Starsmith Announces Second Production Surgery

• 15th Nov 2010

Following on from the huge success of last month’s Starsmith Production Surgery (over 150 people submitted tracks for the last one), Fin Dow-Smith – aka Starsmith – has decided to do it all again! The next ‘Starsmith Production Surgery’ will be held on November 17th at 6pm GMT.

Anyone looking for advice on remixing, production techniques or how to get ahead can drop their own tracks into Starsmith’s SoundCloud dropbox at link before 6pm on 17th and the man himself will do his very best to get back to you on Twitter that same evening (please also include your Twitter ID in the track title) with his own hints, tips, pointers and thoughts.

And then simply tune into link on 6pm on 17th November to hear from the man himself!

Starsmith has been making quite a name for himself behind the music scenes. His remix work has seen him pour golden synth sounds on acts from the leftfield to the mainstream. Those to have the treatment include Lady Gaga, N.E.R.D, Katy Perry, Bombay Bicycle Club, Little Boots, Marina & The Diamonds, Paloma Faith, Penguin Prison, Frankmusik and Timbaland.

After establishing himself as one of the most sought-after producers around, Fin Dow-Smith is set to emerge from behind the mixing desk and step into the spotlight. Moving from star-maker to star.

Inspired by some of the legends of French house – think Alan Braxe and Cassius his debut AA side single demonstrates another side to Starsmith. ‘Give Me A Break’ is a ready-made dancefloor classic. It’s followed by ‘Knuckleduster’, another killer track that nods to its influences whilst providing a streamlined beat and shards of synths.

Starsmith’s debut AA single ‘Give Me A Break / Knuckleduster’ is out now and can be purchased here link and the limited 12″ Vinyl here link

His debut album is expected early 2011.
