On Bollyhood Bass, Starfire continues to mix up sounds from India and the Middle East with bass driven electronics, dubstep, dance-hall, hip hop & breaks, in the singularly unique manner that has made him a favorite of the BBC Asian radio network and at festivals such as Coachella, Love Parade, Electric Picnic, Shambhala, Burning Man, Lightning in a Bottle and Earthdance. It is a sound that is both familiar and utterly unique: a world-electro fusion that nods to the Asian Underground movement and neo-bhangra while ultimately sounding like nothing except David Starfire.
'Bollyhood Bass' by David Starfire
David Starfire's Bollyhood Bass is set to release January 12, 2010. In 2007, as part of the Six Degrees Emerging Artist" Series, David Starfire released the five-track Bombay Beatz (a Six Degrees digital-only EP), a brilliant excursion in pan-ethnic electronica and something of a manifesto for his particular musical vision. Now, in the wake of collaborations and remixes for such artists as Freq Nasty, N.A.S.A., Mochipet & Sub Swara, his first full-length, Bollyhood Bass refines and develops that vision further.
