You wanna fight? Fuckin’ kick your ass… and then I’ll fuckin’ kick your ass with my music… then I’m gonna play some bass licks on your grave!

JSTAR

This track really makes me laugh. It’s the nightmare response to that “Bass Player Wanted” advert you might place in the NME. The tryout bass player from Hell!

The guy in question is JSTAR, who assures us he did not appear in the 118 ads, though… As far as I can tell he’s actually a DJ, who comes from London, and appears to play a number of the sort of … er … “Soundclashes” that people far younger than myself go to. I think he’s also played with David Rodigan.

JSTAR has a Myspace page with three other tracks available, all of them quite different to each other, one a dancehall style reggae track, another softer RnB type thing (which I wasn’t so keen on) and a cracking fourth track called Step 1 Stoop, which features, I think, a melodica, in the best Augustus Pablo traditions. All of them are worth a listen…

Chose this one, though, as it raised a smile, in a packed stressed weekend…

I'm So Heavy
