Artist:	STARKEY
Title:	Just A/Million
Label:	RWINA (NETHERLANDS)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	RWINA 001EP

"The first release on Rwina Records is a massive one. It comes in the form of 'Just A Million' from Philadelphia's Starkey. Both tunes pull from hip-hop, grime & dubstep to create Starkey's signature street bass sound. 'Just A' on the A-side mixes an infectious, whiney synth with a singalong chorus, while 'Million' on the flip is an 808 workout if there ever was one, pitch-shifting various kicks into a dancefloor basher. Get down to the Rwina sound!"

Title:	Bounce/Prism
Label:	STARKSOUND RECORDINGS (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	STRK 002EP

"Starkey is the mayor of Starkville, which is entirely inhabited by Starkbots, the robots he created. Starkbots are fuelled by gritty beats with melodic tendencies. Here on the second release for new label Starksound, Starkey, fresh from a summer of fine releases and remixes for Dead Homies and Lo Dubs, delivers two slabs of bass heaviness. 'Bounce' features an infectious vocal you can't help following, and all driven by a truly charged dubstep bassline impossible to resist. 'Prism' is an original take on all things halfstep, pounding out its beat and bass and layered with a deep, sublime, electronic hook. PJ Geissinger has been performing as Starkey for only three years and has already garnered attention for his energetic live performances and original sound."

Title:	Local Headlines
Label:	WERKDISCS (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	WERK 012EP

"Following a deranged 7" on his own Slit Jockey label, this is Stakey's latest joint on the Grim-tastic Werk imprint. The earth shuddering sub bass opening the record gives little indication of the insanity spread evenly across this killer 12", but trust us it is designed for total dancefloor obliteration. In the current climate of grime, dub-step, and dub-folk (hello Various Production) Starkey takes a slightly more deranged and electronic angle with two tracks purposefully designed for the forward-thinking grime/dubstep heads and two tracks of more beautiful almost Prefuse-influenced beatplay. Although a relative newcomer to the scene, this record is hard evidence that Starkey won't be slipping through the door quietly and will not be forgotten easily. An explosive 12"!"
