RED BULL MUSIC ACADEMY presents FRITE NITE SHOWCASE

STARKEY
PJ Geissinger aka Starkey is blessed with musical arrangement skills 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.
NASTYNASTY
California’s NastyNasty has established his own abstract take on contemporary bass music and defined himself as one of North America's most unique producers. A heavy helping of heartfelt vocal trickery and melodic sensibility accompany heavy drums and brow-raising bass sounds to construct songs that both stand as listening pieces as well dance-floor wizardry.
DISTAL
Distal: a 27 year old producer / dj from Atlanta, Ga. who runs the label Embassy Recordings, and producer of bass music with a wide range of tempos. Distal is most well known for blending aesthetics of the past and combining them with current high quality formats. Distal studied music, and psychology in College; specializing in auditory synesthesia. Readying a full length album on Tectonic in April 2012.
B. BRAVO
B. Bravo adds a touch of love to every funked-out late night synth groove he gets his hands on. Hailing from California under the influence of west coast GFunk, Roy Ayers and Herbie Hancock, he’s pioneering a new sound in electronic music connecting interstellar funk and R’n’B with contemporary dance, hip hop and ‘bass’ music. As a founding member of the Frite Nite label/crew based in San Francisco, he is also a driving force in the emerging worldwide Modern Funk Movement.
