Dec6- STARKEY + ILL.GATES - 2 Album Releases at SENSORIA - 152 Augusta
SENSORIA invites you to Augusta House on December 6th for an evening of sensational bass. Toronto's top dubstep crews, Dubslingers and SubTrac, unite to bring you an epic dual album launch party for Philadelphian grime don Starkey's "Ephemeral Exhibits (out on Planet Mu, Nov. 24th) and Torontonian glitch-and-bass badmon Ill.Gates' "Autopirate" (out this fall on Muti Music).

STARKEY:
"I operate on the fringes of dubstep, like Vex'd, Darkstar and Joker. So much music nowadays lacks melodies, that's why I stick out I think."
Starkey is Philidelphia's finest dubstep, grime, bass, artist and the latest signing to Planet-Mu. In the context of grime and dubstep in 2008, Starkey is a gleaming bright anomaly. Whereas so many producers' default mode is darkness and gloom, Starkey's music is saturated with colour, and through melody he harnesses a powerful, alien rave energy. Recently he has featured on the Radio One Mary Anne Hobbs Bass Generation show. Be sure to check out the show he hosts on "Seclusiasis Radio" every 1st monday of the month on SubFM.

Riding some fresh momentum from touring this year through Amsterdam, Paris, Turkey and the Czech Republic, he's brought his momentum back to Toronto.
