Starsplash is a project name in the electronic dance music (EDM) scene, primarily associated with German DJ and producer Franky Tunes (real name Frank Knebel). Known for their energetic tracks and remixes that have reverberated through the early 2000s dance floors, Starsplash made a strong impact within the hardstyle and trance genres, the latter being a major force in the European club scene.

Starsplash soared in popularity particularly with their single "Free," which became an anthem of its time, showcasing their ability to merge catchy melodies with thumping bass lines—a formula that they replicated in several subsequent releases. Over the years, they have taken fans on a musical journey with tracks like "Cold As Ice 2.07," which infuses a modern twist into the well-loved original, and "Back By Popular Demand," reflecting their sustained relevance in the dance music community. Singles such as "Hardstyle," "Can U Kick It," and "Alive" demonstrate their commitment to the genre's evolving soundscape, while also staying true to the raw, powerful energy that originally defined the Starsplash sound. Despite not being widely known in the mainstream, Starsplash remains a respected name among hardstyle and trance aficionados, continuing to excite with their rhythmic prowess and dynamic production.
