Flufftronix and Dirty South Joe are dropping a mix on the Mad Decent blog on valentine’s day called “luvstep”. Along with that, they are also going to drop an audio interview with Starkey as well as exclusive free downloads of 2 tunes you won’t find anywhere else. Check out the creative video they made to promote it above.
Starkey has just done a mix for FACT magazine. And I could not agree more with the words FACT magazine uses to describe Starkey:
More influenced by grime than its more popular cousin, dubstep, Starkey’s made a name for himself with some of this decade’s most dynamic, overblown dance music: bass-heavy club tracks that are rhythmically all over the place, constantly changing direction, with dramatic key changes and leadlines that sear higher than the stars before imploding like dying stars.
Starkey has one of the biggest sounds around – and not in a cheap, tearout dubstep sense – his tracks carry tons of physical and emotional weight; tracks like ‘Miracles’ and ‘Crippling’ some of the most beautiful tracks produced by this anything goes, post-garage music.

Our good friends over at T&B NYC wondered if we could help them out with some distribution of their latest cd sampler: TROUBLE & BASS – Scion CD Sampler V. 25. The cd features hot tracks from Drop The Lime, AC Slater, Acid Jacks, Mikix The Cat, Starkey and their mates! So just holla at: distribution@therawjuice.com or your nearest Raw Juice affiliate for a FREE copy!!
Starkey just posted a link to his favorite live set over at his myspace blog. Be sure to check it out. The setlist is BIG, lots of big and unreleased tracks. Please go to PDXINDUB for the entire set list and 320 kbps MP3 downloads
Starkey recently released a huge mix called Starkbass. Its tracklist features an awesome selection, and most of the tracks are previously unreleased.
A few days ago XLR8R Magazine did a review of Starkbass, and I am citing this:
The mix is packed with crazy blipped-out synths, over-the-top crashing wobble effects, maddeningly complex beats, and a nearly endless supply of relentless, manic energy. Listen closely and you can pick out the differences between Raffertie’s teeth-rattling tweak-outs, BD1982’s dubbier productions, and Wonder’s straight rawness, but the breakneck pace may leave you disoriented. As long as you can handle the ride, Starkbass is a superb mix.
If you want to buy Starkbass or maybe listen to some samples head over to Juno or boomkat
