January 2006 the SuperStarDjs launched FatLaces on Graffiti Radio. As a tribute to the golden era of hip hop, Fat Laces has proved to provide a much needed void in the entertainment market. Averaging close 20,000 downloads a month, Fat Laces is poised to explode the old school scene on a worldwide level.
Additionally, SuperStarDjs coordinates a monthly dj gathering, Sqratch Karnival. Over the past year the function has gained statewide respect as one of the premiere scratch session events and has featured some of the south's most talented dj artist.

Partnering with Rome Navarro’s B-Boy City the yearly world famous weekend long B-Boy conference and competition, held in Austin, TX every year, the 1st annual King of Scratch was launched with an outstanding turnout with 16 DJ’s going head to head and coming as far as Los Angeles to participate, judge, and as spectators, crowning Dj Nick Nack as the first ever King of Scratch.

Also, in 2007 the Superstardjs launched there sister radio show Unlaced Radio. Giving unsigned artist worldwide exposure, an outlet to where they can be heard, not having to submit to the norm in trying to get there music to the masses.

With Unlaced Radio fast gaining the success of FatLaces fame, Sqratch Karnival steady gaining in popularity and being hosted in other cities with the first being in San Antonio, TX and with the 2nd Annual King of Scratch fast on the horizon, 2008 looks to be an even better year for the Superstardjs, as they seek opportunities to perform at events, festivals, and clubs for there worldwide fan base, it looks like they will not be slowing down anytime soon.

  We coordinated the Blackilicious/Cut Chemist show at a great art house, turned some heads, released a new line of shirts---Big ups to all the artists that were a part of this , as it has already springboarded us to greater opportunities.
  Additionally we did the damn thing at Motive 807 with the GET UP art opening, thanks to the Superstar DJ's who presented the open turntable fiasco known as the Sqratch Karnival--shit was ill, as well as great performances by Group Therapy, V-Zilla, and Savvi--thanks to all that came out...and if you missed it , be sure to drop into the store (710 Brazos) as the art will be hanging until April 1st.
  
  Thanks to all that made these events possible, as well as a special shout to Matt Sonzala of Damage Control fame for hooking me and my lil sis up with a "cool" pass. haha
  yup
  be on the lookout for a lot more shows coming through, as we are currently planning three shows for the next two months--peace-

  Music Lab, Friday, Feb 2
  
  Turntables remain the cornerstone of club music. Much of the digital technology that’s supposedly supplanted the traditional wheels of steel merely replicates the two-decks-and-a-mixer model established by Grandmaster Flash three decades ago. At Music Lab’s Oltorf location, superstar DJs Spinner T, Crop Diggie, Rodney, and Mista Ed celebrate the art of turntablism by hosting this 13th in a series of bimonthly Sqratch Karnivals. Both workshop and party, this Friday night affair resuscitates the old school. – Robert Gabriel
