"Dub-step has really gained a phenomenal foothold during the last year. Rising out of UK garage and drum & bass its evolutionary pace and innovative drive has been nothing but awe-inspiring. The ideology has spread like wildfire, and whereas before it was principally a close network of artists inspired by those scenes, now there is emerging a new second wave, from the depths of electronica, electro, glitch, even breakcore. It's coming from far and wide and it's at this critical point Starksound, the label, enters into the limelight as a new spin off project from Rag & Bone records. Launching the first sonic assault is a stunning 2 tracker from Crooked One. Inspired by the likes of Vex'd, Technical Itch, and Youngsta, this is a new moniker for an artist whose previously revered outings have surfaced on Combat, Rag & Bone, Dirty Needles and Thorn Industries. The lead track 'Annihilation' is pure menacing dirtage. Tumultuous half-step riddims deliver a haunting message with jaw-dropping bass. 'Crooked Acid' on the reverse, takes the same gritty template, interspersed with shivers of cold reverb and deep and dark dangerous intent."

Artist:	STARKEY
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."
