Soon thereafter he began deejaying at Club Harlem World and the Renaissance. Branching out to vinyl, Starski recorded his first single, "Positive Life", on Tayster records. Soon after he recorded the soundtrack to the 1986 film Rappin' on Atlantic Records before recording his first lp, House Rock, on Epic.
