Interview

Interview With Starkey

Dirty South Joe: Here we are at Mad Decent Worldwide Radio. You're here with Dirty South Joe and PJ Geissinger, AKA... Starkey.
Starkey: What's up?
[Music: Skarkey - Escape]
Starkey: The music kinda came together in like 2006 2007, in a way. Before that, it was like these, a little bit of factions, and finally when this... idea of this half step, dubstep thing kinda came about. The wobble as they refer to it in a lot of circles. That, that, that permeated the scene, 100%. I mean that was the sound. And the one, once they finally... that that became what most people who came into the sound, who heard the term dubstep, they heard those wobble tracks. That sound. And that's what they associated the scene with.
[Music: Vex'd - Venus]
Starkey: Yeah, it's very dark and dingy, and very dreary. Um. It appealed to me, definitely, at the time. Um. But I like the people that were doing things that were a bit more colourful. Melodic. There was no melodies in a lot of the music at that was going on at that time. It was all about bass, and the occasional snare drum.
[Laughs]
Starkey: But now you have this, this, complete splintering, I'd say, of the sound. You have these people that are going for a more techno, kinda, deep vibe. Um. Which sounds more like techno or house music than, what I would consider dubstep, in my own opinion. And. Um. Then you have these people that are coming at it from like, almost like a break core kind of vibe. Ah. That, that the sound is so distorted and so... nasty that it's almost, it's almost like metal. Do you know what I mean? It has the, that abrasive, jump up, kind of quality but it's, it's very dark and very, very like...
Dirty South Joe: Metal?
Starkey: Yeah. I don't know how to explain it, but, very distorted. Um. Very nasty. It's very, it's very testosterone filled music.
Dirty South Joe: Right.
Starkey: You know it's very much. I could see mosh pits. You know what I mean? And not dancing.
Dirty South Joe: I've seen mosh pits when you've played before.
[Laughs]
Starkey: No, but I try to stay away from, nah, nah. I... See I have an appreciation for lots of different kinds of things. I don't like... I like the whole genre-less thing. That appeals to me. I like when your not... you can't necessarily say what something is, but people always try and do it, and pigeonhole things so. I mean, that's what that whole street bass idea comes from. Like, what we do with our mixtapes and stuff. Cos, it's not one specific genre. It's just kind of like an attitude.
[Music: R. Kelly - Hair Braider (Remix)]
Starkey: Doing a monthly radio show on Sub FM right now. Been doing it for a little over a year now, with, um. It's been good. Um. I'll play stuff on the radio show that I would never play... in a, in a DJ mix. You know. Or at a club, cos I don't feel like it's club music or, wouldn't necessarily represent the kind of music that I'm doing in a mix, but I can play pretty much anything that I get on the radio show.
[Music: Bobby Caldwell - What You Won't Do for Love (Remix)]
Starkey: You should hear people talking about, um, like Timbaland, you know, and... like "Oh I bet ya Timbaland's jumping on some more 140 stuff". It's like, what, who cares. It's a tempo. What do you, have a claim... [Laughs] have a claim to this tempo. And if so, and like, and then people will say. You know the moment you have, like, some sort of kind of wobbly LFO controlled bass sound all of a sudden you're referencing dubstep". Well, electro, to throw a name... a word around. I mean, the 80's and like 90's. They were using wobble sounds. Just cos Britney Spears has a track that opens on her album that goes "Wah Wah Wah Wah", doesn't mean she's referencing dubstep. Yes, Britney would dubstep, she's probably like "What the hell are you talking about?".
[Music: Britney Spears - 3 (Remix)]
Starkey: I like melodies in my music, so I thinks that that's where the whole appeal of incorporating popular music styles and popular music into the music itself, um, and kinda, turning out somethings that's new, and, and fresh.
Voice: You are now listening to Luvstep, mixed by Dirty South Joe and Flufftronix.
