Hey y'all... here is the correct info for the Moonstarr show.
Fwd from PTR >>>>
Moonstarr is one busy cat. If he's not busy on the phone holding things
down on the biz side for his label Public Transit Recordings
www.ptrmusic.com (PTR), the man's hunkered down behind closed doors over
his synths, drum machines, and samplers to bang out some killer beats.
Citing such diverse influences as Baden Powell, 4 Hero, DJ Premier, and
Underground Resistance, Moonstarr's sound can only be classified as
DOPE. Everything he touches carries imprints of deep techno, jazz, hip
hop, bossa, and broken beat, resulting in tracks that step far into the
future.
And it's not like people haven't noticed. Ever since Moon's dropped the
now-classic Dupont EP, he's received love for his work the world over.
People like Jazzanova, Recloose, Ivana Santilli, Rednose Distrikt, Povo
and others have called up the studio red phone for remixes that have
charted from San Francisco to Tokyo, London to Hamburg, and all points
in between. Big name DJs like Gilles Peterson, Mr. Scruff, Rainer
Truby, and DJ Spinna have mashed out many-a dancefloor with some
Moonstarr niceness. Just a little note: TWO of his tracks are selected
as "Best of 2004" contenders for Gilles Peterson's Radio 1 Worldwide
program (that's the huge "Detriot" tune on Sonar Kollektiv and his remix
of Povo's "Uam Uam" on Raw Fusion). He's rocked parties all over the
planet for fans in the UK, France, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland,
Japan, across Canada, and of course, the USA.
Fresh from a September/October UK tour, Moonstarr is coming to
Philadelphia to bring his patented bossabreakbeatbreakdown.

This is Moonstarr's first time performing in Philly, but he's already a
big fan of the city. The connection was built through underground
radio. Philly native Argo of BrokenBeatRadio got in touch with Moon
through his incredibly popular BruckBeatRadio show in Toronto in late
2002 (www.ckln.fm) and the rest is history. Moon's a big fan of Philly's
extensive musical history as well, and looks forward to collaborations
with some of Sun Ra's existing Arkestra members while he visits!! He
also just performed alongside ?uestlove at the RESFEST launch party in
Toronto in late October.
Do not sleep!
