Star Slinger makes Mavis Staples smile with Remix of "Let's Do It Again".

Unauthorized samples sometimes can lead to legal proceedings, but in the case of Darren Williams in Manchester, aka, Star Slinger, is a formula for success.

The twenty - something hybrid hip-hop producer borrowed the voice of legendary gospel singer Mavis Staples for a song on his blog - many on the album 'Volume 1' and, to his surprise, received the praise of the artist itself.

"His manager played the remix I did of 'Allows for Do It Again' [the staple food of the sisters] and she really liked it! Williams tells Spinner. "It should try to sue me or something, but it is not."

Williams - who is often compared to J Dilla but sees himself more consistent with Planet-Mu-affiliated DJ Rashad producers and DJ Nate since "J Dilla is data" - is not exactly an amateur when it comes to cooking based on the sample of tracks or the other.

"I had just finish my university degree in music technology, and I was doing the music for the hell of it," he said. "I started the continuous record shopping and sampling actively records because, prior to my studies, I never had the courage to do before.". My education taught me about many good music and sampling, so I've given all kind of. It was something, that I had to do. »

Although he found the trance music from the releasing of success, Williams was soon reinforced outside this scene. "I've ceased to dance music and went with influence hip-hop and soul, rather than play that I heard the weekend;" Star Slinger is intentionally something totally different from what was there at the time.

He added: "I never thought that I might be forever sampling", "I like to create my own songs too."

Although it is not entirely sold on a life of sampling, Williams could have poorly to reinvent itself seen how, in the application, it has become on the circuit of remix. Last year, he gave his touch to Broken Social Sceneof the 'Texico Bitches', Go ! The teamthe "Apollo Throwdown" and Toro Y Moi' New Beat, "just to name a few." While touring with artists of small groups such as bathroom and execution of repeat concerts at the legendary club of fabric of London opened for him doors in terms of collaborations.

"Not all those that I love my music but there are a fair few people that do, and I am very pleased that", says Williams. "I am really in the South of the rap as Three6Mafia, juicy J and Project Pat, so it's pretty cool that the 2800 Pack Stunnaman contacted saying me: he wants to do me him a mixtape.".
