“One of the most exciting production duos to emerge in 2011”
Toddla T
Since forming at the beginning of the year, Star One, two brothers from Kent, have emerged from obscurity to quickly create a name for themselves in the production world. Having racked up hundreds of thousands of YouTube hits with their remixes of the Rastamouse theme tune and Jamie Woon’s ‘Lady Luck’, their skill has not gone unnoticed. The pair now has official remixes for Island Records, Ministry of Sound, and Polydor Records under their belt. Tipped to follow in the successful footsteps of fellow production duos Nero and Chase and Status, the Star One pair are set to release their first offering ‘The Star-One EP’ on the 26th September through Carrot Records. The EP was part recorded in the prestigious Red Bull Music Academy studios in London.
The EP features production collaborations with UK heavyweight Toddla T, a guest verse from Manchester rapper Faro and the delicate tones of up and coming vocalist Sarah Lillie. The EP celebrates diverse elements of the UK Underground scene by fusing Garage, Grime, House and Hip Hop influences with their trademark use of chopped samples and subtle basslines. ‘Bagz’ – a silky, catchy up front vocal garage number – is the lead single of the EP. ‘Slow Down’, ‘Visions’ and the Toddla T co-produced UK Funky stomper ‘Power Riddim’ have proved very popular with Club DJ’s.
