bopstar
Electronica / Soul United Kingdom |
In brief
Bopstar's sci-fi soul is a brew of blackatlantronic dj culture and post-bop afrological music science.
'Octavia' feat Charlie Edwards, is in memoriam of Octavia Butler, hit restless soul on ithinkmusic.com to get yours (the Co Op rub is due on the Co Op III LP).
'Chiaroscuro' feat Zara McFarlane features on the Basement Soul compilation.
