only in toronto, canada do west london, detroit, sao paolo and new
york blend together so smoothly. a good example is toronto's
dupont street where different cultures interact; different forces
come together to produce something new. it's only fitting that
moonstarr's latest solo release dupont is dedicated to the street
itself.
dupont, a double 12" vinyl release, features broken beats,
techno, bossa nova, and hip hop production styles. drawing on
influences from around the world and the emerging west london
broken beat scene, moonstarr forges his own identity creating a
new and unique sound along the way.
bossa and hip hop laced tracks such as "dust" and "duplex" have
already been well-received on dance floors at moonstarr's live
performances and dj gigs. techno and broken beat inspired tracks
like 'workin man's hustle' and 'interplanetary thoughts in flight'
combine smooth melodies and frenetic beat programming with
moonstarr's patented synthesizer solos. creating a diverse
musical landscape, moonstarrÆs dupont will keep your head and feet
bouncing while attacking you on a deeper level.
moonstarr first stepped on the scene in 1997 with hexed, an
innovative 10" ep on wha?naut records. the three moonstarr tracks
ranged from drum 'n bass to hip-hop and beyond. after the release
of the hexed ep, moonstarr saw a lull in the electronic music in
toronto. with few outlets for his music and the music of his
peers, he co-founded his own record label, public transit
recordings.
in the past three years, public transit recordings has released
two full-length compilation cds showcasing canada's advancing
electronic music as well as lal's critically acclaimed debut
'corners' full length album. now p.t.r. architect moonstarr
re-emerges into the spotlight with dupont. according to
moonstarr, "the album is a broken-down musical expression about
the culture of the city and the lives in it."
