The Meltdown Groove...
...is the umbrella under which Mike Starling composes and produces his addictive brand of contemporary, post-rock instrumental music. A hypnotic gumbo of deep bass grooves, funky drum loops, bluesy guitars and exotic percussion and wind instruments, these original compositions have been heard on numerous TV and movie soundtracks and are featured on several recordings. Back now in his old stomping grounds a few blocks from the banks of the Mississippi on the west coast of Wisconsin, Mike is currently plotting the next chapter in The Meltdown Groove story.
