So without further hesitation, Rough N Rugged & riddim.ca/darkdisco are proud to present to the fine citizens of Ottawa......
STARKEY (Philadelphia, USA)
Planet Mu, Slit Jockey, Seclusiasis, Offshore, Lo Dubs
Starkey is a fast rising star hailing from the electronic underground. His energetic dj performances combined with his original production sound are making him a hotly tipped act and producer of the future.
Starkey is co-owner of Slit Jockey Records and a member of the Seclusiasis and TROUBLE AND BASS crews. Following his recent success stateside, Starkey was selected by Vex’d as one of seven new DJs for Radio 1’s MARY ANNE HOBBS’ low end special ‘Generation Bass’ and was the only non-UK DJ to be chosen. If you like grime, dubstep, hip-hop and all things bass then Starkey’s hard edged spaced out street bass is the sound for you. His sound is often compared to the likes of Vex’d, Skream, Zomby and Tipper to name a few.
Starkey’s first full-length album “Ephemeral Exhibits” was released late 2008 on the seminal Planet Mu label.It has received rave reviews around the globe, with the Wire saying "Ephemeral Exhibits is compressed into mid-range blasts of yowling, plastic synth lines over peg-legged stutter-beats. (Starkey) has allowed (himself) to see the forest for the trees, and locate (his) place within a tangled history of electronic dance music.” And NME wrote, “(Starkey’s) tracks sparkle with sonic wit and real tenderness. His Stateside ‘street bass’ sound is a bright neon beacon of hope.”
Over the past five years, Starkey has had a string of vinyl, CD and digital releases on labels such as Peace-Off/Ruff (France), Nonclassical (UK), Dead Homies (US), Starksound/Rag&Bone (UK), Offshore (US) and LoDubs (US), Creative Space (Greece) and Dress 2 Sweat (UK).
