No kidding. I was sitting on my bed listening to The Seven Samerai (not the remix but track 9 on Form and Function) and was thinking what form of drum and bass that would be under and then it hit me! Would you guys consider that track drill n bass? It sure sounds like it. Albeit more repetive than say []<'s drill n bass I think it would be classified as such....like an early drill n bass. Any thoughts on this? |

Hmmm, perhaps. I'll have to go take a listen. I generally consider Photek dark drum 'n' bass, which is some kickass stuff. I hope Rupert releases some new stuff soon. If you don't already get Modus Operandi, it's very good. |

Tell me about this Photek, I have been hearing alot about them, are they worth a listen? |

photek=Rupert Parkes I defintely think he is. He's been around since the early 90's and has released some good tracks. If your able to d/l songs I'd suggest starting with: Pharaoh and Ni Ten Ichi Ryu(I think that's right, you'll see it) He is probally my favorite conventional drum 'n' bass producer. |

OLD Photek RULES.....SOLARIS Blew |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, solaris was bad, those 2 songs I mentioned are pre-solaris. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ack, no dont tell me its bad! Ive got the whole thing downloading off SoulSeek! So I guess its a waste of my bandwidth then? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Its HORRIBLE...theres only one or two good tracks...I think its # 6 or 7 thats real good, i dont have it near me...=)...The rest is a SHITTY attempt at SHITTY house music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, not necissarily. I just prefer his pre-solaris releases. Modus Operandi and Risc V.S. Reward. Don't get the whole album, try a few songs 1st. I forgot: Photek - Relics(Plaid Mix) is good too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, he went with a housy atmosphere with some downbeat in there too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Damn, cant get any of his stuff downloaded fast enough to get a good listen. Gonna have to wait till tomorrow to form an opinion unless the magic network fairy comes along and gives me a DS3 connection to suit my need for speed. |

you'll love it...he's so in control of his sound...I wouldn't call it drillnBass tho...it's just DrumNBass; Rupert was/is was the best DnB producers in the UK....He used to spend an incredible amount of time constructing his breaks, making em something special... Ni Ten ... .... whatever is may fave...great little video of samuri's sword figiting to go with it as well if you can find that... and yeah, pre-solaris is the way to go...DnB kinda died in the UK so a lot of the producers moved onto UK Garage or just faded away....Photek went towards this housey sound on Solaris that's ok but strangly old-fashioned for a man of his talents...lost his way a bit I guess... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
He still produce great DnB as "Special Forces" on Photek Produktions =) I really hope his next move is a Special Forces album!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Unfortunately his latest is not as good as his previous recordings,its more kind of commercial and less jungle...Still like his music and remixes but his earliest stuff,hope he comes back to his jungle/d-n-b roots next time........ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well he said in a interview ("Groove" i think?) "I reckon i will return to the Ni Ten era sometime sooner or later , thats the Photek sound innit ? " Yay!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i read that article too... i love Ni ten stuff....I LOVE IT!!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
..and yeah, it was in Groove magazine. |

Sweet! old school photek going back to the old school dnb! |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
i was mad disapointed with solaris. i gave it to my mom because i found it so boring. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It was extremely boring. I don't know how he got away with it. I think it's because he got married. I think that really messed him up and made him go all squishy and less dark. Marrage will DO DAT 2 U! so like...yeah...um...photek rules |

I forgot how much I love Plaid's remix of Relics. It's just outstanding. I can't get enough of it. |
||||||||
|

|||||||||

Ni Ten Ichi Ryu. Ryu is Japnese for dragon, BTW. I have Form and Function, Risk VS Reward, and Solaris. I like the first 2 tracks on Solaris, but the rest are shite. I like the remix of the 7 Samurai better though. Those short bursts of cowbells kick ass! |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Ni ten ichi ryu is japanese for dragon? Uh, I thought it meant "two swords technique", it has swordclash samples in it and in the video there are samurai fighters fighting with a sword in each hand... |
