Philly-based dubstepper Starkey (aka PJ Geissinger) posted a new mix tape on venerable Brit music mag NME's site for your downloading pleasure. Our main DJ Nights man Gair "Dev 79" Marking named Starkey's Starkbass mix on his 2009 Best of Dance/Electronica list. Here's what he said:

10 Various Artists
Starkbass
( DJ Mix by Starkey)
(Lo Dubs)

It seems I listened to a lot of DJ mixes in '09: The lure is you get to experience songs in ways you may not have imagined and also get exposed to tracks you may not have heard otherwise. My boy on the streets, Starkey, dropped this bleeding-edge chunk of bass action, with some real heated numbers in the mix from Joker, Pacheko and Raffertie, among others.

NME has some nice things to say about our homeboy:

Starkey occupies an intriguing no man's land. Having once plied his wears in notably bouncier territories he's discovered a distinctly svelter, sheeny synth-centric approach for his second album on Planet Mu and in doing so he's quickly garnering props as the most plausible mediating force between the scene's opposing armies.

That post also has a link to his single "Stars (Slugabed did a remix)." You can see the full tracklist for the mix after the jump. Starkey's new album hits April 19.
