Princess Superstar
High-energy electroclash and satirical hip-hop that feels like a neon-soaked night out. Snarky, stylish, and built for the loudest part of the party.

Princess Superstar sounds like the smartest, most chaotic person at the after-party. Her music is a high-velocity collision of early 2000s electroclash, boom-bap hip-hop, and indie rock grit. It is characterized by sharp, often hilarious lyrics delivered with a mix of deadpan cool and frantic energy, all riding over distorted synths and heavy, club-ready drum machine patterns.
What makes her truly distinctive is her 'flip-flop' philosophy, a fearless blending of genres that predated the hyperpop and genre-fluid movements of today. She occupies a unique space where satirical commentary on celebrity and gender meets genuine underground credibility, collaborating with everyone from Kool Keith to The Prodigy. Her tracks often feel like a collage of pop culture references and dancefloor aggression.
Start with 'Princess Superstar Is' or the 'Bad Babysitter' single to get a taste of her peak satirical era. For those who want the full club experience, the DJ Mason mash-up 'Perfect (Exceeder)' remains a definitive document of the mid-2000s electro house explosion.
