Los Angeles born producer Brian Gibbs of Gunjack and Echo Park fame presents, the first release on his very own imprint – UGLY BOY MUSIC. UBM001 is compilation (various artists) entitled STAR HUSTLERS. A long playing album that feels more like an immersive film or soundtrack piece, STAR HUSTLERS is full of modern “post Dilla” hip hop soul and funk with more than just a hint of Nintendo nior. Tunes by Chile’s most famous and widely adored beat maker GEOSLIDE who passed away tragically in January of 2010, tracks by ECHO PARK of course, Detroit’s RICH HEEBNER, Glasgow’s THE 13th TRIBE, Santiago’s KHAIN74, New Jersey’s MISHAP, Cali based DUFRAYNE and 19 year old wonder kid WILD HADESS contribute to what ultimately sounds like Curtis Mayfield playing Metroid on ayahuasca. ESSENTIAL.
