PHOTEK (live)

"Photek stands mercilessly on the edge. A sonic scientist, pushing both his sounds and fans' expectations to the outermost limits since 1994, he floods the footnotes of electronica like MP3s clutter up your hard drive."

Rupert 'Photek' Parkes is one of the legends of Jungle and Drum & Bass, releasing his major label classic LP 'Modus Operandi' in 1997. 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.

Watch this classic interview with Photek in his home studio from back in 1996:



After spending the last few years based in Los Angeles (producing music for films and collaborating with the likes of Nine Inch Nails), we are glad that he is back in the UK, producing some of the most forward thinking music around. His new sounds carry all the barbed motifs and icy atmospherics you'll know from his seminal D&B cuts, all tied up tight with his own take on today's contemporary genre-breaking melting pot. He has also just remixed Daft Punk, as well commissioning mixes of his own material by Boddika, Breach and Addison Groove.

Photek (feat. Robert Owens) - Mine To Give (2000)


Photek - 101 (2011)

"Take it or leave it; from this moment on Photek has programmed a new system, the code racing mercilessly towards the main stage where an explosive live show, primed with nothing but his own material, patiently awaits."

For those of you who are new to Photek there is no better starting place than Benji B's Photek Special on his Radio 1 show from March 2011.

HYETAL (live) at Dot To Dot Festival 2011 (29/05/11)

Bank Holiday Sunday 29th May

Dot To Dot Festival 2011

HYETAL (live)

Growing out of Bristol’s second wave of Dubstep starlets alongside producers such as Joker, Gemmy and Julio Bashmore, Hyetal makes music that blurs boundaries, builds dancefloors and ‘drips with colour’. Infact much has been made of the visual nature of Hyetals music, like a kaleidoscope for the ears drums or a synesthesiac’s wet dream.

“Hyetal has a kinda strange and tender magic that is just truly enchanting”

Mary Anne Hobbs (BBC Radio 1)

Since relocating from his native Southampton he has been fully embraced by his new home of Bristol, releasing on the local labels Punch Drunk and Soul Motive.

His collaborations with Julio Bashmore (as Velour for Night Slugs), Shortstuff, Peverelist & Baobinga and mixes for Mary Anne Hobbs (BBC Radio 1), Fabric Live, FACT & LuckyMe have help to showcase the sound of this next generation of ‘post’ Dubstep artists and firmly sits Hyetal right in the middle of them.

Hyetal's first single from his forthcoming debut long-player 'Phoenix' dropped last year, gaining rave reviews from the likes of Resident Advisor, Pitchfork, Fact Magazine & Knowledge:



On May 2, the talented producer will add a full-length LP to his repertoire. The 10-track Broadcast will drop via Bristol-based imprint 'Black Acre', preceded by the recently released single, 'Diamond Islands'. On the inspiration behind that fresh track, Hyetal says, "I wanted to make something stripped back, so most of it’s just [vocalist Alison Garner], sub-bass, a drum machine, and this weird atmosphere."

Hyetal - Diamond Islands

Check out his 2010 mix for Fact Magazine (featuring the likes of Julio Bashmore, Mosca, Doc Daneeka, Shortstuff, Headhunter, Starkey, Guido, Gemmy & Prince!):

JIMMY EDGAR (Warp / K7! / Live)
Born in Detroit, Jimmy Edgar began experimenting with electronic music at age 10, and by the age of 15 was DJing alongside the likes of Detroit legends Juan Atkins and Derrick May.

In 2001 at the tender of 18, his hyper-sexed microchip stylings caught the ear of Warp, where he cranked out his brand of amped-up laptop funk for the next eight years, culminating in the full-length classic 'Color Strip'. Now 26, Edgar is shaking things up at German beat boutique !K7.
His recent album "XXX" was released in June 2010 to critical acclaim.

Jimmy is also pretty nifty with a camera. His photography has been shown in Vogue, Dazed, H, Notion, Clash and URB, and his work has been shown in London, NYC & Los Angeles. Jimmy has also shot for such bands as Hercules Love Affair, Her Bad Habit, Kelley Polar, Plus Device, Steve Mason/King Biscuit Time/Black Affair, Pretty Positive, Dead on TV, Kava Kon, Theophilus London, Machinedrum and more.
