A fixture on the UK jungle scene since the early nineties, Photek a.k.a. Rupert Parkes 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. that's why i love his style...mad drum production and an abstract approach to dnb. |

seems like croatians like him quite a bit. i got sent two of his albums (i think), but, um, i didn't think that much of it :) |
||||||||

|
|
Yeah, Source Direct is also verry fine ! |
||||||||
|

|
um...do they? i got 4 albums from him and all are superb only cos i rather like to focus on drum programming. i have in mid to do an ep solely of drum programming and maybe some minimal melodies just to sum up the circle. |

photek???? good drum programming??? all the stuff ive heard from has has been the usual 2-step stuff, nothing exciting at all, saw him at fabric too, was expecting something great, but was just 2-step beats and monotonous basslines sidewinder is good though |

You have to listen the older tunes! -> Hidden Camera, ..... |

dnb is a kind of music that's not too innovative, imo... i didn't hear much of the innovations since the 90s,did you? |
||||||||
|

|
|
altho,photek has a certain style that i see as a futuristic way of 2step/dnb. |

the thing u saw was his DJ SET there is a huge difference between what artist produces and what artist plays in his dj set quite straightforward id say and btw, his new tunes r brilliant, especially the house ones, much betta than bfr...imo... |

"dnb is a kind of music that's not too innovative, imo..." i think its completely innovative by its very nature... right now i know a lot of people who r saying its gone stale and whatever, but i think its coming back, newer more experimental producers u have to look out for but yeah it was stale for a while |

well, i know at least two croatian people who like him (and one is you) haha. |

Photek fell off a long time ago IMHO. It's ironic that his sound has become that which he used to criticise. If you want to check out d&b with interesting drum programming visit www.offshore-recordings.com Sileni - "Twitchy Droid Leg" and Intex Systems - "Burning Bridges (Drum Track 1)" illustrate d&b at its most innovative! 95% of d&b is poor quality imho but there are some gems. |

i couldn't agree more with you... when you check out metalheadz u realise that dnb is uterly boring in one way. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i got a feeling that it isn't, cos 95% of producers seem to chop up the old skool breaks or the most famous amen break and do the rhythmic patters. why is it soo hard to come up with the new breaks? |

DnB=Jungle. Same thing, just the media renamed it to DnB for the masses. And yeah, Photek is the shiiiit. I love his T-Raenon EP off the Op-ART label. Both DnB songs are ace, but the really stomper is his Downtempo/Electro tune "Kanei." |

Anyone called Rupert but pretends they're called Photek is clearly a shit. |
