PJ Geissinger has been performing as Starkey for only four years and
has already garnered International attention for his energetic live/
dj performances and original sound. Starkey is co-owner of Slit
Jockey Records and a member of the Seclusiasis and TROUBLE AND BASS
crews. In 2005, Starkey won both the North American and Mid-Atlantic
Laptop Battles, in Seattle and Washington D.C. respectively. He was
also featured in the Philadelphia City Paper’s 2005 Spring Music
Issue and awarded the Choice Award for “Best UK Grime DJ in Philly”
along with Dev79. Following this success stateside Starkey was
selected by Vex’d as one of seven new DJs for Radio 1’s MARY ANNE
HOBBS’ dubstep elite ‘generation bass’ and was the only non-UK DJ to
be chosen. Following up his 2006 debut on Werk Discs,“Local
Headlines”, Starkey’s latest album “Ephemeral Exhibits” was released
November 10th on the world famous “PLANET MU” label. In the past 2
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), Zombydub (UK), and Dress 2 Sweat (UK).
If you like grime, techno, breaks, jungle and all things bass then
Starkey's hard edged spaced out crunk is the right sound for you.
Already being compared to the likes of Vex’d, Skream and Tipper, this
underground musical genius is certainly one to watch out for in the
future.
Those that are familiar with Starkey’s work know him to be constantly
pushing the boundaries of all musical genres in order to shape his
sound, however in a continued effort to expand his creative outlets
he has enlisted the help of a new pseudonym, “moves!”. With his first
release imminent on UK based label Dress 2 Sweat (“All Skate/
Playaz”) Starkey continues to surprise and impress with every new
release.
