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.
Recently Parkes has been more and more active in producing music for film, having worked on a number of scoring projects for upcoming features from his new home base in Los Angeles (most notably for The Animatrix and The Italian Job). His dedication to film scoring is evident, and his perfectionist attention to detail and tireless work ethic are quickly leading him to success in Hollywood.

FungusMonk: usually isn't, but my point was that his isn't. actually i suppose my point was that the kind of dubstep he's making is vastly inferior to the type of music he used to make.

I kinda gave up on him. 'Closer' is a nice atmospheric tune though, probably the best stuff from him in over a decade. So maybe there is hope...

@zxzxyx right of course because clearly no dubstep could EVER be good. /sarcasm. that being said, avalanche is pretty okay.
