Star Trak is the new record label headed by the one and only Pharrell, and their latest signing is a fantastic duo with Milwaukee ties, Chester French.

These two recent Harvard grads (D.A. Wallach and Maxwell Drummey) have managed to conjure the spirit of the Beach Boys while mixing in Air and Beck and some Hip Hop love. Definitely worth a listen, as they’ve received the coveted Entourage Stamp Of Approval : being featured in the closing credits for a recent episode of the smash hit comedy on HBO.

We tracked horns in Studio A at Burst HQ (trumpet, trombone, french horn, and tuba) on a few songs for their forthcoming full-length debut, “Love the Future.”

They certainly come to the party with considerable cred, having produced remixes for Slim Thug and Jay-Z, both available for review on their myspace profile. Go on and check them out (at myspace) so you can say you heard them way before the cool kids did. [dh]
