Nice Price Deal !!! Drums and bass are brought to the front of the mix, while his arrangement effectively chooses to repeat the lighter verse and save the headier chorus for one time near the end.

The fifth release from imprint Truffle Music brings you an electro-disco stormer from long-time Toronto contributor Don Cash’s third LP release ‘On The Bus’ (stereoeagle). Star Dust fuses rock, electro and rap with Cash’s unique vocal style ranging from drawl to falsetto in a very effective fashion. The original version is an up-tempo electro funk fusion that has serious dancefloor sensibilty yet sticks to a pop arrangement that keeps the momentum flowing from start to finish. Synth bass and up-front 4/4 drums drive the track, while several squelchy synth sounds are used creating a robotic melody with Cash’s haunting vocals. The song follows a verse/chorus/verse pattern throughout it’s four minutes, making a great crossover Electro track that still manages to ride the edge. Steve Yanko (Truffle, Plant, Prize) takes on remix duties and delivers a dj friendly mix that extends the intro and outro and overall track length to close to 8 minutes.
