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.".

Tyler Posey heats up to a set of All - Gray with 100-watt smile

Now that we have tyler posey, our teen wolf wolfy hot dudes trilogy is complete. OMNOMNOM. And Wolf Teen itself proves that grey from head to foot does not have to be dull - especially when you have pearlescents white also brilliant as his own. When we spotted him uh-dorbs looking at Comic-Con, we literally could not avert our eyes. "We just kept whispering, Is this real life?"ourselves to our computer while viewing his to-die-for pits and perfectly with jet black hair. Then we realized he was 19, which is a type of strange, but hey, it is still legal so that we can say things like: "HI TYLER." YOU look very well with your shirt off the coast. "BYE k." but sometimes it looks good with his shirt ON. As he did here his occasional coiled gray chambray button-up, faded grey jeans and grey vans of Sweden.

Tyler rocks the monochromatic look (which is so hot right now in fashion blogger world) with such ridiculous ease, we wonder why we thought of this first. And, as a set of grey - everything is taking a cooler on the Canadian tuxedo and it's that much less y-Texas and as you are about to go on a horse for a. BUT Tyler manages somehow without doubt a colour duller, more sad existence and beam with its radiant skin yet, chiseled jaw, trunk-like forearms and charming boy. And to do this, give us a giant burst of applause. We commend him also for his impeccable groomsmanship (we cannot identify a unique flyaway on Mane.) And eyebrows? Don't even get STARTED.), and we also make comments on its capabilities of grooming addition. DON'T BE NOT CRUDE. We talk about his chest, people. How someone seriously this good appearance/ glabrous and part werewolf? We did not get, but we are not here to judge. We're just here to ogle. At a safe distance, non-creepy, non-in-risk-of-werewolf-bites.
