| About me: | The debut album from DJ Starscream, also known as Sid Wilson III or #0 of Slipknot fame has a new record that was released through Koch Distribution on 10/9/07.
“The New Leader” gives DJ Starscream the opportunity to expand on his innovative style that has been dubbed “mosh up,” a lethal mashing of turntablist style and the DJ’s metal, hip hop, and punk rock influences, as well as unexpected elements like classical piano.
Rugged, dark landscapes of breaks, distortion, and emotional analog crash with classical melodies and warfare drums, to push the envelope of the genre on “The New Leader.”
Gone are the days of narrow-minded music fans and
“The New Leader” will reach this new generation of fans searching for a style that embraces all styles and cultures.
“I’ve been getting fans from all directions,” said Starscream. “The Slipknot fans have been very supportive, which was shocking at first ‘cause when I grew up the music scene was very segregated. I see the approach of blending several styles of music as a way to bring people together that normally don’t hang out with each other.”
A DJ since 1992, Starscream’s debut has been in the works for four years. After joining forces with N2O, the time to unveil “The New Leader” was evident. N2O’s unparalleled mash up licenses enabled Starscream to create music with no limits. N2O’s deep involvement in the DJ scene and understanding of DJ Starscream’s vision, made the label the perfect home for “The New Leader.”
“I am trying to create my own movement that’s not tied to a more major label, and I think this music advances too fast for them to understand anyway,” said Starscream. “DJ music is constantly evolving.”
