David Starfire New Album Ascend OUT TODAY Feb 19th"Indian melodies mixed with dubstep bass made up the unique (andtasty) concoction found in the first track ("House Of Bhangra") ofDavid Starfire’s upcoming album Ascend." - VIBE Magazine"This album is a well-rounded offering with something to offer to a
variety of different listeners. True to the album's name, Starfire has
proven himself one to constantly ascend to the next level." - The Untz
David Starfire’s new album, Ascend, is his most “live” project to
date. Starfire’s previous efforts for Six Degrees Records – the
five-track EP Bombay Beatz and debut full-length Bollyhood Bass – were
predominantly his own doing. Ascend is more of a collaborative
effort, bringing in more live musicians instead of relying on loops
and samples. Ascend takes Starfire’s trademark fusion of Electronica
mixed with Indian and Arabic influences to new levels of excitement.
This time however, David is working with a dizzying cast of musical
characters, including hip hop pioneer, Afrika Bambaataa, label-mates
Cheb i Sabbah & Natacha Atlas, Desert Dwellers and vocalists iCatching
and Sheila Govindarajan. Starfire’s live aesthetic, merging with
beat-driven dance textures is perfectly at home at the varied venues
he’s performed at, including Coachella, Lightning in a Bottle and
