Photek

Real Name:Rupert Parkes
Profile:A fixture on the UK jungle scene since the early nineties, Photek a.k.a. Rupert Parkes (born 1972, St Albans, England) is best known for his role in developing the "intelligent" drum & bass genre. Over the course of his career as Photek, Parkes has developed a sound that is simultaneously individual, innovative and accessible, earning him much respect and popularity amongst critics and music fans alike. The strength of the sound finds foundation in Photek’s incredibly detailed drum programming, which is then augmented by his sophisticated sense for combining abstract sounds with jazz and classic techno influences.

Recently Parkes has been more and more active in producing music for film, having worked on a number of scoring projects for upcoming features from his new home base in Los Angeles. His dedication to film scoring is evident, and his perfectionist attention to detail and tireless work ethic are quickly leading him to success in Hollywood.

behemoth, May 19, 2002

Photek is nothing short of a legend. He has created some of the darkest and technically stunning drum n bass ever made, and tracks like "The Bleeps Tune" and "The Water Margin" will never be forgotten. However, he doesnt make d n b any more, and has moved on to mainly house and a bit of electronica. You wouldnt expect someone that was best known for creating frankly evil-sounding music could create deep, soulful house music, but Mr Rupert Parkes got it right first time. The "Solaris" album came under criticism from some of the drum & bass fraternity, but everyone into house was thoroughly impressed. "Mine To Give" went on to be one of the underground house anthems of the year (with a little help from legendary vocalist Robert Owens). Photek is currently working on some new material. When this will be released is anyones guess.
