The hardcore continuum was very much kept alive by Starkey in 08; and in an interesting post-geographical twist, Starkey was one of few American heads who latched onto grime to generate a marvellously-mongrel breed of UK bass music. Ephemeral’s rave bleeps ping-pong across the stereo field clattering against the atonal sub-bass wobbles and metamorphosed, pitch-shifted vox to give us a furious set. Through the druggy-dissonance is also a cute way with a catchy off-beat refrain and some lacerating lead 303 lines. All round killer infectiousness from the new Planet Mu Philly boy.
