Photek is on Wipeout 3? Well, on the American version there's no song by him, but perhaps on the european one there is. Oh, and Photek is one guy, and yeah his dark drum 'n' bass is good stuff.

Allso check out his alias SPECIAL FORCES especialy "Bleep tune".
Photek wont release any more DnB under the name Photek, only house n shit.But he still release a 12 inch DnB masterpiece now and then on his own label PHOTEK PRODUCTIONS as SPECIAL FORCES.
I think TEEBE and TOTAL SCIENCE sounds alot like Photek to sometimes.
But no one else can make those perfect razor sharp beats like Photek.

that's a fantastic album. shame he lost it with his disco/house album 'solaris'. a couple b-sides/rarities have surfaced since that album and he's done more dnb stuff. i hope he returns to his previous style, but then again - artists will be artists, right?
you've heard photek's "ni ten ichi ryu" right?

Photek is awesome. He's one od the few if not only true dnb artist that like.
Get Relics(plaid remix) and Pharaoh. Good stuff.

photek is awesome, but solaris sucked. i mean, god that was an awful album. modus operandi is still probably one of the best d n b releases around.

I like pre-Solaris Photek. I've got Modus Operandi, Form & Function and Risc vs Reward. I dig 'em. Also like Source Direct as well Exorcise The Demons is great.

nacmat you're absolutely right! That's the one thing that form & function misses... emotions.... I totally agree. Tho it has some very nice tracks on it...

I think it has emotions. They're in the beats and the vibe it all creates. I dunno. Guess it's something not everyone notices. The fact that it is 'cold' or introverted sounding is emotional to me.

If you can get hold of it his remix of Therapy?'s 'Loose' is a classic.
I like the new deep house he's putting out. Most of you just don't like house, which I find really weird.

Well as someone said he's still putting out drum n' bass under the Special Forces name. He just got fed up with the whole scene I read. As john Lennon once said:
"All we are saying...is give House a chance".

yeah i read a bunch of interviews on that subject and hes completely right on the d'n'b issue....and i dont even listen to house music much,cuz its crap most of the time,i only appreciate some new directions of house like herbert,akufen,mri and such german producers.....but photek's work in that area is ESSENTIAL,and i think if photek releases a pure house album this year it would be the best house album in the history of genre :)

Wow !!! you actualy picked up my info on Special Forces ???or did you know before? cool !!=)
Finaly someone who knows what they are talking about!!! I have posted that like ten times now and it feels like im talking to myself haha!!
Everybody just say "Photek is a sell out" and complain a bit about Solaris.
I say get your facts straight before you post!!!.
I like his house bits to....i usualy hate most house music but a good producer is a good producer....

As I said on another topic two seconds ago, I downloaded some Photek tracks from ''Solaris'' and ''Form and Function''... don't like it. Sounds cheesy and just... erm, not good.

Modus Operandi and Form and Function are great. Risk vs. Reward was a sweet too. As for Solaris, I would of liked it more if he didn't have a male diva do vocals for some of the songs.
Also, make sure to grab 'relics'(plaid mix).

Modus Operandi is his finest. Other stuff just doesn't come close. I get a very cool postmodern vibe from modus operandi, kinda music that would be playing in some futuristic house in a jungle somewhere.
