star slinger // iv + teams vs. star slinger


 
Star Slinger not only reps Manchester, UK but he does his damndest to rep a groove regardless of its country of origin. And he doesn’t just fiddle faddle around. His is a labor of love, respect and appreciation for the material. Listen, as he breathes new life into both old and new school music across a plethora of genres whilst creating present day classics right before our very ears. No, its not magic. Just mad talent.

IV is his latest, as the Roman numerals indicate, it is four tracks representing Star Slinger in his element.

Also, check out the Star Slinger vs. Teams vinyl release. This one is an all day sonic sucker seemingly without limitations (or loss of flava’). But what makes this one especial is how it was made. This is an online collaboration between producers Star Slinger (reppin’ the UK)  and Teams (standing loud and proud for the US). This platter is not only a display of the-without-borders mentality, but in addition it showcases the synergy that is tapped into when phenomenal personalities team up and move the possibilities forever forward. Although the music is mined from samples spanning R&B and modern soul classics, it is reworked and revived into a matrix of hip-hop rhythms and the results are sunshiny eargasms galore. The end product is stultifying and mind-numbing. This is the ultimate homage to the oldies but goodies, and in no way diminishes what was, but instead it is a salute and the proverbial hats off. Peace. Continue reading “star slinger // iv + teams vs. star slinger”

no joy // hare tarot lies + official music video

Last month (April) the perennially melancholy Pop anti-stars No Joy released their No Pleasure LP. And now there’s a video for the track Hare Tarot Lies, and it’s a rainbow swirl delivered in a constant drug-laden stream on consciousness. The music sound like a hybrid channeling Ian Curtis and the Cocteau Twins, and I like that a lot. This one will leave wanting to check into rehab. Peace.
