Biography of Bobby Starrr

Real name / Robert M. Stanley
Moniker(s) / Bobby Starrr Productions, Jack The Box, Bobby Starrr Presents Secret Nerve, Mr. Bob Angel, The Starrrs, BlueTone

Born in Wolverhampton, England, just after the release of Donna Summer and Giorgio Moroder´s seminal disco hit "I Feel Love". Music was an important issue from an early age. Hearing his Mothers Beatles and Motown collections, while mixed with his Fathers love of the Big Band Jazz sound, was to have an effect which would immerge later. At 16 years old, he began working at the independant music shop Mike Lloyd Music in his home town, which caused his craze for vinyl to begin, he started collecting the strange but lovable records from Deep Spiritual Jazz and Classic Hip-Hop right through to Detroit Techno Soul and the emerging UK Bleep Sound.. One sunny day while working, a long conversation arises between Bobby Starrr and Leigh Toro aka Flotel, and thus the club night "Meltdown" was born. "Meltdown" was a night where freestyle djing was the forté.....disco, funk, electro, house, techno and Drum n Bass was called on to be played and featured the likes of guest djs, Andrea Parker, Autechre, dj E.A.S.E. from Nightmares On Wax, Jamie Hodge (+8 Records), Joe Babylon (Plug Research), Luke Vibert, Mike Paradinas aka U-Ziq, Mira Calex and Peshay to name just a few. The party was voted into the top 20 clubs of the year by N.M.E. magazine and Mixmaster Morris at Mixmag also gave props to their endeavers... In 1999, Bobby Starrr moved to Vienna, Austria to concentrate on creating and developing his own sound, both in djing and musical production. The legendary "Wednesday Club" at Stein..s Dinner was the first port of call for his djing and with the Hustler Parties at Pipers Ballroom not too long after also.....Productions were by then in demo mode with the classic sounds from D.I.S.C.O. being eaten and spat out out by his old akai sampler. The project Azazel was first born with Vocalist Ginger and followed by Burn Starrr and The Royal Flush Orchestra.... 2003 called Bobby Starrr to Chicago for a networking summer break. Due to meeting several of the citys artists at The Smart Bar and spending his dollars on 12"s at Gramaphone on Clark Street, thus a love for the "Windy City" grew ............2006 - Present = Berlin and Jack The Box
