Starkey bio:
American artist, producer, DJ, remixer, singer, label manager and now singer Starkey (aka P.J. Geissinger), is one of the biggest names in electronic music right now, heading up the Streetbass crew and sound in his home base of Philadelphia, PA.
A North American ambassador for UK-dominated sounds, his music encompasses hip-hop, grime, dubstep, house, and everything between, all united by an unmatched ear for melodies and colourful, almost psychedelic sounds. He's been getting tons of attention from all over the place (his recent feature on the ResidentAdvisor Podcast series felt like a triumphant coup for the bass-inclined), and deservedly so: after a string of singles and EPs for a number of labels, Starkey landed on Planet Mu in 2008 with his debut album Ephemeral Exhibits, a record that blended the aggressive dubstep styles of Vex'd and Skream with a distinct hip-hop influence and an undeniable pop sensibility.
Appearing on Mary Anne Hobbs' "Generation Bass" special in 2008, his profile skyrocketed and he released another string of massive twelves, culminating with the grimy one-two punch of his Badness tune "OK Luv" on Planet Mu and the astral starscapes of his "Rain City" single on Rwina Records.
This past month Starkey has just released his long-in-the-making second album Ear Drums And Black Holes for Planet Mu.
