SAVOY:
Take away the fog machines, insane laser show and monstrous speakers add some cheap beer and push aside the furniture, and it would be easy to imagine Savoy's show as the most bangin'house party you've ever been to.
Instrumentalists turned seasoned producers, Gray Smith, Ben Eberdt, and live drummer Michael Kelly have taken elements from almost every sub-genre of electronic music and mashed them together to create a trulyunique and captivating sound that will leave frat boys, ravers, and
hipster chicks all in one sweaty mess at the end of the night.
In 2010, Savoy put themselves on the map playing critically acclaimed sets at premier electronic festivals like Global Dance Red Rocks, Electric Daisy Carnival LA, and Electric Zoo along side countless shows at live venues and clubs throughout the US. Their live concert, which now boasts a laser show that looks like the moonraker from Golden Eye, matched with blog destroying remixes, and beatport charting tracks, is solidifying the fact that these guys are the purveyors of one of the best parties around.
2011 is set to take Savoy to the next level with a 365 day agenda of releasing tracks, collaborating with some of the world's best producers, and bringing their laser induced mind f*ck of a show to venues, festivals, and clubs across the world.
STARKEY:
Seclusiasis, Slit Jockey Records, http://www.starkey-music.com/ // Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
PJ Geissinger aka Starkey is blessed with musical arrangement skill's that would leave most composers green faced with envy. This combined with his high production ethic makes him a formidable force not only in the underground but also as a super producer of the future. Starkey is yet another example of what the streets of Philadelphia can create, his sound hits hard and is littered with bass and colourful audio frequencies. If you like grime, dubstep, hip hop and all things "street bass" then Starkey's hard edged spaced out crunk is the sound for you. Starkey was selected by Vex'd as one of seven new DJs for Radio 1's MARY ANNE HOBBS' low end special 'Generation Bass' and was the only non-UK DJ to be chosen. He was recently chosen to create a track in the space of 2 hours live on radio 1, the track received daytime radio play and was top of the reviews list across many channels. Starkey is also co-owner of the Seclusiasis and Slit Jockey Record labels, a member of the Trouble & Bass Crew and works hardon releasing the freshest output from around the globe, this combined with his fortnightly radio show on Sub FM has positioned him as one of the tastemakers to emerge out of the bass heavy underground. Recent remixes include Armand Van Helden, Gorilla Zoe, Uffie, Tempa T, Zomby, Inner Party System, The Constellations, Kano and The Foals to name a few!! With production on the cards/ pitched for Missy Elliot, MIA, Britney Spears, Fatima, Dizzee and more...Move over Timbaland, Dre and Swizz Beats, the future is set to be bright for Starkey!!
