other than bass don/hip hop chief/reggae master – J*STAR.

J*STAR escaped a major record label and made classic reggae/hip hop nuggets on limited 7” vinyl, they then made it into record boxes of worldwide DJ’s Norman Jay, David Rodigan, Grandmaster Flash, John Peel, Benji B & Diplo.

Nowadays the man does official remixes (over 60 productions for Major Lazer, Madness, DJ Vadim, The Black Seeds, Ari Up, Mark Ronson & more) and DJs globally from Mexico to Manchester, Denmark to Delhi and now sunny Sheffield.

J*STAR is an original don that helped inspire the Major Lazer crew! Bad man! – Diplo

Always good to have a J*STAR moment – Daddy G (Massive Attack)

Support on the night comes from Andy H, Arnivore, Clipboard and resident DJs The Quality Controllers.

The support DJs can certainly pack a punch as well…
