A SHARED PASSION.
A COSMIC SEARCH FOR CONNECTION.

Starmageddon is the San Francisco Bay Area electronic duo of California natives Flynn Gleason — formerly known as Particle Junkie (with album Hot ’N’ Nerdy) — and Ralph Hertelendy. Blending Flynn’s industrial roots with Ralph’s background in trance and house DJing, their music brings together intricate production, compelling melodies, cinematic atmosphere, and dance-floor energy. They call their sound “Sophisti-tronica” — the product of more than two decades of friendship and musical exploration.

The pair began making music around 2003 as The Untouchablez. Their first track, “Spiritual Conception,” won the Propellerheads “Prop Idol” International Music Competition in the UK, setting the stage for an adventurous creative partnership. Their early productions explored progressive arrangements and atmospheric textures, building immersive electronic worlds fitting for video-game soundtracks.

Life eventually pulled them in different directions, putting the project on hold while their friendship endured. Following a long hiatus, they reunited with fresh perspective and a shared ambition: to create more accessible, melody-driven music while preserving the complexity and character of their earliest work.

Starmageddon emerged from that reunion. The name evokes a supernova, reflecting the creative energy of a partnership renewed. Now preparing their debut release, Flynn and Ralph introduce this next chapter through “Follow Me” and “Just You,” bringing their long-running collaboration into a new era.
