Prince Charming, "Friendliest Warlord in the Universe" ****Please visit my website to view: web films, and 100+ pages of poetic pandemonium. ****

Influences:

antique costume jewelry, crate-digging opera breaks at the library. Downloading sensuous Sanskrit epic erotic hieroglyphic MC poetry. Hafiz and Georte are dope MCs. 1930’s Calypsonians are dope MCs. Sometimes, I rocket around in a bat-winged amoeba saucer craft roaming the tide-pools of Venus searching for sexy carnivorous starfish telepaths. Sometimes I a relaxing bubble-bath in a billion dollar bath-o-sphere bubble-craft with a pre-historic scorpion spear gun and trillion dollar platinum medallion surfing Ultra-low frequency bioluminescent gravity anomaly galaxies.

SAN FRANCISCO BAY GUARDIAN Deep dub bass rumbles, clanging layers of minimalist techno, ambient, and rock -- regular mindfuck stuff for anyone ready to explore the outer bounds of collage
A&A Is the appropriate reaction intellectual or visceral? Both, and that’s where the genius lies.
SLEEPBOT A well-ordered cacophony of devious beats.
XLR8R- Anarchy for the ear, a psychedelic sampler.
ALTERNATIVE PRESS Hip-Hop-inflected dub submerged in mystery and on the verge of chaos Sex music for hopeless intellectuals.
WTM-PARIS A true trip, a festival of sonorities to the colors changeantes (drum-n-bass, ambient-noise, strange-dub,electronic-funk, post-latino, soul-jazz, néo-techno, trip hop minimalist, etc).
META UPON META - Medieval headache cure/sex toy. Like every album you’ve ever heard and like absolutely nothing else on the planet.
SEMI-GLOSS - a predominantly instrumental journey through years of exotic multicultural sound snippets. His passion to search and explore uncovered musical territory
CMJ - A wicked practitioner of deeply-emersed, bugged-out trip-hop-dub.
BIKINI - uncompromising and all encompassing hypnotic groove theory .
0170 A journey you’d expect to find in the deepest of the UK’s underground.
BREAKS & BEATS INTL A kaleidoscopic musical story. An abstract film score. Alive and daring.
AUDIBLE EVOLUTION Prince Charming is challenging, graceful, melodramatic, and entertaining--surely worth a listen.
KEXP Playful, unsettling and startlingly original.
ULTRA Equally exotic and disturbing, dramatic and seductive but most of all very, very sexy.
GAJOOB Weaving snatches of cultural plunder amongst heavy, passionate pulses and gyrating undergrooves, Prince Charming’s dance atmosphere is a world of its own.
THE ROCKET Very subversive music. Its damn refreshing to hear that underground music still exists, in yet a different form.
FLIPSIDE Exploding synergy. Tell you the truth I cant make it out but its addictive. It goes all over the place without losing its sense of direction.
THE STRANGER Too weird and amorphous to fit snugly into any music-scene niche.
GOTHIC BEAUTY MAGAZINE Intriguing to say the least.
RESONANCE Intoxicating confusion
SPLENDID Bone-shaking beats big thumping bass notes, and thick webs of synthetic sound to get the mood going.
ALL MUSIC GUIDE Entertaining genre-bending … that’s smarter, stronger, and better crafted than most of the … music around
RALEIGH SPECTATOR This is the underground your hip children will ask you about in 20 years.
