I've been waiting for a mixcd from the Starkster. While his trackselection is a major hit and miss-affair for me personally, I always seem to keep replaying his sets, as they always stand out as more varied, energetic and unpretentious than so many others in the scene he has become a part of.
Starkey has his own way of sucking in sounds from grime/dubstep/4x4 garage/hiphop, throwing them in a blender and then blasting it back out in one massive digital chaos of sounds, which is exactly what he has done here. The first 12-13 tunes are very much a mixed bag (I really can't stand the type of midrange wobble nonsense DZ and Raffertie make, but tunes like Strike Now and Crazy Love make up for that), but things only get better from there. Swollen Glands is an absolute monster that sounds like DJ Oddz if he had gone digital, Joker and Pacheko bring some delightfully wonky productions, and O-Dessa - Deeper is just lovely. One small request to LoDubs: I'm pretty sure DJs would appreciate unmixed sampler vinyls from this CD immensely.
There are some samples here that give a quite good impression of what the CD sounds like. Those of you caning Martyn, Burial and Appleblim all day really owe it to yourselves to give this a whirl, if only to get a somewhat different perspective on dubstep. |
