"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.
On Sunday May 1st as part of the Indoor Festival 2011 we are pleased to welcome back the first lady of Radio, BBC Radio 1's Annie Mac!
Born in Dublin to a family immersed in musicality, Annie Mac left home at 17 to attend Queen's University in Belfast, where she was bitten by the clubbing bug, and inspired to purchase her first set of decks, Annie taught herself to mix using old funk and soul records bought from local charity shops. Following a stint as part of Shine's marketing team and four months living in Manhattan, Annie made the move to London, working simultaneously as a TV and radio plugger, a freelance broadcasting assistant and a presenter for the SBN, before she approached BBC Radio 1.
Annie's show on Radio 1 began in July 2004 when, working as a assistant producer on Zane Lowe's show, she impressed Radio 1 bosses with her demos and her determination.
Since then her show has gone from strength to strength. Annie Mac's Mash Up on Friday nights on Radio 1 has attracted a host of loyal followers from around the world and sees Annie play the cutting-edge dance music which she has become known for.
Annie is a talented club DJ, playing reguarly at Stealth since 2005. We have hosted the Nottingham leg of the annual DJ tour 'Annie Mac Presents...' for the last few years, which features Annie playing alongside some of her favourite acts. The clubnight has launched the off-shoot of the 'Annie Mac presents...' CD Compilations:
Since 2009, Annie Mac's show has moved to the new time slot of 7pm to 9pm, taking over from Pete Tong. One of the highlights of the show are the weekly 'mini-mixes' where Annie's guests make a special mix of all of their favourite songs all 'mashed-up' into a 5 minute mix. A selection of the mixes can be downloaded from here.
To listen to Annie's latest show head over to her BBC iPlayer site.
Annie is known for playing an eclectic mix of genres in her DJ sets, including House, Dubstep, Drum & Bass, UK Funky and Disco. Have a listen to her 2010 'Y.M.A.C' Disco mix (originally available via her Annie Mac Presents blog):
As we have mentioned previously, Bank Holiday Sunday May 1st sees the return of THE INDOOR FESTIVAL to Stealth, The Rescue Rooms and Rock City.
As part of the event we are pleased to welcome back one of our favourite acts from the last few years, JACK BEATS !
JACK BEATSare Beni G (Mixologists) & Plus One (Scratch Perverts), who via their wobbly basslines, big breakdowns and edgy accapellas they have created their own floor-filling brand of house.
Regulars at Stealth since their debut in 2008, the guys first appeared on our radar via their remix of AC Slater's 'Jack Got Jacked':
Their first show at Stealth was at 'Made You Look' back in 2008 and was followed by shows in 2009 at the dollop Birthday (alongside Diplo) and then in November '09 alongside Zane Lowe & Kissy Sell Out.
Their releases kept coming thick & fast - including the dancefloor bomb 'Get Down', 'UFO' and 'Revolution'.
Their latest track is a collaboration with Drum & Bass legend John B, reworking his track 'Up All Night':
The track is out immanently on Cheap Thrills backed with a killer remix from Skream:
The guys also recorded a mix for Mixmag back in January - and then edited it down into a 'minimix' format which you can download here. Also check out their mix for MISHKA:
"I’m a 23 year old producer who lives just outside of Croydon and i produce house music with influences from drum and bass, garage, grime and mainly uk sounding dance music."
After cutting his production teeth with the drum and bass genre, Christian Sibthorpe went on to form the nu-rave band 'Partyshank', before moving onto the more bass-heavy side of Electro, Garage & Techno under his A1 Bassline alias. His first release, the "Girl Thing" EP was released in 2008, and immediately gained support from the likes of Annie Mac, Sinden & Kissy Sell Out.
A1 Bassline's 2nd EP "Bad Man Horror", was released on Fatboy Slim's Label Southern Fried and reached the heady-heights of number 2 in the MTV dance chart, smashing up clubs via the likes of DJs Fake Blood, Armand Van Helden, Jack Beats, Steve Aoki, Jaymo & Andy George, Bloody Beetroots & Rob Da Bank. This was followed by the 'Breathless' EP, released via Southern Fried during the summer of 2010:
In late 2010 A1 Bassline set up the label 'Tighten Up' alongside Tek-One & Kavsrave, releasing the single 'Stabs' following support from Boys Noize, Feadz, Jack Beats & DJ Zinc:
A1 Bassline's latest offering shows he's been moving with the times. 'Shock Headed' sounds like the kind of massive stripped-down dancefloor bomb you might hear on Swamp81. Built around booming sub-bass, electro drums and chopped, slowed down, industrially heavy breaks, smacked-out hip-hop vocals melding everything together, its crying out for a loud club soundsystem to fully appreciate it.
Flip over, and there's more deep sub-action on '1.4.7', whose rigid house sits somewhere between Julio Bashmore's dirtybird antics and Boddika's less paranoid moments:
This week we will mostly be listening to the new 'Crack House' mix from DJ Zinc, which dropped via his Soundcloud page at the end of last week.
As usual Zinc avoided providing us with a tracklisting, but the mix contains tracks (and Zinc's own edits) from Girl Unit, P Money, Roska, S-X, Redlight, SBTRKT, Erol Alkan, Katy B, Boys Noize, Jack Beats & lots more.
(If you want to download the mix for your iPod then click here).
DJ Zinc plays at The Indoor Festival 2011. For more info click here.
