STAR SLINGER

Star Slinger is an Electronic project created by Nottinghamshire born Darren Williams. It all started in April 2010 when he re-ignited his love for record-shopping in Manchester’s Northern Quarter. The name Star Slinger was born when Darren sampled BT Express’ instrumental B Side “Cowboy Dancer”. He often names his creations with word association towards the sample he uses.

Most recently Slinger produced the new Air France single, which went big on the likes of Hype Machine, Pitchfork, Stereogum and Fact, adding a brilliant production string to his bow.

HOLY OTHER

Holy Other’s Debut EP ‘ With U’ was released worldwide in June 2011 on all formats (12”, CD & digital) to universal critical acclaim and currently holds a score of 82 on Metacritic. It was listed in Best of 2011 lists by the likes of Spin, Stereogum, URB, Gorilla Vs Bear, Dummy, The Guardian and XLR8R who actually made it their number 1 record of the year as well as making Holy Other their number 2 new artist of the year. The Album has received great radio support from Stuart Maconie, Rob Da Bank and Gilles Peterson who included ‘Touch’ in his best of the year radio show.

‘In all honesty, it’s hard to say a whole lot more about Holy Other and his music without sounding like gushing fanboys. Nevertheless, With U is an incredible record. Even with its dark and dour drones—which are incredibly intoxicating on their own merits—the EP is stuffed with tangible emotion, some of which is surprisingly bright and all of which is incredibly potent.’ – XLR8R

‘This is not dead music, but it’s perhaps as close as you can get without passing over. It is music with palpable warmth, not nearly as cold as your average techno track. With U is about that moment just in between life and death.’ – Tiny Mix Tapes

‘It’s a strangely affecting synthesis of sounds and marks Holy Other’s short debut out as a darkly oppressive but ultimately rewarding piece of work.’ – Pitchfork

‘Indie rock, R&B, electronic dance music, and hip-hop have all been converging in pretty fascinating ways lately, but Holy Other is on some whole other planet. This Berlin-via-Manchester producer’s debut EP blasts through not only genres, but the divide between the otherworldly and the physical.’ – Spin

Received great radio support from Stuart Maconie, Rob Da Bank and Gilles Peterson who included ‘Touch’ in his best of the year radio show.
