HARD POWER (Produced by Gavin Russom and Zachery Allan Starkey)

HEIDEMANN is the solo project of NY-based singer and multi-instrumentalist Monika Heidemann. When not performing and touring as HEIDEMANN, she plays synthesizers in The Juan MacLean and was formerly the lead singer of NYC’s electronic-pop band, Xylos.

HEIDEMANN performs minimalist pop songs with electric bass, synthesizers and pulsing analog drum machines supporting her fearlessly intimate vocals. After releasing her acclaimed solo debut Orphan EP in September 2014, HEIDEMANN is now gearing up to release her new Detectives EP, which includes the single “I’m So In Love,“ featuring vocals from Nancy Whang (LCD Soundsystem and The Juan MacLean).

Brooklyn, NYC based Musician and Photographer. 

"If you’ve put in any time in the New York dark electronic scene, you’ve seen Zachery Allan Starkey... ZAS’s album DIY is a snarling, sneeringly real, darkly emotional electronic record, tackling everything from relationships to trust-fund babies.

His new video for DIY single “Into The Sun” is a shock of color, a page from the visual stimulant playbook recently employed to great effect by the likes of The Weeknd, with an obvious nod to city-as-character from Blade Runner. It’s an incredibly pretty video for an incredibly bleak song, and the juxtaposition fits nicely with everything ZAS seems to stand for. Take a look, and if you enjoy check out the rest of DIY." 
- Brightest Young Things NYC

"Zachery Allan Starkey is a unique figure on the New York alt/underground scene, fusing 80s retro techno with 21st century dissatisfaction and vitriol. Starkey's sound could be described as an updated Human League/LCD Soundsystem, with a US version of John Lydon’s biting vitriol on vocals."
- God Is in the TV UK

"By combining basic darkwave synths with Gary Numan-esque vocals, Starkey’s newest single, ‘Into the Sun’, paints personal loss in simple poetic strokes.”
-The Deli Magazine

"Zachary Allen Starkey borrows aesthetically from goth/punk/avant garde, and his sound is somehow perfectly paired to that look. Electro-clash and 80s grunge come together with vocals akin to The Clash, instrumentation close to New Order, and a general resemblance to Soft Cell. While it sounds straight out of an 80s indie kid’s cassette player, Starkey’s vocals are the modernizing aspect; we’re all FUCKED! is a track about the economy & wall street, while the spellbinding Into The Sun confronts dealing with the unfair loss of a loved one. Beyond all of that it’s the electrifying synth melodies throughout both tracks that have launched Starkey into a phase of recognition. Goes well with cigarettes, eye liner, and French accents. "

"Pure Genius."
- Revgay Magazine

"Electro Punk For the Masses."
- Gothic Summer

"Cool, intelligent, witty Electro songs that sound like the Mutant Baby of New Order, PIL, and the Pet Shop Boys. ZAS brings the spirit of Post Punk New York into the present. There is nothing else like ZAS in NYC."
- Juvenile Sophistication

"ZAS makes awesome and unique dance music." 
- Wot's Worthwhile NYC: Fashion and Music

"Zachery Allan Starkey has musically gone to other side with new synth inventions, witty songs, and fame all over the world. Most of his songs, such as his hit NO TEXTING ON THE DANCE FLOOR!, tackle technology’s strange effect on interpersonal communication." 
-Wecanthesong.org

"ZAS has some musical genius that is so far advanced, it just sounds like noise to the mere mortals who review it. Perhaps he is a perfect being sent from a distant galaxy to probe our puny human minds with his synths. Whatever the case, he has become a legend in and of himself . I'll tell you why- he is a genius. Love him or hate him, he got your attention.I will continue to avoid texting on the dance floor, and I will forever be on Team ZAS."
-Melt Magazine

" ZAS's new album COMMUNICATION....FUCKING GENIUS!"
-The Other Paper

"Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Zachery Allan Starkey has seen fit to release the timely single “Love Is a Form of Mental Illness.” It’s another slice of post-Euro-weenie-electro-pop with Daniel Johnston/Wesley Willis-like vocals by the Man Who Would Be Mr. Gaga."
- The Other Paper 

“ Starkey's Cocaine!, it is brilliantly called—brilliantly titled, brilliantly executed, brilliantly everything...I predict it will become an international hit and on corporate mall playlists everywhere, like Forever 21..Girls react to the Richard Simmons-style aerobics disco beat—they dance. Bottomest of bottom lines: You need to hear this."
-The Other Paper 

"Cocaine!" is sleek and sharp. And though Starkey's vocals are still an acquired taste, he does a pretty good LCD Soundsystem homage here. That Casio drumbeat and those skittering keyboards make good bedfellows."
- The Alive

“The first taste of the new Starkey is his new single, "NO TEXTING ON THE DANCE FLOOR!". The song tackles technology's strange effect on interpersonal communication. Matched with synthesizers and drum machines played by hand, Starkey is using mixes directly from co-producer Bryan Moss' four-track and eight-track machines. The result is raw, lively recordings that verge on outsider art but definitely capture Starkey's intended vibe…meet Zach Starkey 2.0.”
