Featured on Mary Anne Hobbs a couple of weeks back, street-bass phenomenon Starkey was thrown down the challenge to create a track from scratch during the course of the 120 minute program. Armed with samples supplied by Radio 1 DJs, dubstep artists and listeners, and joined by vocalist Anneka and percusionist Reso, Starkey delivers a tune within the two-hour time constraint. Gimmicky, sure, and it may not be the ‘ultimate dubstep track’ they set out to make, but it still an impressive end-product that makes for an entertaining seven minutes of video.
The track itself can be downloaded here, or from the official BBC page.
