I've recently really just gotten into drum n' bass i wanna check out photek now cause i've heard he's a pretty good drum n' bass artist. any recomendations by him? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
i have modus operandi, it's very good. especially Aleph 1 and KJZ. :) |
||||||||

Yes, Modus Operandi is essential. |

Source Direct - Exorcise The Demons Get This Album. Do you understand me? |

thanks guys |

Dont forget about "Form and Function" and "Ni Ten ichi Ryu" |

Modus Operandi for hard core DnB only some people found it boring |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Modus Operandi is far superior to most of the other stuff he's done. Highly recommended. Minotaur & KJZ are my favorite tracks. |

His last album was more deep house than d n' b coz he got bored with it and the scene. He's now putting d n' b out under his Special Forces alias. His music is quite distinct from most d n' b and took me a bit of getting used to. For me, the title track of Modus Operandi is his finest. If you can, check out his remix of Therapy?'s 'Loose'. Its one of my fave d n' b tracks. |

Risk vs. Reward for his most tripped out effort. (it includes Ni ten ichi ryu and Hidden camera ep's) |

I'm writing a message to you, boy. |

Me too. |

Shit, wait for mine then reply to it. This is an order!!! |

yer i got solaris, it's pretty crappy, except track 6 aqnd the first two. i havent heard any other photek. but then buying crappy rekkids is the risk i take shopping at sanity. |

"The 3rd Sequence" or whatever its called, on wipeoutxl is classic |
||||||||

Just get all three albums Modus Operandi, Form & Function and Solaris. Solaris isn't shit, just different. If you listen to it with no preconceptions of it being a Photek-stylee d n' b album, you'll uncover a few little gems. Two Sword Technique is also worth digging up, and Seven Samurai is a choooon! |

old-step-cloak: do you shop in sanity too? I live in Australia, too. What city are you in? |

photek = so-so (at best) last I heard, anyway... |

Why is everyone so down on house music? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What? It was GREAT in the early days, now there's so, so much better music! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Photek is the Daddy!!!! Just lie back and listen to Seven Samurai (any mix) and I swear you can hear the Samurai stealthily creeping around your room. His beats and appropriate use of various sound fx are second to none. Just thinking about it makes me wanna listen to some! |

The other track he did for WOXL that's only on the actual CD soundtrack is awesome too. 'Titan' I believe is it's title. |

Im a big fan. Check out his track "DNA" Its one of his best , kind of a step back to the Modus sound but new and improved .The drum programing is mindblowing , so precise and sharp. And on top of all that futuristic sounds ánd beats comes a beautiful spanish guitar solo. I highly recomend it. It was on the B side of the "Terminus" single . Another great track is Special Forces "something else/the bleeps tune" There are two versions of this track. One is heavier darker and more for the clubbs and the other (photek remix) have more of those special photek beats , it reminds me of Ni Ten Ichi Ryo. And also the Special Forces remix of Inta Warriors "Inta" is very cool. "inta inta!!!" And check out "Exocet" This was a good Photek/Special Forces period. His latest work is not so good , just the same sounds loops and vocals he used on solaris arranged into Dnb. Although "Babylon" is pretty cool. Check my topic if you want to hear a promo in real audio. (decent sound quality for being real audio) Jonesy::That Loose remix is hard to find man!! I have been wanting to hear that for a long time. |

I sort of like modus operandi but it can be boring because its so mechanical. And his last release, solaris, that was just shit. |
||||||||

Oh dear. Photek is one of the oldest and finest jungle producers around. What's wrong with people?! |
||||||||
|

Lots of journalist said 'photek opened a way' -- yes, but very few artist followed it - i mean he is considered as a pioneer (wich is right) but I don't see which d'n'b artist made such fine drum programming..... they are all going hardstep that is. (exept a few heroes named afx & tom & etc..) well so, yes I agree with you guys, photek's earlier stuff is ace. |

listening to modus orerandi right now and digging it thanks guys |
||||||||

Alot of dnb producers have been influenced by Photeks sharp beats programming , Total Science and Teebee for example. I hear Photek influences all the time when i listen to different dnb artists. |

stakka and skynet! muahhaahaa they are good |

Damn right Photek is one of the finest d 'n' b producers. I really enjoyed all his work up to Solaris. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I know its on the B-side to the Therapy? CD single but I got it on a compilation (not a great one at that). Its more old skool jungle sounding with the fast snares. I hope you find it. |

I mixed D+B in a club for a while back, and whilst I didn't play much modus operandi for the dance floor I certainly regard it as one of his best albums, I don't take to much of his recent stuff though, |
