A primer on the drum’n’bass legend.

Best known as pioneering UK producer Photek, Rupert Parkes has been releasing music under over 11 different aliases since the mid-90s.

From formative years learning tenor saxophone and piano before shifting into electronic sequencing and composition, he then became a seminal force in shaping the UK’s drum’n’bass sound.

To take us through the world of Parkes’ output is German producer Moomin:
