Few British artists have maintained the same air of consistency as that of label-hopping electro head Tom Staar. Off the heels of popular remix duties for both Dirty South and Francesco Rossi, his inaugural Staar Traxx release sees the London-based talent back behind the wheel with his first solo single release since 2012’s “Kingdom.” Ascending in a tide of tight melodic progressions, ”Trident” successfully pierces the assumption that we have lost the peak time club sensation to a trend of obnoxious drops. With the upfront production values and consistent energy we have come to expect from Staar’s valiant studio offerings, this notable label debut marks the shape of things to come from a man whose industrious stamina looks only to excel on the approach to 2014.
