Tom Staar ‘Death Staar EP’
Out now on Moda Music - Beatport link

"As the sun sets on what has been an explosive Summer for the subject of this very script, the chill of Autumn seems the perfect context for Moda’s man of darkness. Having obliterated Space & Amnesia in Ibiza, Big Chill, Lovebox and countless other world stages, Tom Staar returns with three rounds of interstellar firepower.

For ‘Death Staar’ Tom teams up with one half of globe trotting Techno duo Spektre, today deliver a frantic end-of-the-night monster that’s is, quite simply, mental. It’s backed by the equally brilliant and instantly contagious ‘Weekenders’ and ‘Galaxy’; all carrying the unmistakable hallmarks of one of the UK’s finest production talents.

As one quarter of Moda, Tom is part of one of the most exciting club brands who are regularly throwing 2000 capacity warehouse raves and intimate basement parties, putting out records from Monarchy, Shake Aletti, Jaymo & Andy George and are on the cusp of everything that is exciting in dance music. In addition, Tom Staar is becoming the guy big pop acts go to when they want a slice of club credibility, both Example and The Saturdays have had the intergalactic treatment recently."
