It's a double music whammy for you today...Darren Williams, better known as Star Slinger, is a producer who I feel is finally getting the recognition and acclaim he deserves. The man could well be Manchester's answer to a british J Dilla; a sharply inventive musician who is a refreshing break from the plethora of poorly cut remixes and lazy sampling that has come to plague the hip-hop and R'n'B scene.
You would be hard pressed to trace many of the samples that Star Slinger uses, and it's that very difficulty that makes him so enjoyable to listen to - each track is so inventive and original against its source, that you can't help but be amazed.
From choppy hip-hop beats to the smoothest of slow-jam-esque grooves, there doesn't seem to be an area of the genre that he hasn't turned to gold.
His debut album, Volume 1, is available now for download on his website HERE.
Enjoy the wonderfully chirpy track Mornin' below.
