Biography

An indie electronic dance-pop producer from London, England, David E. Sugar released a variety of underground material, much of it online, before jumping to the trendsetting French label Kitsun� Music in 2007. Sugar, who both produces and sings his music, first began to make a name for himself with Fresh Off the Chip (2006), a six-track freely downloadable MP3 release on 8bitpeoples. Also in 2006, he released the Coin-Op Rocker and David E. Sugar vs. Ears 12" EPs on C Side Trax and Brikabrak, respectively. In 2007 Sugar released the Oi New York, This Is London EP on Grecoroman; remixed a few tracks (the Rumble Strips' "Girls & Boys in Love," Big Face's "I Wanna Be a Style Crusader," Lo Fidelity Allstars' "Blisters on My Brain" -- not to mention unofficial remixes such as the Klaxons' "Golden Skans"); and saw his track "To Yourself" released on Kitsun� Maison Compilation 5. His affiliation with the Kitsun� Music label continued in 2008 with the To Yourself 12" single and a slot on the label's Kitsun� Maison Tour with Digitalism. ~ Jason Birchmeier, All Music Guide
