Starkey arguably might be the most overlooked bass music gawd the U.S. music scene has ever produced. Not that people don't genuinely eat up some starkbot beats, but still, the history achieved and respect garnered is pretty undeniable. His signature street bass sound was one of the first looks globally the U.S. ever got in the grime and dubstep scenes and that was so long before any stateside dubstep producer could even fathom headlining a festival stage anywhere for any reason. I say all this because this quiet legend is quite loud with everything he touches musically and his entry in our DAD Mix series is no different. Heavily weighted with his own tunes, these 52 minutes and change are completely blistering from start to finish and incredibly indicative of how he flows like rapid fire through heaters in a live setting. Plus he's been long rumored to have finalized a new LP and something tells me there's some teasers in here. I've been wrong before though. Either way, this mix should make your brain explode if bass music is your thing.
