UK producer and musician <en>Photek</en>, born in 1972 in St Albans, England, has been a prominent figure on the UK jungle scene since the early nineties. Known for his role in developing the "intelligent" drum & bass genre, Photek's sound is characterized by individuality, innovation, and accessibility. His incredibly detailed drum programming combined with abstract sounds and influences from jazz and classic techno create a unique sonic experience.

In recent years, Photek has ventured into film scoring, working on various projects for upcoming features from his new home base in Los Angeles. His dedication to this craft is evident through his perfectionist attention to detail and tireless work ethic. As he continues to establish himself in Hollywood, fans eagerly anticipate the possibility of a new D&B album from him after over 20 years.

Box Sets

Originally issued on Science/Virgin in September 1997, Modus Operandi established Rupert Parkes as an unmistakable force within the realm of drum and bass and downtempo - Modus Operandi is presented here with scrupulous attention to the detail of its original UK first pressing and is available on three 140gm LPs.

Born in Suffolk, Parkes, learnt saxophone as a child, but by the early 90s, he like&nbsp;many others, got into electronic music, and by the middle of the decade was&nbsp;making inventive, skeletal, drum and bass. Photek was first heard on his own&nbsp;label, with releases such as Seven Samurai and U.F.O, which brought him to the&nbsp;attention of Goldie, who released his calling card Natural Born Killa EP on his&nbsp;Metalheadz imprint. Photek's slower take on what was then known as 'jungle',&nbsp;produced a half- step breakbeat, adding a glacial, mellowness to the relentless&nbsp;beats.

By the time of his signing to Virgin, Photek was truly making waves, and Modus&nbsp;Operandi was trailed by The Hidden Camera mini album, which reached the UK&nbsp;Top 40, as did the single Ni Ten Ichi Ryu. Modus Operandi was a critical and&nbsp;commercial success, reaching the Top 40 and establishing him as a go- to&nbsp;producer and remixer. The space around his beats and his ample yet judicious range of effects can be heard on tunes such as The Hidden Camera and the jazz&nbsp;influenced title track.
