Fuck me, this Starkey thing is sweet! Not only is it a record, it's also a DJ tool, imprinted on one side with the revolutionary ’Serato Control Tone’ which enables you to scratch with digital files! I'm not bothered about that shit, sounds well Judge Jules. Like Brett said yesterday, Jeff Mills used to chuck his records over his shoulder when he'd finished using a track, he didn't give a fuck. DJs are pansies these days, too wimpy to lift their record boxes anymore! Only kidding, this grey vinyl disc is not only a lovely collectors item, in a designer sort of way, but the song 'Knob Twiddler' is also a searching electronic classic, mixing up braindance, breakbeat techno & post wonky rave stabs into a highly intoxicating euphoric stew. Absolutely boss tune, the best I've heard from this talented genre splicer. The third release I've reviewed on the esteemed Planet Mu this week!
Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
What their label says...
Planet Mu are proud to follow in the footsteps of Stones Throw, Mad Decent & Ninja Tune by releasing their own mega-limited ’Serato Pressing’.
Destined to be a collectors item.
On the A-side of the vinyl is the sought-after "Knob Twiddler" track by Starkey which has been decimating dancefloors in the trendier parts of Whoreditch and beyond for well over a year.
The B-side is given over to a ’Serato Control Tone’ which when used in conjunction with their own software enables you to DJ live with digital files.
