Superstarr
When grunge dominated the musical landscape there was no shortage of bands eager to replicate. Nowadays it’s Baltimore club and aspiring producers. Every second DJ has tried producing a B'more club banger, by combining the standard Lyn Collins “Think” break and whatever track is hot this week.
For purists, there are very clear guidelines for producing B'more: a style that was defined in the beginning by gun-shots and a rock solid 130 bpm tempo. B'more club in its ‘90s heyday was an unstoppable force that was at war with an obtuse society. Today the anger has gone but Blaqstarr is taking it back to its roots. The 22-year-old Baltimore native is B'more’s newest rising star and he is managing to skirt a traditional ‘90’s sound while reinventing the genre.
His new 12” is out through Mad Decent and from the outset Blaqstarr’s voice (yes, he sings) encapsulates the celebratory yet melancholy elements that makes B'more club the Blues of dance music. By the end of the EP you will, as Blaqstarr says, “raise your hands up, like a gun up in the air”.
