Heavy Artillery

While we await word of the next Hoxton-sized taster of Lincoln’s Engine Shed we thought it would be fitting to celebrate the work of resident Tom Staar.

Since we first saw him take to The Macbeth decks last year, his tracks have been getting air time from all the choice electro stars and not just because Moda’s label bosses have access to some of the most influential radio desks in the country.

The Tom Staar and Console EPs were just warm ups to the Disney’s Space Mountain sampling, bassier, dance floor smashing Heavy Artillery EP (due for March 2010 release on Moda) which houses Two Tone Simms, Cannon and Sling Shot .

Remixes of We Have Band, Basement Jaxx, Cassette Jam and Yello have already been completed and can be found on his MySpace page, and if what we’ve read is true productions with Doorly are being cooked up now…

Be it an introduction or a reminder – get your ears around Two Tone Simms on SoundCloud. School night raving just wouldn’t be the same without him!

Moda’s eye for talent doesn’t stop there either with singer Ben Duffy from the label’s hit band Fenech-Soler appearing on Paper Romance; Groove Armada’s excellent recent single from their new album Black Light (which was released on Monday).

So, to tie this up neatly, here is Tom Staar’s remix of Fenech-Soler’s Lies, and you can find Groove Armada’s Paper Romance (Classixx mix) on Woody’s Round Up posted last Friday.
