STAR SLINGER: BEAT MASTER
Other than amazing beats and good vibes, his style is a combination of "hyper soul sampling of Kanye West or Dipset producers Heatmakerz with a bubbling psychedelia reminiscent of J Dilla's spacier moments" like Ryan Dombal said.
Manchester native Darren Williams, best known as " Electronic/Instrumental hip-hop beat master" Aka Star Slinger, started with this project in April this year. As a talented Musician/Producer it didn't take him very long to finish it. Shortly by June, he had his first LP "Volume I" and currently working on his second record called: "Volume 2."
In a very short period of time, Star Slinger has become one of the favorite musicians for thousands of people, including myself. Can't wait to see what's next, although it's obvious he'll keep impressing his fans.
For those of you who haven't heard any of his music or want to read more about his bio, go to his site where you'll be able to download his music for free. And to listen to more of his tracks go to his Soundcloud page.

Luckily, He'll be touring the US along with BATHS and BRAIDS next year. Sadly, he won't be coming to South Florida. I still hope they add more dates to their tour, if not, I'll be flying to either Chicago or New York to attend to one of the concerts. Yes, It's THAT worth it.
