STARKEY ‘ROBOT HANDS’ (CIVIL MUSIC)


WE KEEP BANGING ON about the infinitesimal variations of bass music in the UK, so props to Philadelphian ‘street bass’ (his words) producer Starkey for continuing on with his own mechanised take on 21st century hip-hop beats. ‘Robot Hands’ touches you with the caresses of a


cyborg lover, leaving dirty bruises that you know are really a sign of their emotional tenderness. If that strange analogy doesn’t put you off, then check the ‘Space Traitor Vol 1’ EP it’s from, and look out for ‘Volume 2’, coming soon. www.starkey-music.com


DJ SPINN DJWEEKLY PODCAST #22


CHICAGO HAS REMAINED since day one at the forefront of innovative dance music and DJ Spinn’s latest podcast is packed full of its latest offerings. A dancer, DJ and producer, who recently made his London debut, Spinn is at the forefront of juke, a form of mutant house music that evolved from the ghetto house of labels such as ‘Dance Mania’


and is associated, along with footwork, with dance battles around the city. Frenetic, raw, and ready to plunder samples from anything from gangster hip-hop to classic soul and disco, this is the modern day sound of Chicago from yet another of its home-grown heroes.
