Philadelphian son he may be, but Starkey’s chops and glugs sound honed in Croydon, England; where shack-ish train portals shuttle passengers through an undergrowth of industrial towers at the blurred, suburban edges of London’s consciousness. “Gutter Music”, parts pulled from Metalheadz drum’n’bass, Wiley’s grime, Skream’s Plastician-era dubstep and imported electro, rattles and hums along like one of Croydon's modded Vauxhall Novae; alloy rims gleaming, dump valve wheezing, blue neons glowing beneath, illegal. The perfect soundtrack for when the rudeboys turn the town into a racetrack every Saturday night, Starkey – real name PJ Geissinger – packs the beats you’ll hear pumping at car park pit stops, his remix of R. Kelly’s “Hair Braider” hyped and live with teenboy fantasies of a girl who’ll thread your extensions, smoke your weed and empty your balls over the course of the same evening.
